Is this too much weight gain in 3 weeks?

Question

I’m obese and have been watching my weight gain. And last time I had a slightly high blood pressure. I know fast weight gain can be a sign of preeclampsia. So would this be a fast weight gain?

Answer

5 lbs in 3 weeks could be water retention.. it’s normal to fluctuate 5-10 lbs.. make sure your weighing yourself at the same time , in the morning when you wake up is best because you don’t have any fluids or food in you. I would definitely keep an eye on it, but I’m not sure if I would worry yet

Answer

A bit fast yes
Have you noticed any swelling?

Answer

My first I had preeclampsia too. This time I just really ate better than last time (not healthy, just better and less than before) I believed the myth of eating for two!! drank a bunch of water and walked. I would constantly gain 10 lbs n lose it. Then every trimester near the end of gained 15 lbs and that stayed.
