How much weight did you gain when you were pregnant??

I ask this because the doc. suggested to me 20-25 pounds.... HAHAHA!! Yeah Right!!

Mommy2BAK replied: I'll go first..... I gained 40 pounds!!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: So far I've gained 7 pounds... I was a little depressed about it since most people I know lose weight in their first trimester - leave it to me to gain more than I should in the 1st 3 months! 7 pounds isn't so bad though so I'm keeping my hopes up that it won't get too out of hand!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I was a freak with both and ended up loosing.
With Katy is was 40 then gained back about 20
With Matt is was 30 then gained back 15

A&A'smommy replied: uh I gained WAY more than I care to share

maestra replied: I am at a net loss of 2 lbs, but it should be a little more so I got warned by the OB to watch what I'm eating. Yeah, like that's going to happen with a pregnant woman at Christmas time. Whatever.

kit_kats_mom replied: ummm...I gained 60 with K and 56 so far with Lauren.
The upside is that I was already overweight when I got pregnant with K so I got to 267 at the end. I'd joined weight watchers and just met goal when I got pregnant with Lauren so I'm 35 lbs lighter now than I was at this same point with K.

coasterqueen replied: I gained 40 with Kylie. I was 20 pounds overweight before I got pg with her so I lost all my pg weight plus the 20 pounds before getting pg again. I used Weight Watchers to do so. With this pregnancy I've already gained 30 pounds and I'm only 1/2 way through it. A lot of mine is because I can't exercise and I was able to when I was pg with Kylie.

MommyToAshley replied: I was 135 before I got PG and ended up over 200lbs by the end of the PG. (So, 65lbs or so) I had even lost a few pounds in the first trimester. I ate very healthy too -- lots of fruits and veggies and not a lot of junk.

ediep replied: I gained about 32 pounds with Jason.

Stacimonkey replied: I gained 47 pounnds with Chloe! That's what I get being HUGE prego during the holidays last year, I always had peanut butter cookies or hershey's in my hand lol! SOOO GOOD! I was like the cookie monster...ME WANT COOOOOOKIE!!!!!!! LOL! Scary

toddzgurl replied: I have gained a total of 52lbs and I still have like 3 weeks to go. I feel so fat!!!

mitchzgirl replied: I weighed 102 lbs to start, and gained so far 43!!! My mom gained like 70 with all her kids, and was a size 3 until she broke her neck, so hopefully I can take after her.

paradisemommy replied: i gained about 60 lbs. but loved every minute of it!!!

Alice replied: sorry.... I gained 21 lbs with each of my girls.

Brian, of course was the best!!! Since he's adopted, I didn't gain an ounce, and was able to drink right up until his "delivery"

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I can't remember! All I know is that I still am wearing most of it from Ethan. UGH! Will it ever come off???

AshleyRose replied: I weighed 112-115 before pregnancy and now (well last time which was at like 28 weeks) I weighed 145 I think ... so I won't be in the 20-25 weight gain limit... not even close!

Tamatha replied: So far I'm still right within the limits where I'm supposed to be... Have only gained 2-3 pounds. But I read 25-35 is what is suggested?? Will be able to tell you tomorrow what my doc says!

Emeraldsmom replied: I gained 31 pounds w/Emerald.

Nicole replied: I gained 82lbs. with Dakota I brining me to 203lbs. after i had him i lost a little brining me to 170lbs. then i got PG with Austin and gained 25 with him brining 195lbs. and lost a little going back down to 170lbs. then i got PG with Cheyenne and gained 15 pounds going to 185 lbs. then after she was born my mom died and i quite smoking and i gained some more weight going back up to 204 lbs. then i lost about 85 lbs. starting from April 2003 to April 2004 getting down to 121lbs. well my doc told me i was underweight and so i was trying to gain about 10/15 pounds so i`d be at the 130/135 my doc told me would be healthy for my frame (med/big) and height (5ft. 6in.) so the day i found out i was Pg i was 124lbs. (getting better but not at my 130/135 yet) well i started putting weight on fast after i got Pg and at my first visit i was 133lbs. so i was at my goal weight, So that`s what my Ob-gyn went with was my weight at my first visit, so if i go by the day i found out i`ve gained 23 lbs. and if i go by my goal weight what my Ob-gyn and what i was at my first visit i`ve gained 13lbs.! My OB-gyn keeps telling me i`m a light weight and he want`s to see more weight gain, well this month i gave it to him gaining 7 pounds, oh boy was he happy about that and told me to keep it up!
Well at least i know i can lose it, because i`ve already done it before!
