weight gain

I am 18 weeks pregnant. I keep reading about women who have gained only few pounds. I have already gained 8. The weird thing is that i am still wearing all of my regular clothing. I know that we are not supposed to be worrying about the numbers of weight gain, but I cannot help but wonder how much I am going to have gained in a few months from now. Anyone else have these crazy worries?

Re: weight gain

I am 17 weeks and up 5 pounds. Ironically, I can't wear my regular clothes anymore. I see a big difference in my body but not on the scale. And I've actually not gained anything in about 3 weeks, but in that time I've "popped".

I do worry about the rest of the pregnancy, because I was overweight to start with. I've been trying very hard to make good choices.

There's nothing crazy about being concerned with weight during pregnancy, IMO. While you shouldn't diet, packing on too much is not good either.
