weight gain...starting to get worried :(
I'm 17w4d. I just started gaining weight over the past couple weeks and I'm up 4.8 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. I gained 47 lbs with my daughter, plus I had hypertension that caused me to swell really bad. I really don't want to gain like I did with her.
By 18 weeks, I had already gained 16 lbs with my daughter, so I think I'm doing ok...but, am I? How much weight gain is normal at this point? How much have you gained at this point? My doc never says anything about my weight.
I exercise every day for about 40 mins and try to eat as best I can. I try to limit sodium, eat high protein, plenty of fruits and veggies, and tons of water. Any other tips?

I'm trying so hard to make healthy choices (most of the time) and to make time for exercise every day. I guess I was just hoping to hold off on my weight gain until later in the second trimester. I did reach my goal of not gaining in the first trimester as I gained 12 lbs in the first trimester with my daughter. Maybe I'm being too paranoid
