Weight gain during first trimester

Iam 18weeks pregnant and gained like around 15 pounds so far . Is it very uncommon? Because my OB told me to watch my weight to avoid complications. How much weight have you gained since your pregnancy

Confused and sad

I’m 37 + 5 today and just came back from an ultrasound appointment at a different location for my obgyn and was told that my baby is only 5 pounds and 8 ounces and if they have talked to me at all about my babies weight and they have not. I’ve always asked every ultrasound appointment if everything looks good and if he looks healthy and on track and have always been told everything looks great and now I’m being told his weight is very low. I’m just so confused and sad and don’t know what’s going on anymore at this point. I’m never told anything every appointment and when I ask I’m always told everything is perfectly fine. This is my first pregnancy and I’ve been active and drink lots of water and i don’t smoke or drink or have before I got pregnant and take my vitamins but I will admit I’ve eaten a lot of fast food. Has anyone experienced the same?

Glucose Test

Glucose test was not my friend.. failed the one hour and projectile vomited all over myself an hour into the three hour test while getting my blood drawn.. 🥲 pretty sure some got on the nurse. So embarrassing. On the bright side, they have me checking my glucose 4 times a day for two weeks with a finger prick test. It’s honestly not bad at all. How was everyone else’s experience?

Pls Help

The thought of leaving my baby for 1–2 hours to get my hair done is honestly killing me. 😭 She's exclusively breastfed, so I'll make sure to pump and leave enough milk for her, and she'll be staying at my parent’s house.

It's nothing against my parents at all, I trust them. It's just the thought of leaving my baby that's making me feel so anxious. I'm worried she'll want me and I won't be there for her🥺

She's only 3 months old, and we've been together every single day since she was born. Mamas, how did you manage the first time you left your baby? Does it get easier? Is this separation anxiety, or is it just normal for a first time mum?

I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance. 🤍
