I've heard of a lot of people gaining 40-50 pounds during their pregnancy, just make sure you start working out and keep eating healthy after your baby is born to help you shed some of that baby weight. And losing weight takes time it won't just be gone one day you just have to set a goal and work for it. But, you'll probably be so busy worrying about your baby that you won't even notice how much you weigh anymore I bet (=

With my first son I gained over 50 pounds by the time I had him. I was 136 when I got pregnant. I lost only 30 of those 50 but I could have lost more if I wasn't being lazy. I was 19 when I had him.
