Has anyone had any trouble with gaining too much weight? I’ve gained 11 lbs and I’m only 21wks along and my OB is concerned I’m gaining too much too fast :/ I eat healthy home-cooked foods, don’t go out to eat, and am trying to go on walks more.

Before I got pregnant, I would just “diet” by simply eating less but I’m afraid if I do that now, I’ll be depriving my baby 😞 Any tips on preventing too much weight gain and keeping up self-esteem? I feel like such a whale.
