5-7 weeks pg and losing weight due to stress

[hobbgoblin]

Is this a major problem? Will my baby be ok living off me or will the health of the baby suffer along with mine?

My lovely GP said that the baby is basically a parasite and will do fine even if the mother is really suffering. He told me this when I had bad morning sickness in one of my pregnancies.

My mum had gastroenteritis (sp?) when she was pregnant with me and nobody realised she was even pregnant until she was about 8 months! I am her 3rd baby too.

I hope the stress stops soon though.

I weighed less at my 16 week weigh-in than my 8 week weigh-in. Don't worry, baby will be fine and despite the stress (which I know well of during my pregnancy) you'll start to put on weight because your body takes over and you'll find yourself becoming increasingly hungry.
