I am worried as I don't appear to have put on any weight in the first 13 weeks. Why?

Many women do not put on weight at this stage because the pregnancy uses the maternal reserves to thrive, and at this time the baby actually needs few calories to grow. Often because of nausea and morning sickness, women can even loose weight at this stage. Do not worry; true weight gain usually occurs in the latter 2/3rds of pregnancy.

I am 12 weeks pregnant and my doctor has noticed a heart murmur. Should I be concerned?
What can I do to help myself when I feel sick?
What's a trimester? Will anyone know I''m pregnant in the first trimester?
I am 7 weeks, and this is my first baby. I'm getting a lot of cramping pain (it feels like menstral cramps) but no blood or discharge. Is it safe to have sex?
Is it common to feel ''pressure'' and a bloated feeling in the first weeks of pregnancy?
I am almost 6 weeks pregnant. Is it normal to have vaginal discharge that makes my underwear wet, or could I be leaking amniotic fluid?
Is is possible that I am already "showing" at 10 weeks pregnant?
I am 10 weeks pregnant, and my heart seems to be pounding at an increased rate, is this normal?
I am 10 weeks pregnant and am paranoid that something has happened. Would I know if the baby had stopped growing?
