weight gain

Brandi
So I'm going through my first pregnancy. Almost done my first trimester and I've already gained 8 pounds. I'm concerned because all the article I have read say that an average amount is roughly 5 pounds in the first 3 months. What's everyone else experiencing? I do not feel like I eat worse then I did before or exercise less but I am eating more. For example breakfast before I never ate breakfast and now I do everyday I don't eat a lot of junk and have cut pop and caffeine even my favoured iced caps 😞
Any comments are welcome. Thank you ladies.
