7pounds in 4 weeks! :/

So at my last Dr appt I was 17.5 weeks  and I hadn't gained any weight. This time (4 weeks later) I'm 22.5 weeks and  I gained 7 pounds! Eeek! I'm a normal weight so they said 25-35 pounds. They said I'm still a little below the average weight gain for 22 weeks but geeze that makes me nervous. The nurse said just dont gain 7 pounds every month... Anyone else gain weight similar to me ?

I am 28w. And every since about 20w I have been gaining about 3-4lbs a week! I find it crazy! But doctor's are not concerned. But if you are too worried just ask your doctor.

I was the same, I hadn't gain hardly any weight my 1st trimester.  The doctor put me on an eating schedule whether I was hungry or not concentrating in protein. That was a week ago so I'm hoping that I gain the 10 pounds she wants by my next appointment oct. 17th.
