not gaining weight.

I am at 11 weeks and have not gained a lb. and actually lost a couple. I know this is typical of women who have morning sickness, but I don't have that symptom. It worries me because I've only had one Dr apt. this trimester and I won't go back for another few weeks but now is the time we could potentially tell our families, and it would be really hard to have to tell them later that something is wrong.
Anyone else have similar symptoms?

I'm 15 weeks and have lost almost 20 lbs. My Dr says my body will gain or lose the right amount for the baby as long as I continue to eat right. So I wouldn't worry about it!

Its totally normal, your body is fluctuating with fluids so your weight will go up and down. You have plenty of time to gain weight still :)
