How Much Weight did you Gain during Pregnancy?

I gained a total of like 20lbs with my first. But I lost 10lbs the first 3 months before slowly gaining 10 back the 2nd 3months and then the rest (the 20lbs) I gained in the last 3 months. With the 2nd I gained about 45lbs but most of that was water weight (horrible edema in my legs). I lost 15lbs just having him and at 3 weeks postpartum I had lost 35lbs. With my last 2 I gained about 25lbs each. But I never really lost any of the weight I gained with each of them before I got pregnant again. My youngest is 13 months and I still weigh what I did when she was born.

I lost 25 pounds while i was pregnant...not intentionally of course. I ate all the time, but since im a plus sized woman, it just came off. My midwife wasnt concerned at all.

with my 1st I gained 60 lbs and lost 30 when I had him and the rest within 4 months..I walked alot as I was in college. I did gain all my weight with him in the 3rd trimester. With my 2nd I gained 30 lbs and lost 20 before I got pregnant again. I gained steadily with her. With this one I have lost about 5 lbs so far, but am only 19 weeks along so who knows what's going to happen..lol.

I gained 10kg during my pregnancy but my tummy is small, most pple thot i am 5mths pregnant when in fact i was already 7-8 mths. My pre-pregnancy weight was 55kg, it went up to 60kg during 1st tri, then hovers ard 60.5 - 61kg till 3rd where i weigh 65kg. My son was born at 3.1kg. I have shed 5kg and another 5kg more to go. Wish me good luck!

when i was preganant with my first baby i gained up to 50 pounds more of my ideal weight, up until now, with my 2nd baby borne, i am still trying to lose at least 20 pounds. what are you doing to lose weight? is it ok for you to go on a crash diet? are you using diet pills?

My first pregnancy, I gained about 25-30 pounds. I didn't really lose much of it afterward. I also had pre-eclampsia. My second pregnancy, I gained 60 pounds. I think I lost maybe 20-30 of the 60. I just had a baby in February, and I gained about 22 pounds. I have lost 40 pounds so far. I did really well with this last pregnancy. I would still like to lose another 30 pounds.

I was big to start with. With my first child I gained 50 pounds. I never lost it. some but not all. lol. I finally got tired 5 years later and started losing weight by diet. I had lost 30 pounds and then a suprise pregnancy happened. I then gained 70 pounds with my son. He was a bog boy and I had diabites with him, so I gained a lot. I lost about 20 pounds in teh delivery room and then gained it all back a few weeks later. I am nopw on a diet and working out. I have lost 4 pounds so far. I want to lose 80 pounds.

I only have one baby. I was overweight before I got pregnant with him, and lost weight during the first trimester, and again the last few weeks before he was born. From my first doctor's appointment, to the one 9 days before my son was born, I net gained 9 lbs. My son came out 8 lbs 10 oz, so when I left the hospital I weight about 10 lbs less than I did when I first found out I was pregnant. He's 15 months old now, and I've only lost another 5-10 lbs since he's been born. We're wanting to have another one, but I want to be at a healthier weight first.

For all 4 of my pregnancies, I gained between 60 & 65 pounds. My first baby was born in November and by summer I was back to my pre-baby weight wearing a 2 piece swimsuit again. My second baby was also born in November and I was down to my pre-baby weight + 5 pounds by summer. My third was born in January and by summer my wieght was down to all but 10 pounds! Then came the fourth. I am now 20 pounds heavier than I was pre-babies. I am trying to loose some of the weight, but know that I will never be as thin as I was before kids. Keep focused and you will get back to your desired weight.

I gained 29 lbs with my first one and 50lbs with this last one. Well so far. I'm still trying to lose the weight. lol.

My oldest gained 40lbs lost quite a bit well about down to 130 then my second I was able to fit into my old clothes when he was like 2 weeks old. My last baby I only gained like 27lbs but afterwards it was a nightmare. I was all the way up to 175 but now I am back down to 157 and still counting. I have been working out everyday and trying to do other things to get back into shape. My goal is 120 but I will be happy once I get down to like 140 and 130 that is when I will be able to fit into my old clothes again.

1st pregnancy at age 18: lost 20lbs in the 1st 3 months due to extreme "morning sickness"... gained that back but not much more... had a 8lb 6.5oz baby girl & most of the weight went right off... all was gone by 3 weeks post partum. this time around... 24 yrs old.. 2nd preg. started 20lbs over what i would have liked to.. and gained less than 20 more. gave birth to a 6lb 15oz baby girl and have 5 more lbs to my starting weight at 2 weeks post partum.. but 20lbs to where i'd like to be..

With my first I had Gestational Diabetes and gained 50 lbs. I lost most of that weight within a year. With baby #2 I gained 45 lbs (no diabetes) but six years later still have some to take off, LOL! Thank God for Weight Watchers!

I gained 75 lbs with my 1st and only lost 20. 2nd child I gained 30 lbs and lost all of it. 3rd child gained 7 lbs and lost all plus 5 lbs. more at 6 week check up. 4th child gained 11 lbs and lost all of it. Still struggling to lose from 1st child and have gained quite a bit more since the 4th.

I gained the weight that I had needed to gain to be at ahealthy weight and the baby weight was about another 29 pounds. I went from 89 pounds to 153 pounds then back down to 139 after she was born.

I actually gained 30 pounds when my wife was pregnant with our first child, and 35 when she was pregnant with our second child. I gained more than she did. Weird?

I have 3 children, and on my pregnancy with each one of them I was always about 120lbs. My babies would weigh about 7lbs -7.5lbs when they were born. After giving birth, I would immediately lose a lot of weight because I lacked sleep at night as I would make sure to keep count of the number of hours the baby needs to take his or her next bottle of milk, or needed to change his or her diapers. I also ate less, but not because I intended to lose weight. I just didn't have the same appetite I had when I was pregnant. My weight would go down to 90 to 94lbs and has stayed that way for a long, long time. For me it has always been a great achievement if I make it to 100lbs! Today, I am still striving to gain weight, and my ultimate goal is still to become 100lbs.

I gained 10 kgs extra in my trimester and after my child birth i cant reduce it as i'm feeding him, so any one suggest me to reduce weight?

I gained about 31 lbs. Right after I gave birth my stomach went right down and you would never have known I was pregnant only minutes before, It was weird, I didn't think that happened and the poor girl that shared my room the next day still looked like she was 7 months pregnant. I still had a bit of a pudge, looked more like my belly was jello, it was gross and I buzzed the nurse I was so freaked out..lol.She said it's normal, and about 2 months after I had her I could wera all of old jeans again. I was about 102 lbs when I got pregnant and the day I delieved I was 133 lbs. Although I still do have a small bit that I was never able to loose and the stretchmarks , well I have lots of them, wish they would of went away!

Hi. I gained 85 pounds, it was nuts. Has anyone else gained more that 85 pounds?
