Yeah this question probably won't go over well. Every person is going to be different and comparing weight is a dangerous road to go down. If you're concerned, talk to your doctor.
Nope. It's no ones business how much we have all either gained or lost. Everyone is different and unless my doctor is concerned, I'm not going to go around comparing myself to others.

Weight gain during pregnancy has a huge variation of normal. I know many women who put on 10-15 lbs in first tri, and some who put on 2-3. It really depends on the person their individual body, genetics, health ect
There would be a lot of different answers (if you got answers) from any group of women at any point in a 9-month period of time when we're not even pregnant. Many of us are more focused on keeping any food down at times and just hoping for our pregnancies to get off to a good start. Personally meaningless answers on suggested weight gain can be found by searching the bump site, Google, or any book on pregnancy, and obviously any relevant individualized weight recommendations would come from your doctor.
I weigh myself every day, as I've been doing so for months throughout my weight loss journey. It's still early for me (5w5d), but I haven't gained anything yet and don't plan to in my first trimester. I eat at maintenance and still exercise. My OB told me yesterday that maintaining your pre-preg weight or gaining a couple pounds were both fine.
I also eat at or below maintenance and exercise and still gain weight like crazy in all the trimesters. During my second pregnancy I was training for and completed a half marathon at 12 weeks, by which point I'd gained 12 lbs. Love what the early posters said about the range of normal.
