Already seeing seeing a slight belly at 5 weeks

Well...I think it doesn't do any harm to have McD meal once every now and then. I believe you generally eat well and exercise regularly, your baby should be fine.
I am actually more concerned on the artifical chemicals we take in every day! I am getting very cautious nowadays. I read everything before I eat!
BTW, I am on 9 weeks and I haven't gained any weight. I seem to be sick once other day!

Here are the current US weight-gain guidelines (from Iffath Hoskins, MD, Chair of Ob-Gynat Lutheran Medical in NYC):
overweight women should gain 15 to 25 pounds
normal weight women should gain 25 to 35 pounds
underweight women should gain 28 to 40 pounds
(Men shouldn't gain anything, but it happens....)
There is currently a debate about the gains for overweight women because of the obesity situation in the US
And I thought this was interesting:
the fetus will weigh 7 to 7.5 pounds (okay, our baby was over 8)
the placenta will weigh 3.5 to 5 pounds
amniotic fluid will weigh 2 or 3 pounds
retained water will weigh 5 to 7 pounds
when the baby is born, the mom is usually left with about 1/4 of the weight gain
overweight women should gain 15 to 25 pounds
normal weight women should gain 25 to 35 pounds
underweight women should gain 28 to 40 pounds

Don't you people sleep? I can't be sure of my math, but 12 hours ahead of Atlanta would seem to make it about 12:30 am in HK.
Carang--Revealing my wife's weight on the web would be a mistake. But
she gained about 35 pounds while pregnant, our baby is 10 weeks old and she has dropped almost all of it. Keep in mind she had stopped the pilates but was still doing step aerobics and yoga (both modified for pregnancy), 4 days before labor and has been back at all 3 for a few weeks now. I think the exercise helped her put on healthy weight, helped keep the baby heallthy and eased delivery; now it is helping her drop the unwanted pounds.

I am showin a bit early as well
I am five weeks..... and I am showing a little as well.... I really think it might be a combination of bloating and water weight for me... but I think it is different for every woman. In my first pregnancy I have to add... I did eat healthy most of the time, but you know what I did endulge myself every so often, we deserve it I believe.... men don't have to go through half what we do we need to pamper ourselves in some ways.... just thought I would throw that in there.
