It depends on if you are over weight or under weight when you got pregnant. But the ball park average is suppose to be around 24 lbs.

My first son I gained 32 lbs---then lost back to on 18 lbs over when I had him.

My daughter I gained about 28 lbs---then back down to 18 lbs when I had her.

My last son I gained 38 or 39 lbs---then lost back to maybe 25 or so when I had him.

I dont know why I lost weight in the end with them. Maybe cuz it gets so hard to eat in the end---2 bites and then full!!! Lol

i did weigh 160 when I got pregnant with them, and I am very big boned. Wore 32 inch jeans before I got pregnant. So I dont say I was fat---just fluffy a little.
