Is anyone starting to show/gaining weight?

I know it is a little early for some, but I was just wondering how everyone was doing and if anyone was starting to show or has gained weight (that is if you don't care to share).   I am 11 weeks today and I haven't gained any weight (my weight has always fluctuated 2-3 pounds and it still is), but I am bloated at times (not technically showing).  How about everyone else?

I'm just starting week 11 and I actually lost 2 lbs since my first check-up last month. I'm eating more smartly and exercise every day which probably contributed to the weight loss. I'm not showing either. I 'm not worried about weight gain so much as about proper nutrition. In terms of showing, it probably varies from woman to woman, based on physical conditioning of the belly muscles and whether it's the first or subsequent pregnancy.

I don't know if I'm showing or just getting chubby! LOL I can still wear most of my jeans but my belly pooches out over them a little when I sit down. I look farther along than I should but I don't really look pregnant! (if that makes any sense) I'm glad I'm not the only one showing. I'm 11wks today. DH can't keep his hands off me! He is loving the extra squish! LOL He thinks I'm hot pregnant...which is a good sign. I just hope he still feels like that in the 6+ months to come! I think I just feel that I'm showing too much for being only 11wks. I'm 5'9' and I was hoping being tall would be a slight advantage...but I guess not.

I've gained about 5 lbs so far (11 weeks tomorrow) and I am definitely showing- as of last week I officially can't button a single pair of my pants. :D   I'm surprised I'm showing so quickly since this is my first and I'm of an average build (5'6, 125-130lbs)

Glad to hear all is well with you all.  To be a little more clear my weight typically fluctuated prior to pregnancy between 153-157.  I weighed my self this morning and I weighed 156.  So technically no weight gain yet.  I haven't been too sick - just every now and then.  My fingers get swollen too!   Sometimes I can't wear my wedding rings either.

I'm 12 weeks now. At the 10th week visit, I've gained 6 pounds. Now think still more.
I already had belly, so now I definitely started showing. Can't imagine my weight gain when I've a baby. lol.

I am 12 weeks and I have gained 7 lbs.  I am definitely retaining water, I am so swollen.  I cant even wear my wedding rings anymore.  And my boobs have went from 36B to busting out of a 36C.  I haven't tried on a D bra yet.  But that is a very soon option.  My husband is in heaven.  I have to keep reminding him to not touch.  THEY HURT!!  I have started to wear the stretchy top maternity pants, just for the simple fact that my lower stomach is so sensitive.  If my pants are tight when I sit down, then my stomach will start to cramp really bad.  It is horrible.  My biggest fear is that I am going to be like my mom.  She gained a total of 47 lbs. with both my brother and I.  I am trying everything I can to keep the weight off.

I am 13 weeks and have not gained any weight....but the first few weeks I could not eat very much due to the morning, I mean ALL DAY sickness!!!  I have always had a lower belly pooch....I joke that I am like a kangaroo and had my little pouch ready for years!  HA!  Actually, my lower belly has sort of gotten a bit harder...not as squishy as regular ol' fat!  And my waist is slowly disappearing.

Im 12 weeks and i gained 5 pounds. Im not showing though.  Its my boobs & i am retaining lots of water. I went from a 34D to 34DD. Im only 5'1 and pretty small but always had the boobs but now its horrible. Cant imagine having them getting any bigger. So not showing just boobs and a little bigger butt.Still able to get into 5 & size 7 pants. Has any of your boobs ladies gotten that big that quick????

I started showing pretty quickly-I'm not sure if it was from the meds I was on causing bloat, or because I'm thin so I started showing sooner.  I'm 13 weeks, and I've gained 4 lbs, which I understand is on schedule for the first trimester.
