  It's hard to deal with for sure. I was heavy a hlfew years ago and lost alot of weight. I was 124.5 lbs when I got married in October. When I got pregnant in March, I was 133. I weighed in at 18 weeks at nearly 146. That is more than 20 lbs in less than a year and i am bearly 5'3. They say only to gain 5 lbs.... please. With all the carbs I eat now (didnt before) I know this is mostly water weight. But there is no way to loose it. Plus I couldnt do anything but eat and sleep in first trimeater. It's hard when I worked so hard to loose the weight to have it put on and out of my control. Just know you are not alone. The struggle is real. And it won't last forever. The weight isn't put on over night and it won't come off over night. But once the baby is born, you will be the one back in control of your body. And if your doc is worried they will tell you!

  I was up 22 pounds at 22 weeks too.  I just had my 24 week appointment and haven't gained any in the last 2 weeks.  My doctor just told me that tons of women gain 8-10 lbs. in that 20-24 week range.  I was small to begin with, so she is not worried about mine.  I think that it depends a lot on how big you were to begin with.  But mainly as long as you are eating reasonably and walking, don't worry...you are doing what you can.
