I threw up so much the first 14 weeks that I only gained about 3lbs but its getting cold & I haven't been moving around or puking near as much so I'm gonna guess that will be bumped up by 10 at the next appointment in a couple weeks...I feel huge at the end of the day.

Yes I feel the same. I am naturally quite thin, and I didn't really pay attention to my weight with my first 3yrs ago, but I'm 21wks and have gained 14.6lb to date. I know most weight gained is supposed to be 20wks onwards so this worries me!lol. Maybe it will slow down...I plan on mentioning it to my midwife though in a couple of weeks. I'm in the UK and they don't monitor weight here (usually) unless you are under 100lb or over 200lb at your booking appointment. So unless o mention it, its unlikely to be noticed. To answer your question though, given that you've said your eating habits haven't changed and you're just as active I wouldn't worry. I'm sure everything is and will be just fine :)

Eek! Every pregnancy is different. I gained 10 lbs in only 4 weeks during the span of this pregnancy but then the rapid weight gain stopped. So far I've gained 22lbs and I'm 31 weeks. Maybe it'll slow down for you too. I thought I was going to be huge.
