taurus424 · September 2010

So with DS I was in my 20's and gained 50lbs...it all came off...this time I am determined to gain 20-25 lbs max. Anyone else nervous about a repeat weight gain like the first??? DS 10.6.06 Due date 5.21.11

I am terrified!! I gaind 60 with DS and only lost 50 and still has flabby ab muscles. Doctor only wants me to gain 25 lbs max this time around since I am starting out at 200lbs.

I have been sick so I have not gained any weight so far.

Due Date: 4/26/2011

Ugh, yes. I gained 50 last time and held on to 10 of that. IMO, it was too much, but he never said anything to me about it. Hopefully I can stay in the 25-35 range.

with my first i gained 13lbs and my second i gained over 20 but under 25..don't remember! i have already gained like a lb or so. i would love to keep it under 25 since i am short and it doesn't carry well!

Me too!!!! I gained about 40 lbs with DS and was lucky enough to lose it all. However with my thyroid issues, I am always worried about gained too. I hope to only gain about 20 to 25 this time around.

I only gained 23 with DS and am hoping the same happens this time around.

I gained almost 70 pounds with my first (lost it all). I swore I wouldn't do it again this time, but at 12 weeks I've already gained about 10 pounds, so it isn't looking good Tongue Tied

I want to keep my weight down this time. I gained over 50 with DD (partially out of anxiety and being stuck on modified bed rest for months) and I've just gotten it all off. I'm still flabby and out of shape though. I want to keep up my exercise routine for as long as I can, because I know I'll have complications later in the pg and I won't be able to be active.

I am so concerend about this and happy to see I am not alone. I gained 60+ lbs with dd and had to work really hard to get rid of it. I finally reached my pre pregnancy weight this summer almost three years after DD was born!!

I hope to keep it to 25 this time. I have been sick so far and not able to eat a ton so I haven't gained any maybe even lost a lb depending on the scale and time of day. I just know it will only be harder to lose this time being older and having 2 LOs !

I gained 36 with DS, but I worked really, really hard and was able to lose all of it, and then some. Ideally, though - I'd really only like to gain about 25-30 lbs with this one. I swear I put on 5 lbs in the last two weeks alone with DS because I was tired of eating healthy and working out... and all I did was eat ice cream! LOL

Aprilynn0206 · September 2010

Yes- I gained all my weight in my 3rd tri b/c I finally got my appetite back! I lost it all, gained it back, lost it, gained it back. I'm starting this pg 20lbs heavier than I was last time so I refuse to let that happen again!!

Neukim · September 2010

I could have wrote this post!

I gained 55! I lost it all...but I am not doing that to myself again! I want to only gain 20-25. The moment I found out I was PG I switched to eating healthy! No junk food this time I'm due 5-24

I ate like a pig during my first pregnancy and gained 40 pounds (20-25 of it was weight that had to be lost once all things were settled (I have 9 lb babies).

I thought to myself, now now... don't gain so much the 2nd time around.. it wasn't fun having to take off all of that weight. So, I ate healthier and about half as much. I STILL gained 40 pounds. lol. I really don't care that much, and I think bodies just sort of gain what they need to, honestly.

I'm expecting to gain another 40 with this one as well... the third (and final) time I'll have to take off baby weight and I'm fine with it!

I've gotta do what I gotta do to stay comfy, and more importantly, HAPPY during my pregnancy (food=happiness to me lol) Not gonna sweat it! And my OB never has mentioned my weight gain in a negative way to me either!.

janice74 · September 2010

yup, I gained 45lbs last time and I still have 10 to lose (plus another 15 Ibs wanted to lose before my first baby!).

Last time I wasn't working out at all and I also ate SO much (Baskin Robbins was my best friend).

Have been doing 40 minutes of cardio 5x/week for several months now, so I am hoping to keep that up for as long as possible through the pregnancy and I am also hoping to learn from my previous eating mistakes.

With DD I gained 25 lbs. It came off pretty quickly, but then it went back on pretty quickly again.

Mrs.Saxy · September 2010

I gained 40 with DS but I really was pigging out. I am trying to eat better with this one but I've been craving pizza and swiss cake rolls. The last time I had swiss cake rolls must've been years ago but I've had 3 in the last 2 days.

lasnowgirl · September 2010

I was pretty good w/ my 1st and gained 26 lbs. It all came off pretty easily w/ the lack of sleep and bfing. BUT, w/ this one, I'm afraid I will gain a lot more. I already gained maybe 8-10 lbs and I am only 8 wks along!! UGH!! My belly is as big as when I was in my 2nd tri the last time around...sad, sad, sad... So, I will be happy if I can stick to the same weight gain as last time!

m0132 · September 2010

I gained 35lbs with DD and I am hoping to keep it somewhere around the same amount this time. I am scared though, I was just about at pre pg weight when I got pg this time, maybe 3lbs heavier and I just got weighed today and I have already gained like 4 or 5 lbs..I was 114lbs today and actually surprised because my bloat has gone down and I am def not over eating. I remember with DD though I gained 5lbs right off the bat and then gained steadily after that, so we will see how it goes!

Skipperg82 · September 2010

I gained a good 40lb when I was pregnant with DS and I was already heavier than I wanted to be. I only lost about 25lb. of that weight so I'm really trying to be careful this time around. So far, no weight gain but my belly is already much bigger than it was last time.
