So my belly is looking huge, my pants don't fit, but somehow my scale says I've only gained at most 3 pounds! It makes no sense! lol

I haven't gained, but that seems weird since I had to go out this weekend and buy shorts in a size bigger. Granted they are way too big but I am definitely between sizes at the moment. I figure it's the weight redistributing and all. Bring on the baby belly!

I have gained about 8 lbs already which is really puzzling me because there is not much that sounds good and 1/2 of it comes back up!  At this rate this will be a 40+ lb pregnancy gain and I was hoping to stay around 20-25 this time!

Sounds like were all staying around a good gain area
I gained 2lbs but have lost 3lbs the past week so from my startin weight I've lost 1lb. That is a-okay with me, I'm overweight so it won't hurt if I lose weight.

ugggghhhhhhh.... I don't even know what to think about this one.
The month prior to conceiving I had lost 10lbs. Now I am up 9lbs. I don't know if I quickly gained the weight I lost back, if I'm carrying a lot of water weight or what. It could also possibly be that half of that 10lbs I lost was water rentention and now it quickly came back which would put me up a few pounds instead. I don't know.
I got weighed on May 25th @ the docs w/clothes midmorning and I was up 4 pounds more than my morning weight at home (which was already up 4 pounds from my starting weight lol) So when I go on 6/25 I'll see what I'm up from last appt and start using that to measure true gain.
For two weeks I ate like a pig b/c I only ate what sounded good b/c everything else made me queasy and I had no energy so I slacked on my walking routine. Now real food sounds better again and I can eat fruit again so I am trying to be better about my choices and portions. One of my biggest fears is gaining too much w/this baby.
I only fit into one pair of prepregnancy jeans now and only b/c they were my "fat" pants before (size up from my normal size).

No weight gain yet, but my weight distribution is definitely changing.

It is probably alot of water retention and bloat. If I eat any kind of extra salt and don't drink water for just one day I swell and gain up about 5lbs!!! Gaining weight this pregnancy is one of my biggest fears too! Gained 50lbs with my first and DO NOT want or NEED to gain that much!

I get the same way and bet it's that too. If I eat fast food I usually am up 3-4lbs for a few days. I gained 48, 43 and 45lbs w/each kiddo. I'd really like to only gain 20-30 w/this one.

I am up right at 5lbs. This doesn't surprise me at all. I am eating a lot more food than I normally do just to try to outrun feeling sick. Plus I am not as active and going to bed earlier.
I had gained around 8 lbs at 20 weeks with my first 2 pregnancies. I tend to gain all my weight at the end.

I'm not sure, but I think I gained about 5lbs of water weight from bloating. And I've then lost about 4 of those 5 lbs. I'm already really overweight, so I'm hoping I can keep it reasonable like I did last time, I gained 13 lbs total (after losing 7lbs in the beginning).

My weight has stayed exactly the same so far. I haven't even grown out of my "skinny" jeans yet.

No gain yet and hoping to only gain 20lb at the most. With DS1, I gained 14lbs total with the first 1lb gain starting at 26 weeks. Would love to be able to do that again! LOL
