I wouldn't worry too much if your eating normally then inthe first 3 months they say u should gain around 5lb....but if your feeling sick and not eating normally then I'm sure that's why...they say that u should only eat and extra 200 calories a day which is an extra 2slices of toast, my friend only put on a stone the whole pregnancy, I've already put on a stone which I'm not happy about!, are u still feeling rough?

Try and eat little and often if you can. I wouldn't worry about not gaining weight at this stage. It is if you loose weight you need to take action. As baby mother said it is normal to have gained about 5lbs at this stage.

The thing to remember is that your baby will 'take' what it needs from you before your body does - so you are more likely to be left deficient in vitamins etc than your baby is. Obviously a healthy balanced diet is preferable but just nibble at whatever you can as often as you can. Most importantly, stay hydrated - if you're not keeping fluids down go and see your doctor for a bit of help. I was very sick with this baby so know how rubbish it is (I survived on ready salted crisps for 3 months!), hopefully yours will clear up really soon. Try to stay positive :-)

I've lost a stone and still not put on any weight, no one seems to worry! I go for the quality not quantity, nibble on a range of stuffs and hope for the sickness to pass, but I agree with the others, of little and often, and good luck!
