Pregnancy weight gain 26 weeks

I don't know if this is normal or I am starting to obsess.

Before getting pregnant I had finally lost the last stone from my previous pregnancy, I got down to 10s 13lbs and am 5ft 9

Then found out I was pregnant (3rd baby) and I had awful sickness feeling that made me hungry strangely enough. Was like my tummy always felt empty and when I ate it went away, only problem was led to a bigger weight gain in the first 3 months than normal, and I kept googling what was and wasn't classed as "steady normal weight gain" and found every website basically saying I've put on to much to quick then I kept and keep weighing myself.

I've weighed myself tonight and weigh 12s 6lbs Shock (27weeks Friday) I now feel like I need to stop eating even though I eat as healthy as I can, obs have a pig out every now and then with kids and hubby watching a film. But I just constantly worry about putting on weight, which I never had with the other two? Has anyone else experienced this? (Gained a total of near 3stone with both previous pregnancies).

That sounds about right to me. I’m 30 weeks tomorrow and have gained 22lbs which is in the recommended range for my height and starting weight. I use this calculator www.calculator.net/pregnancy-weight-gain-calculator.html
