Hi! I have recently found out I am around 7 weeks pregnant. I am starting off at a healthy weight and do not overeat etc, however I have gained 5lbs during this time, is this normal? Just a bit concerned as I have read 1 - 4lb gain is normal during first trimester but I am only on week 7 and have surpassed this!

Honestly that’s a little high but it could also just be bloat or some water retention. Have you tracked your weight over several days?

I always weigh myself in the same state (Morning before I eat or drink, after I go to the bathroom, wearing just underwear). If I weigh myself after breakfast the number is always weirdly different… like I didn’t just eat three pounds of oatmeal so why has the number changed that much?!?
