Brief Answer:
Normal finding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Most women in the first trimester are surprised to discover that not only are they not gaining weight, but are actually losing some.
The weight gain in the first trimester can be as low as 5 pounds total, and for some women, even a loss of a few pounds is normal.
The
morning sickness and
nausea contributes to that.
You should not worry as long as your
ultrasound scan tells you that the baby is growing quite normally.
That is the most reliable indicator of a healthy
pregnancy.
Also, if the morning sickness is bad to the extent that you just cannot keep anything down ( that does not seem to be the case with you ), then you have reason to worry and consult your doctor .
At present, do not focus on the weight gain / loss, as the actual weight gain might start showing up only in the second trimester onwards.
Do not have undue
stress /
anxiety, as that will negatively impact your fetus.
Take care, and enjoy your pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
