Rapid weight gain

Kate • Baby #1 loading... 🤗

I barely gained any weight in my first trimester and then I hit 14 weeks and bam, I’ve gained over 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I’m 15 and a half weeks now and I’ve gained 8 lbs so far. I was already overweight when I got pregnant so I’m worried about losing control of weight gain and possibly complications because of it. Any advice on getting this (safely) under control?
