Gaining weight fast & don't know what to do

I'm only 9 weeks with my 1st pregnancy and I've  noticed it's normal to gained 2-3 lbs but I  have gained somewhere around 8lbs. I believe I was around 100 lbs before getting pregnant but I've been so hungry lately and can't stop eating. I don't know if I should try to work out & lose the weight or try changing my eating habits. Help!

It could be a mixture of reasons you've gained 8lbs so far.. water weight, bloating, uterus, etc etc. I wouldn't be too concerned about it especially if you've gone to the doctors and they haven't mentioned it. If it was too excessive, they would say something but its always good to watch what you eat and make sure you're eating in small portions so you don't get indegestion or heartburn. After a meal, or before, go for a little walk, it'll keep your insides running while they are changing and getting smooshed lol :)
