Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Weight gain during third trimester of pregnancy or 36 weeks is absolutely normal. Actually in third trimester, there occurs rapid growth of baby & baby gains most weight in this time.
So you should not worry much about weight gain, it is your baby which is growing.
Refer to your gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
