As long as you're eating healthy stuff and getting some exercise it, I wouldn't worry. I personally tend to gain most of the weight in the first and second trimesters - I go through a period where I gain 2 pounds a week! Right now I'm 29 weeks and have gained 27 pounds. I also gained rapidly when I was pregnant with my son, but I still only gained 35 lbs in the whole pregnancy. My doctor isn't worried either. You'll be just fine!

I will be 25 weeks tomorrow too and just like you, i have gained the same amount of weight as you. My doctor is also not worried, he says it is perfectly okay. Like you, I can't help marveling at the weight gain because i haven't really increased my food intake and I don't look like I have gained that much. But as long as we are healthy and the little ones are fine, that's what counts, right?
