Rapid weight gain and Puffy face first tri

First time pregnancy and wanted to ask if anyone experienced the same? I’m in my first mth and I’ve already gained 3 kg in less than a week. Ive not eaten a lot but it seems like I’m having a lot of water retention and my face / eyes are really puffy / swollen to the point that I’m feeling discomfort and self conscious…. Any advise?

The discomforts and sacrifices that we mothers endure to have a child. It's quite common to have water retention when pregnant. I tried to contour my face more to make it look less puffy. Alternatively, do consult your gynae instead of GP if you're still worried.

could be variety of reasons... so best to check with gp if b4 6 wks

Go and get yourself checked 🙏🏻

I did go to the doctor but he mentioned it’s normal to swell this much at the start of pregnancy due to water retention :(
