weight loss

I'm am now 20 weeks along. I've reached the halfway mark so I'm excited. The one thing that concerns me is that I haven't gained a pound. I've actually lost almost 7 lbs since finding out that I was pregnant. At my last ultrasound my baby was Appx 11 oz so that's good. But the weight loss still disturbs me. Have any of you experienced a lot of weight loss instead of weight gain?

Yes i lost about 30 pounds during the first trimester and am still 20 pounds down now at 39 weeks. Baby will take all the nutrients first then you get whats left. As long as baby growing and healthynits nothing to worry about.
