  I had gained 7 pounds at my last appointment and it freaked me out, but my doctor wasn't concerned. You shouldn't try to lose weight while pregnant, just make sure you're eating healthy and getting some exercise and you'll be fine!

  Yeah, don't try to lose the weight, but don't freak out about it either. I was looking over my old records from my previous pregnancy, and I was pretty moderate about weight gain all along except for one month where I gained 11 pounds! (I think that's when I really started "showing" You were probably just hungrier than normal or something. Watch yourself for the next few months and if you keep gaining that much weight you might have to consciously set some limits for yourself.

  I was THRILLED that I gained 7 pounds in 4 weeks but that's because I lost so much from being sick.  If your dr isn't concerned then there's not much reason for you to be either.  With DS1, I gained a total of 37 lbs (I lost 11 at first and then gained that back plus another 26) and I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight within three weeks.  I wore pre-pregnancy clothes home from the hospital (though I was uncomfortable- I hadn't realized that I'd go home weighing more than I did when I was admitted from being pumped so full of crap through an IV)
