It could be due to water retention, constipation (if you have it now). I gained around 6-7kg during my first trimester, though online articles and calculators said it should be around 0.5-1.5kg 🫢 . I felt and looked bloated during that time, so this could have led to more weight gain. Now I’m in my 2nd trimester (week 21) and my weight gain slowed down (gained 1.5kg from start of 2nd trimester, week 14), but online articles said I’m supposed to gain more more weight during this trimester🤷🏻‍♀️. However baby is growing well, his measurements are within the healthy range - so this is more important. In summary, as long as you are healthy and baby is growing well and all his/her measurements are within the normal growth range, that’s all that matters ☺️
