18 weeks and weight gain

Allison

I know you’re going to gain weight with pregnancy, but y’all I am STRESSING. I read all the things about what “overweight” and “obese” women should gain their entire pregnancy and I just stress. I’m 18 weeks and 1 day and have gained 3 lbs the entire pregnancy. I’m already a big girl, obviously, but I’m trying everything to gain as little as possible.. I don’t wanna gain more than 10lbs the entire pregnancy. I’m just stressing. Is 3lbs a normal weight gain at 18 weeks??
