Maybe one of the moms on GC can tell me if that 35 pound number is the same that they have heard.

As with many things in this world, it all depends on the individual. 25-35 lbs is considered average, but there are women who will gain much more or much less during their pregnancy and still be fine.
If a woman is slender to begin with, she will often gain a bit more than average than when pregnant. If a woman is overweight to begin with, she will often gain less/gain none/sometimes lose weight when pregnant.
As long as a woman remains healthy during her pregnancy (meaning, no gestational diabetes, no high blood pressure/pre-eclampsia, etc...) even a weight gain of 40-50 lbs can be "okay". Being pg does not mean you have free-reign to eat Bic Macs and cheetos all the live long day, though (which I think dear Brit-Brit was fond of doing more often than not).
And I heard it was Shawn Preston Spears Federline, too.
