I started gaining weight at 14 to 15 weeks. Before that, I had gained 0 lbs on the scale, but my hips and body shape were definitely changing.

I've gained steadily ever since and now up 16lbs at 27w. My starting BMI was 20.5

It's the highest number I've ever seen on the scale in my life, but my family and coworkers have all said that it doesn't look like I've gained weight in my body beyond my belly.

If you're hungry or really exhausted, your body might need more calories. It's my understanding the baby will take what they need, so you need to take care of yourself. If you're feeling fine and your doctor isn't concerned, then everything is probably good! Each pregnancy is uniqur and everyone's body handles the hormones, bloating, hydration, swelling, and physical activity differently. I wouldn't compare yourself to others too much!
