I have gained a lot of weight with this pregnancy, way more than I thought was normal. At least 50 lbs. I don't know how much a stone is sorry but as long as your Dr doesn't say anything about your weight you are fine.

I was only eight stone prior to pregnancy and now nine and half. My midwife hasn't mentioned any concerns so I'm unsure why

Joys of pregnancy. But remembered that too much weight can be harmful for you and baby! See what you eat,is it health food that gets easily digested and gives lots of nutrients to you and baby?!? Portion your food intakes- don't ever starve, but make sure you eat often but not too much and SNACK a lot!! Keep tiny plastic bags with: baby carrots, broccoli, apples, nuts etc. and munch on them a lot. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water (not soda or juices) and that you walk a lot... A LOT (walking will help also with your joint and back pain later on in pregnancy and when your belly grows). Sleep is important too, because lack of it puts your body in alert stage and makes you store food to have spare of energy! Good luck!
