Almost three months pregnant, is it normal to have lost over ten pounds?

Patient's question:

My wife is almost three months pregnant, but she can't eat anything. What should we do? Also, her weight has dropped by more than ten jin. Is this related to her and the baby's development?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, your partner is three months pregnant and has lost over ten pounds, mainly because she can't eat. This condition is primarily caused by morning sickness. Encourage her more, suggest she develop some hobbies, and prepare some delicious meals for her to eat. In case of necessity, intravenous treatment may be required. If the pregnant woman's nausea and vomiting symptoms are too severe, it may affect the development of the fetus, and in severe cases, pregnancy may need to be terminated. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus requires fewer nutrients, so it generally does not affect fetal development. Morning sickness usually improves naturally after three months. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the vaginal area, and have regular check-ups. If everything is normal, there is no need to worry.
