Im 10w2d have the same exact thing going on. I read in my book "the pregnancy bible" that a lot of women start to show right about now...but its because of your bowels being distended from the horomones not the baby...so its normal :)

It's ok. I've lost weight because of how I've been feeling and have only gained my original weight back. With my first I think I gained 8 pounds by this point though.

Its really early in your pregnancy to be gaining weight... lots of woman lose weight in the first trimester from nausea  and morning sickness, ect... expect to gain more weight into the second trimester but even more so into the third... think of how small everything inside you is still... if you are taking your vitamins, and eating a well balanced diet(as much as can be expected in the first trimester) then dont worry about your weight... its not about the extra calories at this stage its about the aditional vitamins... how much are you in the negative right now? some women never gain more than their previous weight just because they lose so much in that first trimester... also depending on your BMI makes a difference in how much your expected to gain(in the whole pregnancy)... the smaller you are the more you should gain, and the larger you are the less you should gain...

but anyway its far too early to worry about weight gain...with my first pregnancy by 13 weeks i had already lost 25 lbs from morning sickness and eventually it all came back
