4 month baby bump-or gaining too much?

Ignore the mismatching pjs- I was just too tired to coordinate haha.
So... I thought I was totally okay with all these wacky changes to my body, feeling normal. I didn't think that my diet has changed a whole lot. At my 13 week follow up I had gained 8-10lbs instead of the 2-4 my doctor recommended and they warned me I'm gaining too much weight and will risk diabetes. So I started to feel really concerned and self conscious. Then today... I'm 16 weeks... my friends mom asked to see my bump and said, wow you're already so big.. you're going to be huge!! I know everyone develops differently but I don't think I'm THAT huge or out of the ordinary. Has anyone else experienced this?! I don't want to become too concerned because I've struggled with bulimia in the past for 10 years and don't want to risk falling into those patterns, but I also don't want to be gaining too much weight and risk the baby's health.
