I wouldnt worry the doctor would tell you if you were gaining too much. I am 37 and 2 days and I have gained 12lbs everyone says im so small but the doc says i measure perfect, dont let anyone elses pregnancy worry you we are all different. If he tells you your fine I would continue to eat how you are!! Congrats and goodluck!

If your doctor said your weight gain is normal, then there is no reason to worry. Every pregnancy is different so no two people gain alike... You should never restrict your diet during pregnancy, just eat healthy foods and allow sweets on occasion.
