Need more info: It's hard to advise you based on just this information. Are you having a lot of vomiting, or have you lost appetite? 16 pounds is a lot of weight to lose early in pregnancy and if this is due to excessive vomiting or lack of eating or drinking due to nausea, it could be of concern. You should seek prenatal care and if you cannot keep anything down you should go to the hospital right away.

Very concerning : You need to be eating a lot more and you need to make an extra appointment NOW with your OB
