I lost weight at first (I had all day sickness thru the first 4 months), I am 21 weeks and just gain 4 pounds (I look like I have gained 20) but I have only gained 4! It really depends on your body.
I also started to show at 3-4 months but had not gained one pound. It weird how the body works!
Every one is totally different!!

I gained weight all along at a fairly consistent rate.
My starting weight was 115 lbs.
I am now 37.5 weeks and my total weight gain is 27 lbs. thus far.
But in reality, those are all just numbers. Your body will do what it needs to do for the baby and the scale doesn't have a lot of purpose in pregnancy! Best of Luck!

it varies from women to women. I started gaining when i was about 14 or 15 weeks but my step mom started gaining at 4 weeks. My total weight was 45 pounds only because at then end i gained almost 10 pounds in my last 2 months and i didn't change anything about my eating ways. ( i was also underweight). My step mom on the other end only gain 30 pounds mostly at the beginning of her pregnancy. My advice don't worry about your weight while your pregnant just take care of yourself and enjoy it while it lasts!

It depends. If you don't have morning sickness in the beginning (like me) then you start gaining weight almost immediately because your appetite just skyrockets. If you do have morning sickness then you start gaining weight at the end of the first trimester -- or right around when the morning sickness eases up.

I'm in the same week as you right now and I have a feeling I've ALREADY gained weight but I haven't been to my first doctor's appointment yet to know for sure. I have to eat every couple hours just to keep me from feeling nausious (but I"ve yet to throw up which I'm happy about). Good luck in your pregnancy =)

well im 39 weeks now and i didn't start gaining weight until a few month. some people but the weight on strait away, other people it takes a while. just depends on your body and the baby really. dont worry tho you dont put as much weight on as people think when they have the bump. it all goes after the birth so dont worry

I experienced it in the 2nd trimester when the cravings really started. It's different for all women. I spent my first trimester so nauseated and barely able to keep anything down, so I lost a little weight which is very normal.

im 18 weeks and havnt really changed in my weight.
my boobs have grown and i might have lost some tummy fat (just cuz of less appitite and less water intake).
i heard though its common to lose weight early in pregnancy cuz of morning sickness.
