I'm 22w1d and I've gained 16 lbs at 20w. Haven't weighed myself the past 2 weeks cuz I know I've gained but I'm eating healthy as well. Prior to being pregnant I would be able to gain weight like crazy but lose it just as fast so I feel like I'm not as in control. My body is obtaining weight for the baby so I try to look at the bright side.
