I am just curious how common it is to actually gain the recommended 25-35lbs. I personally gained 40lbs and people seem appalled when I tell them that (never mind they are very rude for asking :rolleyes: ) and act as though I must have really let myself go. My DD was average size, 7lbs 7oz, when she was born, but my body just needed to gain more than average I guess. I was small pre-pregnancy, 5'3" tall and 105lbs, so my OB said my weight gain was healthy. I am just sick of my friends telling me they only gained 15lbs when I know their ass was just as fat as mine when they were pregnant. :p

FWIW, I am already back at my pre-pregnancy weight. My body does not look the same, but the weight is gone.

I gained 35lbs total with my son - who ended up being 8lbs12oz... I lost it all within 10 weeks PP (lost 31lbs by my 7 week PP appt). Now if I could only loose this pooch :o

My mom gained 50lbs with me and it was gone within 12 weeks PP...
