I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my first. I am 5" 3', active and was 102 lbs...I'm at 112 now. (Is that normal weight gain?)
But my real question is when did you guys start to show. When I let it all hang out, you can tell that I'm in the first stages of pregnancy, but if I suck in, it just looks like i've gained a couple lbs around my waist line. 80% of my pants are hard to button, and I've read that you don't show as fast if its your first pregnancy.

    You are tiny and you'll most likely show early! 2 lbs in the first trimester is healthy weight gain..you don't need most of your extra weight until late in the 2nd or 3rd. I am a bigger girl..not huge by any means but definitely not a size 5. Lol. I could notice my own body changes earlier on but didn't "pop" until about 20 weeks with my son. With this one I'm 8 weeks and definitely feel like I'll be showing earlier this time.

    This is my first pregnancy and I didn't start really showing until about 20 weeks. I'm only 5"2' and was 120 lbs before i got pregnant.. Just be patient.. Won't be long :)

    Yeah I think my issue is a lot is bloating too because my stomach isn't as big when I first wake up in the morning but seems to get bigger as the day goes on haha
    Thanks for everyone's input by the way!

    Normal weight gain is 3-4 pounds in the first trimester, then about a pound a week after that (more if you were underweight pre-pregnancy and less if you were overweight). It may fluctuate here and there, but your total weight gain should be around 30 pounds or so. :)

    Here's something more specific based on your BMI :) http://www.babycenter.com/0_pregnancy-weight-gain-what-to-expect_1466.bc

    I'm 16 weeks, I've gained 7lbs, I'm still in that bloated look but its the biggest bloated I've ever had lol. Only time I think you can tell is when I have to pee, my lower stomach sticks out like there isn't enough room. Lol.
