Only 7lbs??? Are you kidding?
Well, back in the day they were encouraged to gain like nothing because it's hard to look waifish, cook and clean and be like leave it to beaver with a big belly.

Just remind her that doctors recommend that average weight women gain between 25 and 35 pounds. Unless she was over-weight 7 lbs sounds really unhealthy.

Re: If my MIL tells me one more time...
Show her the following from the American Pregnancy Association:
?Weight Distribution:
7 1/2pounds is about how much the baby will weigh by the end of pregnancy
1 1/2pounds is how much the placenta weighs
4 pounds is attributed to increased fluid volume
2 pounds is the weight of the uterus
2 pounds is the weight of breast tissue
4 pounds is because of increased blood volume
7 pounds is attributed to maternal stores of fat, protein and other nutrients
2 pounds for the amniotic fluid
Total: 30 pounds

I say you tell her you haven't gained anything. Even at the end of your pregnancy. What's she gonna do? Weigh you? I hate people sometimes.
