I'd go with the ultrasound. I've read that some women actually lose
weight their first trimester. I'd ask this though: do you eat normally
as in how you ate before you got pregnant? I'm just curious...I'm 7
weeks pregnant and would l ove to lose instead of gain >=)
This is a reassuring thought though...A woman's body is made to
successful support a healthy pregnancy in time of famine.
