Up until the last 3 weeks I've been doing really well with my weight.

My body is doing pretty much what it did last time.

Yeah, I did have a spurt in the middle where I gained about 7 lbs in a month and then it tapered off to about 2 lbs a month. I've not gained anything now for a month and I'd expect to gain maybe 5 more lbs (as the baby gains weight) over the next two months. So far I've gained exactly 20 lbs and I'm aiming for 25 total. I gained exactly 30 lbs with my first.

Sigh...I'm soooo far over what you guys have gained. I hadn't been tracking my weight gain at all but finally at my last appointment

I shot up by 9 lbs in three weeks at one point, which freaked me out! Doc said it's normal though and should taper off in tri 3...

Up till now, I've gained very little but I read that at this stage 1lb/week is normal so I think my limited gain days are over. I've already gained 1lb since my last appt and it hasn't even been 2 weeks.

I started close to you, at 198. My last pregnancy I started at 188 and gained 0 by 24 weeks but ballooned to 50 total gained by 35 weeks... this time I've been gaining steadily and have gained 44 already :/ I'm eating pretty well, just keep on gaining. My doc says it's fine because it's all in my belly... I know he says it's fine, but I feel pretty much like a beached whale!

Are you sure your BP is OK? 5 pounds in 3 days is a lot and sudden, unexpected weight gain could be a a sign of pre-eclampsia. Not to scare you, but that's a lot of weight really quickly. I would get my BP checked just to be sure.
