Take a deep breath... most women dont start gaining weight until they are around 16 weeks. This is my second pregnancy, and i actually lost a few lbs. before 14 weeks, didnt gain any. She's probably just bloated where she is about to start her period. Its okay

weight gain is not always a sign of early pregnancy she should just go get an, at home test and be done with the guessing ,she will end up doing that anyway why wait?
If she is she needs to see a doctor so he can get her started on vitamins and the test that she will have to take during pregnancy this is not the time to be scared if she is pregnant she needs proper care for the baby, just get a test and be done with the guessing ,gaining weight is not the same for everybody not even for every pregnancy mine were all different so dont think about the weight gain you can gain weight in the beginning as well as any other time during the pregnancy everybody is different just like individually every pregnancy is different oh yeah I am a mother of three.

If she is worried about getting pregnant she should be tracking her periods a little more closely. www.cyclespage.com . Every woman is different. Most women will show signs of her period coming on even if she is pregnant. Go and get a test. Weight gain is a sign of pregnancy, but it is also a sign of her period getting ready to arrive. Go and get a test. Best of luck to ya.

Sometimes a girls period just comes and there is no sign that it is coming... I am not sure about the whole gaining wait thing, so I can't really say anything there. But her period really could be coming, and she just doesn't know it. That happens to me a lot. So don't completely freak out just yet. Here pretty soon go get a home pregnacy test... It could help...

I know I had a period when I was pregnant it was just lighter then usual then I noticed me breast were very tender and were real sore to the touch and I would feel upset or sad for no reason.Some women also feel sick to their stomach.I was already 6 months when I found out I was pregant and I had gained a couple pounds Good luck to the both of you

It could be either/or. Most women gain weight (water) right before their periods. If she's having sex she should really keep track of her periods and use protection. Go buy a pregnancy test and find out.

She wouldn't gain that much weight, that fast. If she is brand new pregnant, the fetus is just a speck -- not anywhere even near a pound. She could be gaining weight because she is retaining water since her period is coming. Relax.

she should keep track of her periods tell her to start writing it down every month it should be every 28 days on avarage but can vary a little bit and its normal to be late on occasions and if you dont want children you should be thinking of this now , birth control !! Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. get a pregnacy test right away ! but its to early for weight gain

Usually you don't start gaining weight till you're at least to the end of your second month, and it's only a few pounds at that.

If she has missed her period she needs to get a pregnancy test. It could also be the stress of thinking she is pregnant. Get the test it can't hurt. It will ease your mind.

Go to the store and buy a pregnancy test You can guess at it forever you will not know for sure unless you take a test They have them at dollar stores for cheap so there is no excuse. Good luck
