Is it normal to gain a lot of weight in the first few weeks, I feel like my pants are to tight, I feel really unattractive, and just over all like my clothes don’t fit. I didn’t feel this way with my first pregnancy so I am just wondering if this was normal.

It can be very normal. Keep in mind that every pregnancy is different. Once you have had one baby, your body is more stretched out then it was prior to the first pregnancy. With each pregnancy your muscles become more lax. So, often times you will show earlier with each pregnancy, you may have more backaches, and discomforts, simply because your muscles aren't as tight as they once were. Also, its not uncommon to gain weight in different amounts at different times during the pregnancy. Some gain lots of weight in the beginning, slow down during the second tri, and then speed up again during the third. Some don't gain any and may lose during the first tri, pick up a lot during the second and slow down in the third, or gain nothing in first stay steady during second and speed up during the third. It just all differs. I was so concerned with my first child because I just wasn't gaining weight as fast as I thought I should be. With my second, I gained weight a lot faster. And it may just be the way you are showing, rather then actual weight gain. Unless your doctor shows concern over your weight gain, do not be concerned.
