It does not.: Women usually do not lose weight in early pregancy, and do not ggain that much weight because the fetus is small. Hcg does not causes weight loss.

It usually doesn't: Most women do not lose weight during early pregnancy. When they do, it is usually because of nausea and vomiting from the high estrogen levels, which is an indirect effect of high HCG levels.
