I never gained an ounce until week 15-16 then it was a slow gradual weight gain. If your dr isn't concerned that you shouldn't be either :) congrats!

yes you should be fine! i am almost 12 weeks and i have lost about 15 pounds or so due to the nausea in my early weeks, but that has subsided so im sure u should be fine, as long as the baby is alright, u should be happy about that lol

Yup you sound fine. I lost 16 pounds so far and have yet to gain it back and I am 17 weeks. No worries. The baby is getting what s/he needs and like Clysta said, you will start gaining sometime in the 2nd trimester and definitely in the third.

You're still in early pregnant. Almost all weight gain doesn't happen until the second and third trimester when there is weight from baby, fluid, extra blood etc. You sound fine.
