Gained 6lbs in 2 wks.

Is that fast? I'm only 19wks tomorrow, and I don't remember the rate I gained with my son, but I'm so hard on myself for weight gain. I know there is no avoiding it but what is the right way to gain weight, like a pound a week or what? My baby doesn't even weigh a pound yet so I don't want to be gaining fast for no reason.

It's so stressful! Gain so fast without even noticing. I know weight should be the last of my worries but I don't like being fat! Lol I remember with my son I gained like 20lbs in one month. I was sad,lol. And my eating schedule is all types of crazy!

I think it is fine. Over a 2 week period I gained 8 lbs and over the next 2 week period I gained half a pound. I'm 33 weeks and have gained 25 lbs in all so just because you have a sudden weight gain doesn't mean you will gain excessively necessarily.
