Yes: In the first trimester, 2-4 pounds is the average weight gain in a person starting at a normal weight. Most weight is gained later in pregnancy. You only need an additional 100-300 calories per day to support a pregnancy.

Yes: Because of the hormonal affects on the appetite - many women lose weight in the first trimester - they usually begin gaining by about 14 to 16 weeks.
