I had my 26 week ob appointment, and I gained 7 pounds this month! Yikes. I know most of it can be attributed to a delicious double-chocolate cheesecake a friend of mine made that I devoured over the course of four days. And some of it was probably the baby :)
Luckily, I had only gained 3 pounds prior to this appointment, so I'm only at 10 lbs gained for more than 6 months into my pregnancy, so my ob didn't say anything. I probably would have cried if he did.

I gained SEVENTY pounds during my first pregnancy. Nobody believes me, until I pull out a picture from the week before my due date. I was HUGE! (I was small to begin with, and other than low iron, I never had any real problems, which I think is why my midwife never said a word to me...)
One nice thing, though, is that if you choose to breastfeed you will lose quite a bit of the baby weight in the first six weeks! I lost twenty pounds in the first three months, and the rest was gone by the time my daughter was nine months old. I'm hopeful it will work the same this time around!
You are doing great hon!
