Just be glad yu aren't gaining too quick!  I regret wanting to gain weight cause its definitely not packing on the way I thought it would, be happy with yer body and yer weight! Yu will get yer bump soon enough:)

I have 2 kids I barely gained more than 7lbs the whole time. I was 104 with my son. Perfectly healthy because that is just how metabolism works. As long as you eat healthy and your appetite is good you are good unless your doctor tells you otherwise. I am pregnant now and have already gained 10 lbs and I am only 6 wks preg. However you can't tell I gained that much cause I have nothing to show for it. Depends on your body hon

No one can tell you that but its very common to get a good sized appetite in the second trimester. I didn't gain much weight til about 20 weeks.
