Is it normal to gain weight in face while pregnant?

I’m fairly petite and before getting pregnant I was slim and fit. I was pretty sick the first half of my pregnancy and actually lost weight, and didn’t even start showing as noticeably pregnant until I was like 7 months. I started putting on weight quicker then but mainly all of it was going to my belly, no where else.

However over the past month i feel like I’ve noticeably gained weight in my face and neck - is this related to being pregnant? I still try to eat healthy, but I eat a lot more potatoes/pasta/bread now as it’s a matter of what I can eat and keep down many days. Is it normal to gain weight in your face during pregnancy, and will it go away as my body heals and I go back to my normal diet??
