6 weeks give or take and already gaining weight

Hey mamas! Is it normal to gain weight right away? This is my first and I’m about 6 weeks and already gained 5lbs. I’m not eating any more than normal just yet so I was surprised to be gaining already. I’ve gained the 5 in the last two weeks. I’m super tall and slim/athletic and already noticing a little bump although I’m guessing it’s bloat this early? According to one of my apps, I shouldn’t be gaining anything yet so just curious if this is normal. My first appt is later this week eeeek so excited!

I was not expecting it so soon ha. I’m having a wedding photoshoot next week with my husband since we for married during Covid and never had formal photos and now I’m worried my dress won’t fit ha. It’s skin tight crepe and was altered in September before I knew I was pregnant. Didn’t think I’d have any bump or weight gain yet

Honestly in the beginning its hormones and bloat. You'll lose it in a few weeks and start gaining after lol

Could be water bloat. When pregnant we need to drink that much more water + the influx of hormones of course. We don't actually start forming a bump till around that 14ish week mark so I've heard.
Best of luck!!

I look a couple months pregnant and I am 6 weeks pregnant lol 😂 the bloating is crazy and uncomfortable! I had to buy a pair of pregnancy high waist leggings to deal with the pain other pants and leggings were causing
