121-153 is a healthy weight for your height. You aren't even considered overweight and you are almost eight months pregnant! You were 10 or 11 pounds underweight, I'd say that's a lot.   I'm considered one pound overweight now.   I weighed 110 before I got pregnant, it's only one pound underweight, but still. (I'm 5'4.)
