Definitely not true. I am going for my 4th child and I've only gained 19lbs. My second child was 8 lb 14 oz  and only gained 21. As long as u wear a tummy brace u should be fine. So that way air want stay inside u after u give birth.  I am 34 an was 115 lb and ive stayed that weight for my past pregnancies

I gained 60 lbs with my first. I have never been that big again. I tend to gain more than 25-35 lbs. I average about 45, and I have never had a problem losing it. I really feel like my body knows what it needs, so I try to not overly obsess.

Second pregnancy you tend to look pregnant sooner.
Proper weight gain is determined by your pre-pregnancy weight - BMI
The ideal range
18-25% body fat should gain 25-35 pounds
If you are over 30% then you are only recommended to gain 10-15 lbs

With my first I gained 41, this baby I gained 27. Depending on your pre pregnancy weight you'll know if you are on track. Use this app to tell if you gained too much

I don't think it's true. I gained 43 with my daughter and this time at 37+4 weeks I've only gained 30.
