I know this has been posted before, but I'm 20 weeks and have gained 20 pounds. Doc isn't worried because I was a normal weight to start and said some people just gain weight faster than others.
I've put on 30 as of my 25 week appointment. 15 of those were in the last month. Dr. isn't worried either, though; says the extra gains this last month were probably because my m/s finally stopped and I should even out for the remainder of my pregnancy. I put on 50+lbs with DD (and she was born at 35 weeks), so I expect to put on a lot again.
This happened to a friend of mine. She is about 5'2" so she was concerned about her weight gain, but her doctor was ok with it considering her starting weight was in the normal range for her height.
With baby #1 I gained weight quickly at first and then from mid-20 weeks to mid-30 weeks my weight gain slowed alot! I didn't change much, my body was just doing what it needed to do, so you may gain more now and less later, it doesn't mean you'll be huge by the end! :-)
