Can anyone who is medically certified give me correct information on healthy weight-gain during pregnancy?

I am writing my final story for my college career and I really need to quote someone on healthy/ un-healthy nutrition and weight-gain during a pregnancy. What should you eat? Diet and exercise? Is everyone going to gain the same amount? How much is too much? Should I personally feel bad about having gained 80 lbs? (I've only got 8 left to lose in under 1 yr after pregnancy) What's the right/wrong answer? Is there one? I went through a pregnancy and gained nearly 80 pounds - oops! :) I am looking for someone who wouldn't mind being quoted in a story that I'm writing for class at The University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss. I tried contacting my local nurses, but they're quite difficult to get in touch with! I'd truly appreciate any help I could get. It would be great if we could email back and forth also! I can get all the info I need via the internet, so I'm mainly looking for a specific quote from someone with a medical background. Thanks! If you were a journalism major, you would realize that getting someone to quote is a necessary evil, and it's not cheating. As aforementioned, I have done the research, I need a quote. I need voices. Thanks for no help, Beck.
