Weight gain question

I'm 11.5 weeks and I've only gained 1.5 lbs. BUT - I feel like I am getting a pouch and starting to show a little. How is that possible with only 1.5 lbs of weight gain?

It is possible to see a little punch with only 1.5lbs gained. If you are throwing up you may have lost and then gained some weight back plus 1.5lbs.

Do you feel bloated in anyway?

That is what i wonder - I wasn't throwing up, but I was feeling very ill and couldn't eat and I did lose about 2 lbs. So I guess I've actually gained about 3.5 lbs and that may be all baby weight. I love my little pouch - I want it to grow more!!

I'm 18 weeks and am starting to get a tummy but have only gained 4 lbs so far. I'm actually worried I'm not eating enough.

I only started gaining weight at 20 weeks. Before 20 weeks i lost 15 pounds from hyperemesis but my stomach was still growing...people could tell i was pg even though i lost the weight.

At almost weeks, I think it may be a little early to determine a baby belly. You probably are retaining water, and that's what's caused a pouch.

I'm just one week ahead of you, and I've gained 4 pounds, and feel like a truck! At 4lbs, I know that it's not the baby, because at this point it's only ounces in weight... so everything else is either water, or from constipation for me (sorry TMI)...
