Underweight (BMI less than 18.5) : 28 to 40 pounds
Normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9) : 25 to 35 pounds
Overweight (BMI 25 to 29.9) : 15 to 25 pounds
Obese (BMI 30 or more) : 11 to 20 pounds

I am FINALLY normal BMI for a pregnancy. I was told I could gain 25-35 but I was allowed to gain as little as 20. I would love to gain as little as needed!0
