If yu have not been to stork.Net I
suggest you do. Great web site with tons
of info.
Weight gain:
the amount of weight pregnant women gain
varies from woman to woman and even
pregnancy to pregnancy in each woman.
Your pre-pregnancy weight affects how much
you should gain during pregnancy. Here
are some guidelines but keep in mind, the
numbers don't count as much as the food
you eat. If you consume nutritious food
in adequate quantities, you'll be eating
good enough for your baby. If you gain
more than these recommended amounts but
have eaten healthy foods, chances are the
weight will come off easily and quickly
after delivery. Remember - do not diet
during pregnancy! Eat wisely!

I was told that a healthy weight gain
while pregnant was no more then 10 kg. I
however put on 17kg lol (I wasn't happy at
the time)

I gained about 50lbs (20kg I believe).
First pregnancies you tend to gain more.
Plus I think I gained more "blood &
fluid" than 8 pounds, lol.
