Yes: First trimester nausea is very common, and most pregnant Moms do NOT gain weight during that time if the nausea is extensive. The developing fetus can live "off the fat of the land" (your fat and glucose stores) until you are able to eat more extensively in the 2nd trimester when the nausea should be gone.
