I gained weight fast as well, it slowed down, a lot, in my third trimester.... My doctor just knew I was going to have gestational diabetes because I went over the expected weight gain, but I don't....

I'd let your dr know. Probably fluid retention.

You should definitely tell your doctor..  
I just now hit 9 pounds and I'm 29 weeks.  
Although you may gain most of it in your first to second trimester.  
Just drink a lot of water!
