I have a sheet that says all the weights..

If you are under weight 28 to 40 pds
If you are normal weight 25 to 35 pds
If you are a little bit over weight 15 to 25 pds
If you are over weight 15 pds
Twin pregnancy 35 to 45 pds

I was a little bit over weight because they go by height to weight ratio so I am only supposed to gain 15 to 25 pds.  I am 21 weeks tomorrow and I have gained 8.

Hope This helps.  :)

I have gained all of my weight in my third trimester (6 pounds), and was advised to gain 0-10 lbs. I lost about 10lbs all together in my first and second trimester. I am excited to know I will probably leave the hospital weighing less than I did when I got pregnant :)

It's usually based on if you were underweight before pregnancy or overweight. Some women don't gain anything and some do. Me I haven't gained at all and I'm six months.

Depends on your body before pregnancy. But usually 25-35lbs is recommended
