    What's going on?

    Being almost 24 weeks, I only just got over morning sickness/loss of appetite at 20 weeks and now since last week i am feeling nausous all day again and it feels exactly like morning sickness. Why? It only lasted until 15 weeks with DD and 13 weeks with DS.

    I have not gained any weight either. I did gain 1kg a couple of weeks ago but now it's gone again. Why? I have this huge belly, so where is the weight going? Some may think its great to not gain anything, but it's not. It's making me worry, alot.

    Antheia,

    I have not gained that much weight at all either and I managed to loose weight in the first 20 weeks as I was crook with MS too. My OB was not concerned about that at all and said that as long as the bub is measuring well and growing then thats all that matters - I have put on about 7 kgs the whole preg so far and bubs is fine.
    As I said my MS didnt let up till 20-ish weeks and now in the mornings I feel crook again too - I dont throw up any more but I still feel sick on and off during the day.
    Your not alone!! Please dont worry and if you are at all concerned call your OB or midwife and ask them to see you.

    Antheia. with my first two i only gained 4kgs with each of them. I puked every morning from 6 to 21 weeks with both of them. And my doctors only concern was dehydration. Try and keep fluids up. You'll be ok honey.

    Isnt there an old wives tale that says difficult pg = easy baby or something like that???

    My bestest friend went through the samething gained weight and had m/s up until 14 weeks with the first 2 ds but with her third ds was sick with m/s until the day he was born...must say that although she had a terrible time with the pg her 3rd ds is an angel...so lets hope you experience the samething...i always say if you are really worried have a chat with your gp/ob/midwife...hope your feeling better soon

    I think I have gained your weight!!! Don't be worried, everyone puts on different amounts, and if your tummy is growing that's the main thing. It is also not unusual to lose a bit of weight in pregnancy, even when not sick or throwing up. I lost weight in my first preg so it kind of evened out.
    Also I just wanted to say that my nausea keeps returning, just when I think it's gone for good. and it seems worse each time. Again, I'd think it's normal. There's always something to worry about though isn't there! xo
