This is a question for your doctor. Step 1. Confirm you're pregnant. Tests can be purchased for $1 at your local dollar store.

I lost weight with my first child because I was overweight when I got pregnant but I was under a doctor's care and she suggested it. I agree with @pinuplove, find out if you're pregnant first. Then see a doctor. The most weight is generally gained in the last trimester.

You need to talk to your dr. Plenty of people continue to lose weight while pregnant but usually they are morbidly obese and have a lot lose. Seriously, talk to your doctor.

Yup, discussion with your doctor. In most cases people should be gaining weight when pregnant.

A lot of women lose weight during pregnancy because 1. They can't eat because of morning sickness, and 2. They begin to eat a better diet for the sake of the baby.
I have 5 kids, and I can tell you any sane medical doctor is going to tell a pregnant woman to not try to lose weight while pregnant. In fact you'll have weight gain goals for each trimester. If you don't meet them that's fine, but there's a way of telling what is normal. Also, if you go over it - who cares. The doctor certainly won't.
If there is any time in your life to not worry about something like this, its now. Watch what you eat but don't purposely lose weight. You're not going to be able to maintain a weight all through your pregnancy and not eating enough can hinder a baby's growth.
Just don't worry about it. Eat healthy. Enjoy your pregnancy. Diet when you've had the baby.
