Rapid weight gain

Question

Hi.. I’m in my first trimester now but I’ve gained 3kg in 3 weeks! I don’t have MS, however I don’t binge eat etc, in fact I feel like I am eating lesser than pre-pregnancy. This is my baby #2 and at 10 weeks I am liking like how I was at week 20 with my #1.. does anybody know why? Does hormones affect weight?

The weight gain might slow down later - every baby and pregnancy is different. I’ve had some friends out on the weight really quickly during their pregnancy but lose it really quickly too postpartum. Just make sure that you eat everything in moderation and it’s nutritious for you both. Should be okay :)
