I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained any....I actually lost 2lbs. This is my second child and I'm showing more now than with my son and at this point in the pregnancy with him I had gained 8-10lbs.  I never had morning sickness either. My Dr said he's not concerned. He said some people just don't gain right away and that the weight should slowly start to increase in the next few weeks.

As long as your baby is growing fine...it's all good. I have only gained 2.1kgs since being pregnant. I am 26 weeks! ;-) I have had two previous children and this is just how it goes for me. My first child was 10lb 3oz!!! I lost 10kgs that pregnancy. My doctor was concerned at first and kept me having regular growth scans but he was fine. 2nd was 8lb 8oz! And I lost 5kgs with that one. So don't stress everything will be as it will be. Some women pack on the pounds and some don't. It all comes down to how YOU carry your baby

I have only gained 4.5lbs over my prepregnancy weight, and I am 34 weeks. If your doctor isn't worried then you shouldn't worry. Ask your doctor what your weight goal is.

That's fine. I started gaining my weight about 4months. Dont let how much weight you gain stress you. I'm 38 weeks now, and have put on a total of 12 pounds. Just continue to eat good things that are good for you and baby.

They say 5-6 lbs the first trimester... and then a pound a week after that. Did you have morning sickness?? That may have played a roll in the small weight gain. Lastly, if your doctor isn't concerned,  you should be good to go!!
