People put on weight differently, and pregnancy affects ALL women differently. My mom, who just had a baby at 46, didn't show at all for the first 5 or 6 months and then just gained a small belly in the last 3 months.
And as someone who's weight and breast size fluctuates cyclically, I think it's easy for someone to mistake pregnancy for a difficult menstrual period. Almost all the symptoms associated with pregnancy are also common with periods.
