Gain similiar with second as first?

melaniedel

I am hoping I'm on a similiar track as DS. I gained 17 lbs (no water weight) and was up about 3 lbs after 2 weeks pp with him. I am a 13 lbs up (4 within the last week!) so far with this one, and I remember gaining most at first and then holding steady. I guess I am starting to worry though. Seeing that weight creep up is scary. I have been eating healthy for the most part, but haven't been working out as much (gym still closed because hurricane, cold weather, etc).

I know everyone is different, but did you gain similiarly with number two? Also, it's winter this time (and holiday time)...yikes

I gained 17lbs with my 1st and 6lbs with my 2nd. If I didn't have such issues with my 2nd, I'm almost certain I would have been around 17lbs again.

I gained 25lbs with #1, 19lbs with #2, and so far 26lbs with #3.  BUT, my starting weight was different for each of them.  I think my final weight has been about the same with them all, my starting weight was different...that has been making me feel a little better about gaining more this time!  I was 7lbs lighter this time than I was with #2  And I lost it the first 2 times, I can do it again!

#1- Gained 36 lbs, 

#2-  Started at the same pre-pregnancy weight as last time. Gained 41 lbs. 

#3- I started 15 lbs heavier than last time, I hope to gain 25-30 lbs. So far I'm up 4 lbs at 18 weeks.

I gained a lot more with our first ( 45lbs) and gained about 20-25lbs with our second. I think with our first I was just so eager to show I ate anything and everything.. and with our second I had just started getting back into shape.

Thanks everyone! I was just so active last time, and I guess I still am with a toddler, but I don't have the boardwalk and warm weather this time. Hopefully, it is still similiar.

With DS1 I gained 45 pounds (lost it all by 5 months pp) but just before getting pregnant again, gained 5 pounds back.  With DD1 I gained 35 pounds (at a 5 pound higher starting weight) and lost it all about the same time frame.  And with DS2 I got back to my original weight and gained 25 pounds.  This time starting this pregnancy at almost 10 pounds lower than my norm and hoping to only gain about 25 pounds or a little less.
