Weight gain normal?!

Question

In the beginning of my pregnancy I couldn’t gain any weight I lost 5 pounds actually! At my 21 week appointment they said I gained 4 pounds of the 5 I lost so I was 162lbs! I am now 23weeks and 2 days just weighed myself and I’m 170lbs!! Is this normal I am literally shocked in 2 weeks I gained 8 pounds😬 has this happened to anyone else just all the sudden gaining a bunch of weight😭 should I be concerned?!

Answer

I put on 15 pounds in my second trimester alone and my doctor told me i needed to cool it on the halloween candy that i admitted to indulging on.  I didn't let myself ever feel deprived of anything and went on to gain a grand total of 28 pounds. 
I think the second trimester can sneak up on some people and thats ok. Baby is growing fast. You won't have quite the room for an appetite in the 3rd trimester so weight gain should slow a bit.
