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.
