Don't worry about your weight at all Christine. Being underweight to start you need to gain a little extra anyway and gaining weight, even more than usual, on a healthy diet is perfectly fine. Some women's bodies "save up" more than others. I've known ladies who lived on Burger King and Coke and gained 15 lbs and ladies who followed the Best Odd's diet in WTEWYE to a tee and gained 65lbs. Eat healthy, exercise and worry about the weight AFTER the baby comes.

And IGNORE the busy bodies!!
