whats the average amount of weight u gain in pregnancy?

I was 9stone, 10lb at the start.im now 35+5days and i am 11and a half stone. Im 5ft,3in and of small build. From the back u wouldnt know i was pregnant, from the front my belly is gigantic. The consultant said its a very large baby so im being, closely monitored.no diabetes. Im constantly hungry and do my best to eat a balanced diet, but its like i am getting bigger and bigger by the minute. Do u think already the 2and a half stone is too much weight or does that seem normal?

With my first, I gained 50 pounds, but started under weight. With my second I gained 40 I think. And with my third I gained only 11, but was working a full time very physical job eight months of it.... this pregnancy ive gained 8 so far and I'm 16+4.... so this will prob wind up being another over 30 pound gain... lol
