Sudden Weight Gain

I know its not a massive thing to be worrying about in the grand scheme of things but I'm 12 weeks and just had a massive jump in my weight.
I weigh myself weekly, at the same time of day, wearing similar things etc and between last Friday and today I've put on exactly 1kg! In the previous 11 weeks I'd put on around 2kg in total so this is a massive jump in just a week.
I'm a bit worried now that I've done something wrong and need to be more careful with my diet. This week has been a mixture of eating healthy and unhealthy stuff the same as ever but I didn't think it had been particularly bad.
Did anyone else have a sudden jump like this?

1kg is 2lbs. That's not a huge jump. If you've put on 6lbs in the whole time and were a healthy weight to begin with, sounds normal

I read an article somewhere that on average... Put on 5lbs-6lbs in the first trimester and then a pound weekly after that... Not sure that would be the same for everyone as we're all different. I don't think 2lbs is a huge jump... Your body will have growth spurts too xx

Thanks for the support, I guess in terms of the whole picture and growth spurts it makes sense.
I think I was worried because its over double the 1lb a week!
