Weight gain.?!

So.. I'm a ftm and almost 38 weeks and I've gained so much. About 60 pounds and I haven't really been lazy or binging on snack foods this whole pregnancy. My baby weighs 5 lbs. About how much have you all gained? Is it easy to lose the weight? I'm planning in breastfeeding, too. I've always been really self conscious about my body. The stretch marks I can get over. But I'm afraid I won't be able to lose.

I've gained 10 and 23 weeks. Scared I'll gain a good amount by the end but doctors not too worried. All part of pregnancy .. Everyone's diff. I plan on breath feeding as well. And starting light walking this Mon at home w a video since I'm home all day don't want it to catch up to me. I've never had problems w my weight .. But can't help and worry.

Breastfeeding helps bring down the belly, exercise and eat well also. I'm 16w5d w/ twins and have only gained like 2lbs. I'm all belly.
