Curious-weight gain with #2

Did you gain about the same amt of weight with #2 as you did with your first? More, less? When I got pg with DD I was the thinnest I've ever been (it was right after our wedding) so I'm starting out a few pounds heavier this time....just wondering if you end up near the same at the end or what. I'm not working out as much this time since when I was pg with DD I had all the time in the world to workout....this time I have time maybe 2x/wk to get to the gym and I haven't been in about 2wks now for various reasons.

i gained about 5lbs more with Natalie than i did with Eve. I started out about 10lbs heavier too the 2nd time. I also was able to lose weight after the first time much faster..

I was huge with baby #2, and a lot of it was water weight. I was totally freaking out but I dropped a ton of water weight within days of having the baby. Not sure if the season has anything to do with it, but I was preg in the winter only with baby 1 and baby 2 was due in Oct and I was so swollen.

I started 5 pounds less than with dd. But at my 3 month appt, I have already gained 8 pounds, and I didn't gain any by 3 months with dd. But I did gain 50 pounds with dd, so hopefully I don't gain any more than that this time!

I was 5 pounds heavier to begin with when I was pg with DS. I also gained 5 pounds more total, and I'm having a lot harder time getting it off.

I gained 35 with DD and 28 with DS. I started out 20 pounds heavier my first pregnancy even. I lost 25 by the time I left the hospital with DD but only 9 pounds by the time I left the hospital with DS. Three weeks later, I'm only down 14 pounds.

I think I'll end up gaining the same this time (~30 lbs) since I'm up 20 lb so far. I find it kinda strange since I had horrible MS last time and not much this time, but I'm certainly not going to complain about that! I started out pretty much the same weight both times.

I started off the same weight with both kiddos. I gained 41lbs with Justin and 43lbs with the twins. It took me like 3.5 mths to get off my Justin weight. With the twins I was down to pre preg at my 4 week pp checkup.

I gained a little less, but I did not have the swellin issues this time. I actually did not gain much and then one month gained 10 lbs...oops, and it continued on from then. I was in better shape before this pregnancy, then my first pregnancy.

I gained a ton with Charlie (like 70!)

I think I only gained 40 with Paul, not sure (my MW doesn't make patients step on the scale, love her). I'm hoping to stay at that or under this time around.

I started this pregnancy out about 7 lbs heavier than with DD. So far I've gained 10. With DD I gained 35 total.
