3 stone weight loss at 15 weeks

Hi everyone, I’m currently 15 weeks and I have zero appetite. I’m losing weight even faster than I did in my first trimester, which is a bit strange.
Nothing sounds good to me at all, I’m just not interested in any food and I can’t force myself to eat because even though I don’t feel nauseous as a general rule - the thought of food makes me gag, heave or throw up. Every so often I’ll be like a crazy hungry monster but it’s rare and I get full after a tiny amount.
Currently lost nearly 3 stone in weight and it’s just speeding up now. Luckily I was overweight to begin with, is it possible this is my body just trying to correct itself? I’m taking vitamins, I’m just concerned I could be harming baby but I can’t bring myself to eat enough

I spoke to the midwife about this yesterday. Im 7 weeks and haven't actually lost any weight, but I can't eat. I'm not sick, but the thought of food makes me gag and when I do force myself to eat I'm full within a few mouthfuls and feel so sick I have to lie down. Her view was that as long as I am feeling well and am getting lots and lots of fluid in she wasn't that worried.

Having said that though, I'm in the first trimester, I think now your past 12 weeks what you eat is more important. I would def be calling the midwife, if only for reassurance.

Lots of women lose weight and no harm caused. If you're taking supplements and keeping up with fluids it should be fine. Are you getting enough water? I lost about 10kg in first / second trimester through hyperemesis. Lots of women lose more. Speak to your midwife about it though
