Plus size FTM worried about weight gain

Amy
Hi ladies! 
I'm a first time mom, currently 9w5d. I am about 5'8'' and 202 pounds starting weight. I have already gained 6 lbs and I'm not out of my first trimester. I feel like I can really see those pounds around my waist as well! I haven't had any sickness so I have had no trouble eating!!! I'm a little worried about my weight gain, because I read I should only gain between 2-5lbs in the first trimester. I searched the posts on here for plus size moms and found many of them had barely gained 10lbs and were over 20 weeks! 😞 I would love to hear how much weight some of you plus size moms have gained in your first trimester. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself but I have struggled with my weight a long time, and my job at the hospital has me on my feet all day and I'm terrified of gaining too much.
