I gained weight pretty much immediately. I always get a little bloated due to water retention when I get my period so I usually know within a week if I'm pregnant because I get bloated and the period never comes!
Because of this water retention I don't fit into my clothes as soon as 6 weeks. For both my pregnancies I put on 22kgs.
The first pregnancy took me 2 years to lose all the weight (10kg in the first 5 months and 12kgs in the last 18 months)
Baby number two however I lost 9 kg in the first 5 weeks and have lost 14kg all up now and it's been 9 weeks.
If you're worried about weight don't stress too much. Everyone is different. i have a friend who doesn't gain weight until she's about 6 months pregnant and then 2 weeks after having the baby you couldn't tell she was ever pregnant!
Even if it seems like it will never happen if you eat right and do some mild exercise you will regain your pre baby body weight.

I had bad morning sickness for the first few months so i didn't gain weight. At my last appointment (16 weeks) I was shocked to see I had gained a stone! The midwife just laughed and said everyones scales are different. lol

I'm almost 5 months pregnant and haven't gained any weight. In fact, I'm three pounds under my prepregnacy weight. My doctor isn't worried though.

I was about 8 weeks. I eat small meals and feel stuffed. But I have to eat often or I get shaky and week and nauseous. I'm 12 weeks now and the pants are all getting too tight. Not to mention I've just about grown out of all my shirts because of my grossly swelling breasts.

Because I had hyperemesis gravida I didn't gain weight until my last trimester. However, this was the extremem and it will vary for every woman.
