I'm 25 + 5 and I gain in spurts. Initially I gained nearly 10...then dropped 5 between 13-18 weeks. As of June 13th I had gained a total of 12lbs and my doctor said to expect another big jump here soon. I eat healthy & get in gym time 2-3 days a week. As long as you eat healthy options mixed with the occasional craving your body will grow as it needs. Stressing about your weight when prego isn't worthit. Enjoy this time!

I had the same problem.  I didn't gain any weight then at 20 ish weeks I gained like 10 pounds then another 5 the next month and now im up 23 pounds at 29 weeks but my midwife isn't too concerned since I didn't gain any then gained that much but then lost a pound in 2 weeks she just said to make sure I'm eating right and not too much of the wrong things.  Plus all my tests came back great and my baby girl is measuring long so is say you should be fine. But if you're really concerned ask your dr about why you would've gained that much so quick =) good luck!
