16 week weight gain

Hey guys just seeing if anyone has had the same experience as me! I’m 16 weeks and have gained 13lbs. My last appointment at 14 weeks I was about 11-12 lbs gained. My OB said I gained way too much weight in one month and was a little concerned, she was very nice about it. My last pregnancy I also gained weight quickly in the beginning and then it leveled out after 20 something weeks. I eat really healthy, limit carbs, watch my sugar (unless it’s fruit I have no control lol) so I was kind of shocked when she was concerned about my weight. Anyone else have a similar experience? It’s been kind of weighing on me and making pretty self conscious when it comes to eating.

I personally gained 50+ pounds with baby 1 and promptly lost 30 pounds immediately after delivery. I’m on track to gain a similar amount with this baby. I’m not a doctor but if you don’t have some other pregnancy complications that causes fast/a lot of weight gain I wouldn’t worry about it. Sometimes it can be a sign of gestational diabetes but if you don’t have that I wouldn’t really worry personally. Again, just an opinion. 

Also I’m understanding this as 13 lbs total gained and not 13 lbs in two weeks. If you’ve gained 13 in two weeks you might wanted to look into that a little more.
