Pregnancy weight gain...

~CrazieMama~ wrote: I was just curious as to how much weight everyone gained during their pregnancies.

I gained 65 lbs with my son. And 28 lbs with my daughter.

amynicole21 replied: I gained about 45lbs. It was mostly water - I was swollen beyond recognition

Schnoogly replied: I gained 45 lbs too. And very little of it was water unfortunately! About 20 went away immediately, 25 are still hanging around

mckayleesmom replied: I was 160 before i was pregnant,,but pretty fit, During my first trimester I lost 20lbs. I finally started showing at 7 months, then at 9 months I was back to my regular size, then at the last minute I gained 12lbs,,so I was 172, lost 20 right away,,,then got down to 145,,,but im back to my regular size again.......I never got swollen until after I had her cause of those leg things they make you wear after a c-section.

supermom replied: Hmmm....I never had to wear the leg stockings after either of my c-sections.

I gained 65 lbs with my DS #1 (lots water, but still some fat too).....had lost 35 lbs in three days postpartum after emergency c/s

Then with DD #1 I was so sick the entire time, I only gained 25 lbs. That OB told me that I needed to gain more weight, I had only gained about 12 by my 7 1/2 month, but then I quit having such bad morning sickness, that I pigged out...

With DD #2 I gained about 35 lbs. Within normal range, and no complications again. (Thank goodness!)

Actually I weight exactly the same when I got PG the second and third time as I did the first - so in two years I had lost all of the extra, except after the third, it never did come off......

With DS #2 I gained 45 lbs - some water, but also fat - and now with #3 (either DS or DD, not sure yet) I have gained a total of 14 lbs overall so far at 36 1/2 weeks PG.

MommyToAshley replied: I gained 72 lbs. I was around 200 lbs by the end of my PG. (I had also lost weight in my first trimester) The thing is that I ate really healthy -- lots of fruits and veggies. I didn't eat many sweets and I still gained that much!

I still have about 15lbs to get back off to get back to my pre-PG weight. All of which is located in my gut!

MomofTay&Sam replied: ugh 68lbs was my weight gain with Sammy. I am back down to 113, but have a icky belly.

Mommieto2Girls replied: I gained 49 lbs and lost most of it after I her her but then put some back on.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I gained 40-45lbs not to sure ammount case she was early.,I have lost all but 10lbs. 25 can off fast cause most was water. I was pretty swolen at the end

3xsthefun replied: I gained about 25-30lbs. with Kaitlynn.

With this baby I lost two pounds I haven't really gained any weight. Because I'm over weight as it is. Not to bad though. So I'm lucky unless I gain like 30 or more pounds before this pregnancy is over with. My doctor hasn't said anything about me not gaining weight so it must be alright.

And hopefully after this baby is born. And I can start exercising I can least get back down to 140 pounds. I'd be happy with that. I've never been that small but still I don't like being big either!

CantWait replied: I don't remember what I gained with my first son, but with Anthony I gained about 18lbs.

chloe&tysmommy replied: I weighed 120 lbs before pregnancy, and I gained 30 lbs while pregnant.

Most of it was 'baby and water' but I lost 20 lbs after I had Chloe.

Oh, what we women go through! LOL

Hillbilly Housewife replied: For Zach - I weighed 124 pounds about 2 weeks before I found out we were expecting (I found out about 2 weeks after I SHOULD have found out....), and when I went in to the hospital, I weighed 198 pounds.

I lost about 30 right off the bat - then I weghed in at 165, and have pretty much stayed that way. With this baby, I'm at 19 weeks, and I've only gained 5 pounds so far....

ediep replied: I gained 30 pounds with Jason. I am pretty much back to where I started, but not as fit as I was.

victoire2002 replied: I gained 38 pounds, but I have lost all of it and then some. I am about 5 pounds under my starting weight of 120. I still have a flabby belly, though. It doesn't matter how many sit ups I do, it just doesn't want to leave. I don't think I will stay at 115--- I imagine that I will end up back at 120, because my weight naturally settles around there.


Oh, and I ate fairly normally during pregnancy. Except for those milkshakes!! Yum. I had at least one a week.
I am going to miss bfing because I have been able to pig out and not gain weight!! WAHHHHHH--- the fun eating's over!

MomToMany replied: Here's the list:

Logan: Gained about 50 lbs., and lost it plus some after he was born (I thought I looked pretty good then )

Quentin: Gained 40+ lbs., and it has stayed with me ever since (guess it likes it here !)

Ethan: Only gained 25 lbs., but I could never lose all the weight I gained with Quentin.

Hannah: Lost about 15 lbs. in the 1st trimester (no mormning sickness, just wasn't hungry). Then gained a grand overall total of 12 lbs.

#5: We'll see how this one goes! I'm going to try not to gain too much weight (i.e no 50 lbs. weight gain here), since I'm on the large side anyway. My Dr. said that it's fine not to gain so much since I'm so big.

sara294 replied: I gained 60 with each pregnancy. I am 5'6 .
Hmmm, with dd I was 140 at the start.With ds I was 160.

DD was a few days before edd and was 9.6 pounds.
Ds was 2 weeks before EDD and was 9.8.
