Did you gain more with baby #1 or #2?

I thought I would gain less this second time around, I've always heard that you're too busy chasing the toddler around, etc.  But I feel like I'm eating so much more this time b/c I'm home, whereas with DD I was still working.

The scale has not said I've gained more YET, but I have a feeling I'm doomed to gain more this time around...

  • I gained 50 lbs with #1 and 38 lbs with #2.  I'm having a harder time losing this time around, but don't let that worry you b/c several women on here and that I know irl lost the weight with #2 much easier.  Plus you haven't gained any weight yet which is great!
  • #1; I gain 42 w DD and 29 with DS

  • I gained more with #1 but I started out weighing less in the beginning.  #1 I gained 35, #2 I gained 25 but weighed more.  All in all my end weight was about the same.

  • I gained less with #2
  • #1 - 33.5 pounds

    #2 - 31 pounds

  • Less with #2. I gained 40lbs with DD and this time I've gained 19, so far. I doubt I'll gain much more in 2wks though.
  • #1 = +65lbs. (lost it all +10)

    #2 = + 50 so far w/ 3 weeks to go

  • I gained just a few pounds less with #2 despite the fact that I exercised much more and ate less junk.  But it came off SO much more quickly and easily with #2. 
  • Exactly the same so far.  I gained 37ish pounds with DD and had her at 38 wks.  Lost it all plus 10 within a couple months.  Started at the same weight again this time around and have gained 33 lbs at 35 wks.
  • I am about equal right now.  I think I am about 1 lb more at this point than I was with DS.  I only gained 25lbs with DS though.  I feel the same way as you though, being home I eat more.  When I was working what I took for lunch was what I had.  But being home, I can change my mind and have something else.
