It definately varies....my first pregnancy I did not look pregnant and gained like 10 pounds. my second I lost weight , my third I gained 25 pounds and this time I have gained a whopping 45 pounds and I didnt even overeat not 1 time....I did during the first 2 pregnancies eat a LOT and so it varies.......do not worry as long as you are taking your vitamins, drinking plenty of water and adding at least 250 -300 calories a day extra to your intake all should be normal no matter how much you gain or dont gain...as long as the baby is growing dont fear.

It varies! My mom gained a hella amount of weight with me.. I am 34 weeks now and have only gained 21 lbs.. It also depends on your body type; bigger body, more weight.. but that can also be contradicted.. I started out 5'2" and 106 lbs.. A friend of mine, with the same body size gained 44 by time she was 36 weeks..

My mother gained about 45 lbs with me. With my first baby I only gained about 24 lbs total. I am now pregnant with my 2nd and I seem to be gaining more weight and sooner. It just varies!

It definately varies. Just watch what you eat and try not to give in to the cravings. Be sensible and you'll be fine. Every women is different when she is carrying a baby

It varies. I had my baby on Feb 7th and had gained 40lbs. . . I've already lost 30. Just try to eat as healthy as possible, and you'll be alright. It's all worth it in the end.

It varies.......it all depends on how much you eat, what you eat, how active you are, how much water you might retain, and everyones metabolism is different.....so just take care of yourself.......you can help yourself alot by eating well, and walking during your pregnancy
I only gained 29 lbs......and my baby was 8 lbs......I ate frequently but healthy and i stayed active like walking or even just cleaning around my house.....

alot of women gain alotta weight during and after pregnancy it's normal duh, otherwise ur baby wont grow but u really just gotta watch out u dont over do it, alotta women feel free to eat whatever, whenever but as long as ur getting the needed calories for normal weight gain u shouldent worry about gaining too much weight.
