sounds like your weight before you were pregnant was on the low end for your height the average weight for someone who is 5'8 is about 150. so it could just be your body feels you need alittle extra to sustain your pregnancy.  your body knows what to do and it sounds like your doing all the right things. so if your dr isn't concerned i wouldnt be. the weight gain is just a guide line so if your feeling good and babies healthy i wouldnt worry.
