Gained 5kg at 11 weeks

Just feel so bad about myself seeing how much weight I’ve gained in just a couple of weeks, my face is significantly rounder, my arms have gotten bigger, my clothes no longer fit and I look like I’m 5 months pregnant when I’m barely 3 months. Worried I’ll gain too much in my pregnancy and have a difficult time losing weight, I also read that it’s commonly expected to only look pregnant after first trimester so I feel so out of place. #FTM

Hello! From my personal experience I gained around 1kg each week of my pregnancy, which is more than what we are supposed to gain. I’m now at 36 weeks and I have gained 25kg. So probably by 40 weeks I will gain 30kg in total. Just remember that weight gain is temporary but your baby will be forever. :)
