Second trimester

Hello. I am 26 wks 4 days. During my first trimester I lost some weight (5 lbs) but gained it all back plus an additional 4 lbs (at my last weigh-in about 3 wks. ago) I have gained so much weight the past few weeks (7 lbs - about 2 lbs. each week) despite the fact that I am controlling my diet carefully. It's not just around my belly (which has grown significantly) it's also around my face, hands, and feet. A lot of people have said that I just "ballooned" up.

I also felt some dizziness a few weeks ago w/c seemed to subside but lately my dizzy spells have come back and they are more frequent. I have constant headaches and just get very irritable at times.

I was thinking that maybe this is just a normal phase or "growing" pains, if you will. This is my 3rd pg in three years (1998, 2000, and now 2001). Is it just my body being "tired" (with two toddlers!) or is this something I should call my doc about? The weight gain is a bit much to me, but can this be considered normal weight gain? My next appt is not until April 10th.

Thank you! :-)
