I am a little worried about how much I'll gain as well. My doctor told me I shouldn't gain more then 20 pounds. I had gained like 6 pounds quickly then for some reason I lost all that I gained and then some. & i didn't have any morning sickness or anything. I'm hoping to keep my weight gain low. Good luck to you!

I was so conscious my whole pregnancy about gaining weight.  I went on 40 minute walks everyday.  I ended up gaining 16 pounds my whole pregnancy.  To me, that felt like so much.  A week after i had my daughter,  i was back to my pre pregnancy weight.  I wish i wouldn't have worried so much. ..it was easy to get the weight off by eating and exercising.  Just enjoy your pregnancy. ..it goes by so quick.
