It is different for everyone. Metabolics and genetics I tell you.
Some people get thinner right away, others gain quickly.

I gained about 10 - 15 lbs in the first 3 weeks. My best friend had done the same thing in all 3 of her pregnancies. My mother however gained nothing on her own body in three pregnancies, all her weight was within the uterus.
The 15lbs does not include the daily water retention fluctuation.
I however needed to gain that weight because I lost it again in the first trimester due to being so sick. Now I'm 14 weeks and my net gain is 6 lbs.

You can gain weight as soon as you get prego... you should only gain 10-15 lbs at the most in the beginiing but it is usually due to hormones causeing you to retain water, and keep more fat. I wouldnt worry if you gain less than 6 lbs a month untill your 7 months... then you should gain 6 or more lbs, untill you hit 9 months. Just watch your salt, and you should be fine.

Actually it is normal to lose some weight at first, especially if you have morning sickness, or like me you just lose your appetite. You should start gaining around the beginning of the second trimester.

I think it depends upon the person. I actually lost 10lbs in the beginning of my pregnancy and then it took 6 months for me to gain that along with 18lbs.

Normally only about a pound a month for the first couple of months..That is if your not to sick...If you have a problem keeping food down then you might lose a few pounds...

Actually you'll lose it then around 3-4mths thats when you need to start planning on gaining.. but everyone is different
Good Luck!
