Too much weight gain too soon?

Hey everyone,

I am just looking to see where others are at, because some of my friends are making me feel terrible 😓...

I am 5'9". Pre-pregnancy, I was 130lbs. I am 16 weeks today, and have already gained 5 lbs. My doctor hasn't said anything about the weight gain, but a few of my friends have said things like, 'wow, I did gain anything until around 20 weeks.' I didn't even start to show until 22 week's etc, etc.

I'm starting to get a complex! I had pretty bad nausea the first trimester, but that stopped at 12 weeks, and it never made me physically ill. I actually gained 2lbs the first trimester. And I'm just starting to get a bump. I'm worried now I'm gaining too much, too fast 🙁-- trying to avoid terrible stretch marks, if at all possible, and not exceed a 25-30lb weight gain as per doctor recommendations.

Please tell me others have put on some pounds at this point and I'm not the only one!

** I'd just like to add I'm moderately active. I do a ton of walking, some light lifting, and some yoga. If I am gaining too much, what are your recommendations to help slow it down??
