I gained 30 lbs total and I carried twins. Up until I was 34 1/2 weeks, I had only gained 12 lbs. By the time I reached my 37th week (when I gave birth) I had gained 18 more but most of it was fluid. The twins were 5 lbs 8 oz and 5 lbs 13 oz. Both babies and mommy were completely healthy. Within a week of giving birth, I lost the 30 lbs plus an additional 20 more. Since giving birth I've lost another 15. I know I could be losing alot more if I could get in some regular exercize. But between my three children, the house and my full-time job, I can't seem to find the time so I just make sure I eat healthy. I was up and running around within a week!!
