weight gain

This is my second pregnancy and I haven't gained any weight but have lost at least 8 lbs. I'm 16 weeks. My doctor said I wasn't eating enough but I eat all the time just about. With my first pregnancy I had no problem gaining but now I just keep losing more than I actually gain. Does anyone else have or had this problem? It worries me. I do have a pretty stressful job where I work anywhere from 8 to 12 hours a day on my feet. Could this be the source of my problem?

My height and weight are the same as they were with my first child. I am actually overweight to begin with. I am now 21 weeks and still haven't gained any weight. At least I'm not losing anymore which is a good thing.

Not to be rude but how much do you weigh at your height? That plays a factor in weight gain
