All pregnant members - How much weight have you gained?

mckayleesmom wrote: And did you gain differently then with your first? I hope nobody thinks Im rude....you are allowed to gain weight when your pregnant . Im just curious. I have gained 12 lbs and I am exactly 2lbs away from being the exact weight I was the day I delivered Mckaylee.....I think that would be neat. Of course I was still trying to lose weight when I found out I was pregnant again. I would like to lose a good 50lbs..... ...and then I wake up

booey2 replied: Hi, I am not currently pg but with both my pg's I lost weight and after delivery was about 20 pounds lighter with each birth. 6 years later now that is a different story.

moped replied: I gained about 60 lbs when I was pg.........and was that for a few eeks after due to water retention. I lost it pretty quickly and think I am about the same maybe a bit less thank before I was pg.........I was always freaked about the weight gain.

mckayleesmom replied: I also lost wieght....but I based my weight gain on my normal wieght. With Mckaylee I lost 25lbs and with this one I lost about 15. With Mckaylee I was sick for the whole pregnancy and with this one I didn't know I was pregnant....so the weight loss must not have had anything to do with being sick. I was 172 when I delivered Mckaylee and 142 after my c-section,,,,,then I gained back up to where I was after.....damn food.

mckayleesmom replied: I didn't swell with either of my pregnancies or retain water...so thats probably why its not higher in weight.

booey2 replied: I just had extra weight that I could afford to lose so my body burned up the extra stored to help make them grow. After they were both born my thyroid levels plumetted and I had to have my med's increased. Thus the weight came back on.

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
You only gained 12 pounds?? Wow now I feel terrible. I'm only 4 months and I've already gained 13 pounds... I was reading my pg book yesterday and it said that by the end of the 5th month I should have gained 10 pounds.

mckayleesmom replied: I have a big bone structure also...so I had more room to spare...maybe thats why.

ammommy replied: I'm not pregnant, but with #1 I gained either 66 or 76 pounds (trying to forget the exact number) and with #2 I gained aobut 25 pounds. The funny thing is that with #1 I worked out, ate right, and drank plenty of water (even worked with a trainer and nutritionist). WIth #2 I was on the Dorito and Ice Cream diet and the only work I got was chasing my toddler. Go figure
Weight gain is very frustrating. Well, ok, weight loss is frustrating!

mckayleesmom replied: With Mckaylee I only gained 14lbs,,but I was really sick and couldn't eat at all...after I had my c-section I dropped almost 30lbs and gained it all back cause I was able to eat again......And with this one I was dieting for 4 months and had no clue I was pregnant. I was already 4 months when I found out I was pregnant...I had no clue....I was doing weight watchers....lol

akbutterfly83 replied: I've gained about 48 to 50 lb's... but it's all baby if you looked @ my album you can tell.... LOL

Mom2Boyz replied: I'm not very far along with this one yet, but so far I've lost about 7 pounds.
With Conner, I gained a total of 24 pounds.

noahs_momma replied: I'm due in less than two weeks and I've gained about 35 lbs so far

I gained about that same amount with ds (17 months) and lost it all by the time he was about 5 months old. My butt isn't as big this time so maybe it's all water! LOL

coasterqueen replied: I'm not due for another 15 weeks and I've gained 37.5 pounds so far.

With my DD I gained a total of 40 pounds during the entire pg.

I'm going to be MONSTEROUS this time.

My2Beauties replied: I'm not pregnant neither but I gained 35 pounds exactly with Hanna! I haven't had a second yet!

smullin replied: I am 14 weeks and I have stayed exactly the same looking at my doctor's scale. I lost some weight along the way but I must of gained it back before my last doctor's appointment because the doctor saw no change. My stomach has gotton much bigger though. It really pushes out alot.

elvisfan replied: With this one I am only 7wks so I haven't gained anything yet. With Lane I gained 60-70lbs. I was 18 and had no idea I wasn't supposed to gain that much! I never lost all the extra. Brayden I was careful and gained around 25lbs lost it all plus a couple. Nolan I gained about the same but kept on 10lbs of it. Eva I wasn't too far along so I really hadn't gained yet.

maestra replied: I'm another pregnancy loser. I have actually maintained my weight throughout the pregnancy, sometimes loosing 5 lbs, then the next month gaining it back. I am at exactly the same weight now as when I got preg. When I had Jaci, I lost 20 lbs from the before and after.

I was the same with Jaci, but it's because I already weight enough as it is. I have never had my thyroid levels checked though. Maybe I should ask my dr.

TeagansMom609 replied: When I was pregnant with Teagan I gained 16 lbs. I lost 10 in the begining from being so sick. After I had her I was 8 lbs lighter then I am now.

momof1boy&? replied: I'm new by the way. I have gained 7 pounds but then I've lost 4....I am 14 weeks along.

I retained about 40 pounds of water alone, and gained 30 fat pounds...with my first pregnancy
