Putting on too much weight ??

Question

I've just worked out that since June i've put on just over 2stone, and i'm not happy about it, I knew I was putting on weight but I didn't realise how much. And i'm only 29weeks pregnant so i've still got quite a bit of growing to do, i'm starting to get worried cos i read that you should put on 2stone in pregnancy...well by the time i'm finished it looks like i'll have put on over 3stone. Not meaning to make Simon (boyfriend) sound like an a**hole but even he said i'm putting on too much weight.
In June before I found out I was pregnant I was 11stone 5pounds (i'd been stuck on that for months no matter how much I dieted)  and just now i'm 13stone 8pounds.  Still got 10weeks to go aswell... 
Do you think i'm being paranoid  OR  am I actually putting on too much  (be truthful please)

I'm 32 wks preg and I've gained about 30 lbs so far. My OB says my weight gain is perfectly normal and as long as your gently exercising daily (1/2 hr walks) and eating fairly healthy, you should be fine. Just enjoy your pregnancy because it will be over before you know it and soon you will be busy running around taking care of a newborn. My sis-in-law gained 60 lbs during her pregnancy and once she started breast feeding (and cutting down on eating), she lost all the weight within 4 or 5 months (without exercising!)

yeah there's 14 pounds in 1 stone.

I wasn't bothered about how much weight I was putting on until my bf started commenting, at first I thought he was only joking but recently he's been commenting most days, sometimes just things like 'them jeans are too tight round your thighs'   or   'your chin's getting bigger'    or   'look at the size of your arms!'
he's even said a couple of times that when the babys born i'll be 'straight down the gym'
