I keep forgetting to ask my OB and don't remember from last time. I know 25-35 lbs total depending on a woman, but how much is ok each week/month ?

Everyone is different depending on your BMI, but the average recommended is 2-4lbs the first trimester and then about a pound a week each week after that.
You can use this weight calculator to gauge where you are based on your BMI-

i found this info helpful as well
Let's say your baby weighs in at 7 or 8 pounds at birth. That accounts for some of your pregnancy weight gain. But you certainly will gain more that 8 pounds during your pregnancy. Where does the rest of the weight go? Here's a sample breakdown:
Baby 7 to 8 pounds
Larger breasts: 1 to 3 pounds
Larger uterus: 2 pounds
Placenta 1 1/2 pounds
Amniotic fluid: 2 pounds
Increased blood volume: 3 to 4 pounds
Increased fluid volume: 3 to 4 pounds
Fat stores: 6 to 8 pounds
Every woman is different but when I read this I thought it was very interesting.
Try to stay active, eat healthly and drink lots of water.
The best fact I've come across is that you're not eating for two!! You only need to eat an extra 300 calories a day to keep that baby growing nice and healthy.
