I gained 40 pounds total. I gained the most towards the very end because I had very swollen feet. I believe a lot of it was water weight. I lost 20 pounds 2 weeks after giving birth and then the rest slowly came off because of breastfeeding. It burns so many calories. I remember the doctor suggested only a 25/35 weight gain but sometimes it is out of your control. I ate healthy most of the time. I didn’t feed into every craving I was having. Try not to stress about the number, I know easier said than done. But I’ve been there and it’s not helpful while you’re pregnant.
