Is there an optimum weight gain for a mum over the course of her pregnancy?

depends on the starting weight. I have heard of the 123 rule e.g.

if you are overweight to begin with aim to put on around 1 stone
if you are of normal weight aim for around 2 stone
if you are underweight aim for around 3 stone
