weight gain

This is my 3rd pregnancy.  I have lost 18lbs so far.  I'm 5'6" and down to 121lbs. I'm 12weeks along and can't keep anything down.  Haven't stopped puking since 5weeks pregnant.  I rarely keep water down.  I've spoken to my doc n she won't give me meds for nausea (like zofran) because she believes they are more risk to baby than lack of nutrition.  I'm able to hold back throwing up long enough to digest my vitamins.  Just hoping that not keeping ANY food down doesn't hurt baby's development.  I just don't understand why she won't give me meds for nausea.

If I was you, I would change doctors. I was having mild nausea not quite puking yet, just the watery mouth and I told my Doctor about it and she said that if I wanted they would prescribe me anti nausea meds.
