That is normal. You will be gaining around 10 pounds (give or take a few pounds) your first trimester. I was concerned because I felt I was gaining a lot at first too, but my doctor assured me that it's good, because that means the baby is growing and being nourished! Don't worry, enjoy your pregnancy!!!

Being concerned is normal too, but just enjoy your pregnancy. You will have a lot of new experiences over the next few months, so try to relax. Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing!!!!!!!!!
