@Kryara Thank you. I was so baffled as to why she seemed so upset with me. My first pregnancy I gained 34lbs, second pregnsncy only 26, and the last one was 36lbs. Morning sickness has gotten worse with each pregnancy..and I don't control that, I just have to deal with it ya know. I agree with Zofran Being King. it's the only thing that helps me keep anything down lol. I take it about 4 times a say so that I can eat and drink. I have a very active 13 month old boy at home who keeps me running and two daughters...i swear it's from all the exercise I get and not from a lack of eating. I am 5'7" and was 148lbs  when I got pregnant with this one, which is a healthy weight and am down to 141lbs now...it is just frustrating

I'm 28wks and have gained 20lb. I feel a little rubbish about it but my shape hasn't changed, it's all in my bump. I was likely borderline underweight (according to BMI) pre-pregnancy and my midwife is happy with my weight so far. I eat pretty well and am pretty active so I'm trying not to stress, just got a lot of work ahead of me once baby arrives... :)

@jenandrandal- I am in the same position as you. I am near 17 weeks, by 13 I had lost nearly a stone due to HG. Zofran is king as far as I am concerned because after way to many hospital admissions it helps me keep water and some food down! I still have not gained any weight and I think I am still losing but its not as drsmatic as before, because my weight is staying same even though I've a bump now. Your doctor sounds as though they do not understand HG and the difficulty of it. I was a healthy bmi before pregnancy and while I still am it's now at lower end of the scale. My doctor told me that right now they are not worried as baby is growing on target and I am taking my anti-nausea vitamins. Do not worry you're doing great!

I'm on my 4th pregnancy, I have had severe "morning sickness" that lasts all day. I'm 14 weeks and have lost 7lbs. I'm eating several times a day and with the help of zofran keeping most of it down. My doctor scolded me yesterday for losing weight...accusing me of not eating. :( she made me feel like I was doing something wrong...I have 3 kids that I'm running around with every day...I swear that's why I'm losing weight. I am showing a little and baby has good strong heart beat...so what else can I do ya know? Just thought I would share, I left there feeling awful.

Ive put on a normal amount according to this app, but still it makes me feel really ugly when i have to wear certain things, like dresses. Never been a body issue kind of person, but this is different
