I think it has a lot to do with how much you weighed pre-pregnancy. I am supposed to gain only 15-20 pounds during this pregnancy because I was overweight to begin with. This may be why he is concerned.

I gained 10 lbs by around 19 weeks. I have gained about 20 as of last week (26 weeks). I don't think 7lbs is too much at all. Some doctors baffle me.

my doctor NEVER mentioned my weight gain, even when I asked her about it, she said "you are doing fine, don't worry"
I gained 50 lbs in total 
I gained 59lbs and kept asking the MD - "are you SURE this is OK?". She was never concerned.
I gained a similar amount and for all of my third trimester appointments he kept saying you're doing great with your weight.
To the OP: did your blood pressure go up? Were there changes in your urinalysis? Maybe that is why your dr is concerned? If not, I wouldn't worry too much.

Re: My doctor said I gained to much weight...how much weight did you gain by...
It looks like almost all of your weight gain happened between your last appointment and now. That could be why your doctor was concerned. I honestly wouldn't worry. A lot of people have fairly large weight gains at some point. I gained 9 lbs between 16 and 21 weeks. I keep gaining weight, but I haven't had any huge jumps since then. Your body will put on what it needs to during pregnancy.
My original OB said I should gain a certain amount of weight, which I've probably already gone over yet the other doctors in my practice tell me I'm right on target with my weight gain. Don't stress about what the doctor said.

I'm really surprised they would say that's too much!
At 17 weeks I was up 2lbs and they told me I should be gaining more.
I'm like MsMBV though- I know I will gain the majority of my weight toward the end of the pregnancy. Alot of women gain fast in the beginning and then slow down significantly toward the end (my SIL is this way).
So I am really, really surprised they would say that.

How could your doctor say that is too much. At 20 weeks I have gained 10lbs. My doctor said that was perfect. I was around 6-7lbs at 17 weeks.
As some others have mentioned, I didn't think about your starting weight.

That really doesn't sound like a lot at all to me. I'm just about 17 weeks as well & I've gained about 4 pounds. I don't see where 7 would be too much
