weight gain

I am 13 weeks today and I weighed myself this morning and since the first I found out I was pregnant until today I have gained 6.5 pounds.  I think that is kind of a lot.  I was fluctuating between 3-4 pounds and then it jumped to 6.5.  I guess it may go down a little by next week like it always has been, but I am not so sure.  Anybody got words of wisdom as to weight gain?

Every woman is different. They say the average is 3-5 pounds in the first trimester. I am going to be 13 weeks and have gained 2 pounds so far.   As long as you are not munching on just junk food I am sure you are just fine. ;)

10 weeks - gained 15 pouinds - so you are good lol.

Then again, a lot of the weight gain is water retention due from all the progesterone shots, etc.
