Question:
What weight gain should I aim for, and when do you gain a majority of your pregnancy weight?
Answer:

Most women gain the majority of their pregnancy weight during the home stretch (the third trimester) when you can expect to put on a pound a week. Aim for an overall weight gain of about 25 to 35 pounds from a variety of healthful vegetarian foods, and you'll be sure to score a healthy home run.
