Just looking for a general consensus here. Especially interested in thinner moms with average/healthy body weights to start with.

I was 5 foot 10 and weighed 120 lbs. I gained fifty pounds, some of it well deserved muscle. I only needed to lose about 10 more after I gave birth to get to a good weight.

I was 115 pre-pregnancy and gained 60 lbs. I lost it all in a year. I think the 25-35 lb. rule is caca. Especially when you're small to begin with. I mean, I gain 10lbs in just the first 2 months alone.

Well, I was a little chunky before I got pregnant, but not much (prolly around 10lbs overweight).
I gained 30 lbs, but in my first trimester I lost 22 lbs due to awful morning, noon, & night sickness. So maybe if I had kept all that weight I would have gained 52lbs LOL

Over 40 pounds!! I started at 5'8" and 145. I lost about 25lbs before I left the hospital (baby was almost 9 lbs.) and all the rest came off while nursing. I ate fairly healthy while pregnant but gave in to frequent ice cream needs. It all worked out.

Honestly, I lost control of my eating and gained 50 pounds. It sucks now that I did. But now with this pregnancy I have only gained 20 and only have 4 weeks left. I plan on major dieting after the baby comes and I'm all healed up.

With my first one, I gained 80 lb. I was a size 10, which was too small for me--I should have been a 12 because I have a large frame. I lost all of it but 10 lb., and am much healthier now. :)
With my second one, I gained only 40 lb., and lost all of it except the same dumb 10 lb. :)

20 lbs. I was 103 lbs pre-pregnancy, 97 lbs after the first trimester (I threw up everything I ate and drank), and was 123 lbs at the end of my pregnancy. My son was a healthy 6 lbs 10 oz, born two weeks before his due date.

I started out at 135 pounds, and 5'2" i had morning sickness for 4 months and lost 16 pounds, i went up to 175 pounds, so around 50 pounds straight out and front. And have fun if you stretch out a lot or your skin rips cuz you are not gonna look the same comin out as you did before you got pregnant.
