I'm the same as you. I'm 7+1 and have put on 7lbs so far. I definitely look 'chubby' and feel very bloated. My thighs look positively rippling! My friend suggested water retention also (she had it with both of her children). I didn't have it with my first but was physically sick then yet this time just 'feel sick' but haven't been - as yet anyway!
I'm off for an early scan tomorrow so will ask then.
I'm disappointed to be looking so big already as I'm off on hols in 3 months and wanted to look pregnant but not fat - ooooo, the vanity of it all
