Gained less in next pregnancy?

Prepregnancy, I’m on the lower end of normal for weight. I gained 40 pounds with my first pregnancy. It took 18 months to get back to normal, then I got pregnant again! I gained 50 pounds with my second and have had more trouble losing the weight this time.

I’m wondering if I get pregnant again before I’m all the way back to my prepregnancy weight, am I likely to gain less weight in the next pregnancy to reach the same maximum? Or will I gain the same absolute amount and go even higher?

What happened to you??
