weight gain... can you answer?

hey there,
i really dont think i am pregnant, but because of my typical paranoid self i decided to post anyway. I wanted to know where you would first gain weight if pregnant?
I am a personal trainer, so i am in good shape, and eat well. however, in the last week or so i have gained a few pounds all in my stomach and "love handle" area. its a little strange to look at because sitting here at the computer i have a very noticeable "pooch" pushing its way forward... basically i just wanted to know how high up you can gain weight when first pregnant, and how you can tell if its just weight. my guess is i am still having hormone issues and just gaining random weight... but on the off chance last months two throw ups were more than that... i thought i would check.
just so you know, i am gaining the weight right below my bellybutton...
any answers would be great!

They say that you usually only gain about 5 pounds in your first trimester. I don't think you would gain the weight that fast if you haven't even had your +hpt yet. It could be either stress or hormonal weight.

I gained mine in my pouch and above my belly button. It starts filling out.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
