Iv gained 15kgs so far, not sure what that is in pounds. I'm 33weeks, and I have been gaining about 1kg a week. It's scary! But Im healthy and I'd rather get a little chubby and have a healthy baby. But it also depends on how much you weighed before pregnancy. My midwife told me it would be dangerous if I didn't gain weight, some other mothers it is the opposite. Talk to your doctor/midwife if you are concerned. :) just stay healthy for the baby.

Don't freak out momma! I gained 4 lbs in a month and it scared me too. I started going for 40 minute walks a couple times a week. If your doctor thinks its too much, they'll let you know. You're fine! The weight will come off once baby is born.

Wow that's a lot if in only 2weeks. How far along are you? If later in pregnancy could be a sign of pre eclampsia
