Water weight, it will go away and then you'll get actual baby weight in a few more weeks. And the breast growth is normal, due to the rapid change in hormone levels in you boday.

Low sodium diets aren't recommended in pregnancy-they used to be, but now you're just supposed to use a reasonable amount. You're probably just bloated right now.

good nutrition is essential to a healthy pregnancy.

I wouldnt go on a low sodium diet, just eat healthy!
salt is a vital nutrient our body needs.

I had gained 10 pounds by my first appointment at 7 weeks.

A lot of people bloat and/or become constipated very early on in pregnancy -- I did and everyone was convinved that I had started to show (and didn't believe me when I blatantly told them I was simply...well...backed up, lol).

You also have to remember that weight fluctuates between 1 - 3 lbs on a constant basis, so its going to go back and forth on its own as it is.

And, as you mentioned that you've gone up in cup sizes, you can also factor in the weight your breasts are retaining right now.

I'm sure you're fine but if you feel concerned give your doc a call.

OT - but your userpic is what I go through every morning with my kitty!!

lmao! Same here! I just found it the other day and was like, "Oh my god! Yes!!" My cat is OBSESSED with us when we eat cereal -- he can't keep himself away. The ridiculous thing is that I've tried giving him a little bit of milk, just as a treat, and he didn't want anything to do with it -- he takes a couple tastes and then walks away; he's such a weirdo!!

Actually, once kittens are weaned, they can't properly digest milk. But yet, the minute my cat smells milk, he must do everything in his power to get his face in it!
