Q: 17 weeks pregnant and down 12lbs!! Worried!

I am 17 weeks tomorrow and am down 12 lbs from when I found out I was pregnant! The past week I've almost stopped eating completely. I try but I can usually only stomach one bite of anything no matter what it is. LITERALLY everything makes me sick. Should I be worried? I read I should have gained at least 5 lbs by now.

Pregnancy so far has been the best weight loss plan I've ever seen!

Hey, I pretty much gave up eating for a while as it was such an ordeal. The hospital recommended those meal shake (chocolate flavour was my best!) things and they worked really well, you can just sip them over the course of the day and it made my body think i was eating and sometimes i even felt full. I managed up to 3 bottles a day and then that gave me the help to eat without being sick. Goodluck

Hey Hun, I am 11 weeks and have lost 15lbs so far.. (have had violent ms puking 10-15 times a day) as long as your dr isn't worried you shouldnt be.. My mum only gained 4lbs with me her whole pregnancy (lost a fair bitat the start but only ended up 4lbs over her start weight) as the drs have said to me bub will be getting everything he/she needs it's just you that will be missing out- if baby needs it they will take it from your stores.. Just try and eat frequently and small amounts.. I find one or two bites every half our or so is so much easier on my body than full meals
