weight gain

I'm 6 weeks today. I'm overweight and my weight tends to fluctuate. I weigh myself every week. But since I found out that I'm pregnant (a little over a week ago) I've lost 6 pounds. I haven't been dieting or had morning sickness, so I don't know why I'm losing weight. Is my baby going to be ok? I haven't got to see a Dr yet.

Don't worry about it. I'm 33 weeks and haven't gained any weight. I keep losing it but the baby is gaining it. Just make sure to eat healthy and exercise.  I try to walk 5000steps a day which seems to be doing the trick. I'm sure you'll be fine =(

You should be just fine and so should baby I'm almost 6' and weight 257 lbs when I got pregnant and dropped 17 lbs in the first trimester it wasn't until about 16 weeks that I started putting weight back on my doc said with me being over weight I don't really need to gain as much  as somebody with my build weight 145lbs they don't like so see a whole lot of weight gain with heavier women so you Nd baby will be just fine
