I am concerned as I gained 11lbs in last month..and my doc asked me to keep check on my weight gain as 11lbs in one month is a bit much then required..now again I have gained 6.6lbs in just 18 days...I am not eating any fatty or fast food at all...I dont know what should I do to keep my weight maintained...I am not concerned about my weight gain as long as it does not have any bad effect on my baby...

I think that is just about perfect! They say you should gain 25-35lbs by the end if your pregnancy

I've gained 10lbs and I'm only 15weeks. At my last appt, I was almost 13 weeks I had gained 9lbs. I thought it was too much too soon, but my doctor wasn't concerned. My goal was to gain 25lbs my whole pregnancy, but I'm thinking it might be more than that. With my daughter I gained almost 30lbs.

As long as your doctor isn't concerned,  you shouldn't be either! they'll let you know if you're gaining too much or too little.
