Any overweight moms to be?

Options
Hi, I'm 17wks along now with my 1st. My BMI was 32 to start with so my weight gain target from OB for the entire pregnancy is just 14lbs. I've gain 7 already ☹️☹️
Freaking out a bit now and during an appointment last week doc sorta warned me to watch it better.. anyone else going through a similar situation? Any experience, tips and thoughts are welcome !

    hey I was 33 BMI when I got pregnant 20 weeks ago. Ive been making an effort to stick to a number of calories each day- ensuring I get my nutrients in but Im not watching macros so much. I think the trick is is not to go too far over your calories, but dont be restrictive either. So far a 3lb gain and thats just come in the past 2 weeks.

    My pre-pregnancy BMI was 35. I’m currently 24 week and up 6 lbs. :)
