I didn't gain a pound until 19 weeks. My doctor asn't concerned at all b/c I was measuring right on target.

Oh my goodness--I am so jealous!!! I'm too embarrassed to even type how much weight I gained by the end of my first trimester!!! I'm hoping that since my cravings (all unhealthy btw) have somewhat subsided this trimester (I'm 17 weeks) it'll even out!! But according to what I've read you all seem to be right on track as far as weight gain!

Gaining 2 pounds sounds fine to me, assuming you weren't very underweight to begin with. I could barely eat during the first trimester and lost 5 pounds. My doctor wasn't worried at all, but perhaps that is because I had some to lose...

I gained 8 and my doctor said it was fine for my size. Everyone is different but i read normally you are only supposed to gain between 2-4 lbs in your first trimester. That's why i worried. You are doing great, i wish i only gained 2. Lucky you.
