So I've lost all my baby weight and I'm super excited...but I cant wait for #2! (we'll be trying in Jan 2011) I have heard that you don't gain as much weight the 2nd time but your belly shows quicker...whats the real deal with weight the 2nd time around??

    First, congrats on losing the baby weight! I just lost all mine plus 5 lbs and now I'm pregnant again. lol I've heard it's normal to gain more, but I'm sure it varies person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy.

    I lost all mine by 2. 5 months pp. my belly looked the same etc. I got pg and showed sooner bc i hear your muscles and uterus are ready to go! they have been stretched out so maybe thats why.

    But last time I gained 32lbs totalby 39 wks and this time I have only gained 19 lbs by 36 wks. Its called the chasing a toddler/carrying a baby around diet =) I also was sicker this time, and was bfing while pregnant for 18 wks which burns more calories.

    I think I showed around the same time for both.  I've been gaining less this time around but I took eating for 2 as a serious job when I was pg with DS.

    There's no way to tell.  Everyone's body is different.  I had lost all the weight from #1 before getting pregnant with #2.  I gained just as quickly the second time, but I also showed later the second time (16w with #1, 18w with #2).  I've lost weight at about the same pace.

    Yay!  Congrats on losing the weight!

    I lost the baby weight from D by 4 months pp, but my stomach was still flabby, and in some shirts I still actually looked a little pregnant still.  I got pregnant when D was 7 months old, and when I told people, I actually had "I thought you looked pregnant!" comments - I was only 8 or so weeks along...yikes.  By the time I was 12 weeks, I was obviously pregnant.

    The second pregnancy, I gained less weight, and Wes was the same size as D when he was born, but my stomach was much bigger.  And now that I'm 2 months pp, I still have 12 pounds to lose, but my stomach is REALLY flabby.  It is going to take a lot of work.  Yuck.

    I gained a lot less weight this time but was definitely showing sooner.

    I didn't lose all the weight before getting pregnant with DS#2 b/c I was still nursing until a couple weeks before.  I gained half the weight with DS#2 but still had yet to lose the weight from #1.  Now I'm 2 months pp and have lost all the weight from DS#2 and most of it from DS#1 without trying.  Hopefully I can get the rest off without trying too. :)

    I gained a lot less weight (but was also sick for the first 24 weeks) but showed earlier. With #1 I'm ashamed to admit that I gained about 50-55lbs. With #2 I gained 17-20lbs. I've lost all but 4lbs from #2 but still have 20lbs from #1 to lose after this!
