Anyone else gain a large amount of weight fast??

Question

I’m currently 18 weeks and I’ve gained almost 20 pounds already (I’m really short so it shows easy) I feel huge for being this far along but maybe I’m just worrying too much, I had a huge self image problem before i got pregnant and some days I won’t even walk past a mirror, some days are easier than others but just want to make sure I’m not gaining too much too fast!

Answer

You look perfect. Every pregnancy and mama is different. My first pregnancy I gained close to 60 pounds. This second one I lost weight at first and now am only 12 over my start weight at 33.5 weeks. Totally different!!! 
That seems healthy to me (regardless of what some chart might say, I hate those damn charts) 
You have to remember that your body is gaining not only baby weight but an entirely new organ, the placenta, all of the amniotic fluid, extra blood in your system, extra fat storage in your body to support the pregnancy and energy, as well as boobs starting to grow bigger. All of that changes and it’s different in every pregnancy and for every mama￼￼.

I gained most of my weight in my first trimester. Everything has evened out toward the end (I’m 36 weeks) and have been solidly gaining about a pound every 2 weeks since I started my 3rd trimester.
