Weight gain/loss

I lost 12 pound this first three months,went from 262 to 250 but now I'm 6months pregnant and I've gained back 7 of the 12 I lost... Is this too much!? How do I not gain so much weight!?! I really don't need the extra weight :( I've been watching what I eat, but sometimes the cravings are strong! My family and bd always get on me if I eat fries or something sweet, but I can't control what I want to eat :/

OK. Thanks ladies this makes me feel a little better. I'm just not trying to gain too Much weight. My doc didn't have any concerns with it, well didn't mention it to me at my appt the other day, so I guess its okay

I also lost weight in the beginning im 6 months and starting to gain I gained 2 pounds so far and I'm not worried. My doctor isnt either. Unless your doctor says something don't worry I understand it ***** gaining weight. I was on the path to losing weight when I got pregnant this time.

The weight your gaining is more likely baby then you. And you will probably loose it after the baby is born. I eat like crazy and barely gain weight.. its just the baby. Im overweight but i understand that gaining is still gonna happen even if i have enough for me and baby already! Eat (for the most part)  what you want..

I was 215 when I started and over almost a 2 month period I lost 16 lbs.. I am now 199 and almost 4 months ... This is my 4th baby so I was worried I would weigh more than my last baby. I am losing and don't know why... my goal before I got pregnant was to get down to 150-175... that didn't happen I got pregnant unexpected and I just said I am going to eat healthy and eat the portion size.. I don't want to over eat and gain it all back... I want to stay the same but who knows if that will last..
