Q: Weight gain and pregnacy

I was just wondering when everyone started to gain weight in their pregnancy? I was sick a lot the first trimester and lost 13 lbs and I am almost 17 weeks now and still weigh the same. I can tell my pants are snugger under my belly button but thats it. I know there is nothing wrong but I just was wondering when to expect a change if any? Thanks everyone!

In my first pregnancy I didn't start gaining weight until at least 25 weeks. I never got very big & only gained about 20lbs for the whole pregnancy. This time round I've been gaining a pound or so every couple of weeks since about 15 weeks.

I'm 19 weeks now and at my last doctor appt on Thursday I had gained a whopping 5.5 pounds (mind you a couple of weeks ago it was 7 or 8 but it went down). I didn't gain any for awhile and I still dont look pregnant, although in the last week my uterus has felt very prominent and is just under my belly button like a round little ball.
