weight gain issues

Hi everyone. This is my first post and might be a silly question but here goes. In the last year before I got pregnant I lost 95 pounds. After having my second child I topped out at 250 pounds.  I finally had enough and got down to 155. Then I found out I am pregnant with my third child. I am now 17.5 weeks and so far have gained 12 to 13 pounds. I am having. A hard time dealing with how fast the numbers are rising. I don't want to end up in the same situation as before with 100 pounds to lose. I feel like I am gaining weight way to fast. Can some of you share your gains by this time with me? And what is an appropriate gain for 17.5. Weeks? This is my third pregnancy so I am not new to all of this. I guess the reason its different this time is because for the last year I have watched the numbers drop and now they are soaring up. Lol am I being silly? Thanks for listening to my silly issue. :)

I can't say anything about weight! Lol with my first I was on bedrest for most of my pregnancy and gained 80bs.  My second was in bedrest for the last 3months and gained 60lbs.  My third I gained 45lbs.  Each time I lost all of my weight within 4-6 months after.  I don't think u r gaining too much. As long as ur dr is fine with it I wouldn't worry about it.  Congrats and good luck .
