try protein rich foods, they're good for you and your baby too and as with anything, if eaten in moderation and with your other 5 per days then you will have a healthy diet and healthy weight gain. I only gained 14lb my whole pregnancy and I have a pre pregnancy pulse of 120 (and pre preg bp of 114/70) and thats normal for me, maybe its normal for you, do you know your normal levels? Plus don't forget your life is different now than when it was in your previous pregnancies.

my pre-preg b/p was 120/80 && my pre-pulse was 70. those are normal for me.

My prepreg weight was 135 and I never threw up and I still lost 5lbs. I ate chocolate and candy everyday and until my third trimester I was so tiny. I had only gained 20lbs by 27 weeks and then from then until 31 weeks I gained 6lbs and lost 1lb. It seemed I couldn't gain weight for nothing in the beginning and now I am cutting out the junk food to help lose some. Given I have eaten healthy foods through this whole pregnancy, I just would add 1 or 2 king size candy bars to that.. lol.
