I was overweight with all my pregnancies, more so with the last because I didn't lose the pregnancy weight between my DD's.

I gained 22kgs with DS and DD1 - and probably about 12-14kg with DD2 - since I was already heavy.

I think the "recommended" is about 10-15kg - but some women gain 5 some gain 40 - its all up to what your body does.

I say eat in moderation, exercise in moderation - and throw out those damn scales - you're having a baby!
