 There ya go

 

I was told 25-35 pounds, and I was average before getting pregnant, so that's the same for me.  I had issues putting on weight in the beginning - I think now I am totalled up  to 13 pounds - and if I gain a pound a week in my time left to 40 it will put me at 23 pounds total.

It's good to have guidelines, but I didn't stress too much about it, especially once I got past the GD test. I gained over 45 lbs. when I was pregnant and dropped it all pretty quickly (within 6 months).  I was average before I got pregnant and I don't think I overate... being pregnant in the late summer added to the water weight I'm sure! It will be interesting to see how it goes the next time around.

Ya, water weight can make a huge difference. I just wanted to pass this along b/c I get the side eye from DH for not gaining weight (or for losing 4 lbs in a week....eek) and I showed him this and it kind of made him see I was doing well.

My midwife told me 20-25 today, but with DS I gained 50!!!  At least I managed to take it all off in the first couple of months.  I'm hoping that doesnt happen again.
