4 months preggo and loosing weight!! HELP!

According to my last period I am almost 16 wks. I have not been able to get into the doctors yet, but have an appointment on the 12th. I didnt find out until I was almost 11 wks anyway.
This is my 3rd pregnancy, both my other ones were normal. I had HORRIBLE morning sickness, more nausea than anything until about 2 1/2 or 3 wks ago to where I was not able to eat anything, sometimes I would eat half of a PB&J all day. But thats changed and Im eating fine...and taking my prenatal vitamins. BUT IM LOOSING WEIGHT!!!
I wear a juniors size 11 and they have gotten to the point that they fall off me when I walk. My belly doesnt look smaller. But my legs are extremly noticably smaller, my collar bones are showing pretty bad, my face is thinning out. What could this be??? My mother had pre-eclampcia (I probably spelled that wrong) with me, so I was only 3 lbs. My 2 sons were 3 lbs 8 oz, and 5 lb 7 oz. But I never had any problems at all with either. Can someone please help me and give me an idea on what it might be.
Thanks.

I understand that its normal to loose weight...but the thing is, I have lost like 15 lbs...I was gaining!! But then it just stopped and went the other direction. I always lose a little in the beginning too. But nothing like this.

I lost weith the forst 4 months of my preg too.. its not uncommon.  I lost 7 lbs in the first 3 months then stayed there at my 4 month apointment.  Today day at 22 weeks though i found out i packed on 6 lbs in the past month.  Its not a big deal to lsoe weith in the beggining and before you know it youll catch up, i couldnt believe it when they told me i gaind 6lbs today.  But my doc said thats just how it goes for some people, you lose weight in the beggining then just wake up with a belly one morning.

My cousin lost about 10 lbs. by the time she delivered her son.  She wasn't at the ideal weight for her height when she got pregnant.  She had horrible morning sickness 1st thru the beginning of her 2nd trimester.  But, in the end, she delivered a little boy who was over 8 lbs.  If you are worried, your doctor should be notified.  He/she will let you know if it is something to be worried about.  Good luck...

I know that it can be common to have loose weight during the beginning of pregnancy. I lost weight in the beginning as well and didnt start actually putting on pounds until after the 20th week. Also, extreme morning sickness can lead to you loosing weight as well since you wouldn't have been getting all your vitamins and nutrients and if the morning sickness just ended about 2 1/2-3 weeks ago than it hasn't been nearly enough time for your body to get back to where it was... since if you think about it when you get sick and loose weight it always takes longer to put the weight back on. You should see your doctor though if you are concerned because that is what they are there for!
