Well I was 117 prepregnancy weight with my first.. I gained 10-15 pounds by the time I was 3 months pregnant. So I think it's normal. Although in skinny I never the extra weight I weight 140 and I'm 5 Weeks pregnant.. I'm assuming I'll be huge before I know it :) lol

Depends on how much you've gained. Obviously every woman and pregnancy is different but during the first trimester mainly 1-10weeks (at least I was informed) I should only really gain 0-5lbs and most of it is water weight. I only gained 2 because of morning sickness and im 12weeks 2says but I still gained. And none of my pants fit whatsoever. I'm always telling my fiancé I'm fat but then I really look at myself and it's really all my stomach that's grown. My face looks thinner but my thighs are huge! I can never win. It's mainly hormones that's going to drive your mind insane- maybe take walks at the beginning of your day so you feel less .... Blah... For lack of a better word. Your belly will only get bigger cause of baby, so eventually you have to embrace it hun! Good luck and congratulations (:
