  I agree with pretty much everything that has been said here. No one was being negative.
  Unless your doctor says anything to you I would not worry about weight gain and just make sure you are getting all the nutrition that you and the baby need!
  
  You want tips and advice? Here ya go...
  Everyone's body is different and perhaps it is the way that you phrased your initial post that got you responses you didn't like.
  If you were looking for someone to relate - don't ask us all how much have we gained to see where we are weight wise.. tell us your struggle and then ask can anyone else relate (as opposed to asking everyone how much they have gained).
  
  Some more advice... RELAX!! Unless you are gaining way too much weight (which is not the case here) then don't even think about your weight until after the baby is born!
  
  I've never heard of 15 being the minimum weight gain for pregnancy and unless you have GD (and are on a strict diet) then I would think that 15 was really too low. I;ve always heard of 35 being the average.
  
  For my first pregnancy I started out at 200 lbs (didn't look it but that's what the scale said). I only gained 15 lbs during the entire preganncy because I was on a GD diet.
  A year after my baby was born and I went to the doctor for my BFP I was down to 176.
  I have gained a total of 4 lbs since my BFP.
  All of this means nothing because like I said everyone's body is different. My friend at work probably started out at 120 and she gained 50 pounds with her pregnancy and she went back to her pre-preg weight about 5 - 6 months later.
  
  You'll be fine!!
