How much weight total did you gain with your first pregnancy?

julia1818 · February 2012

I gained 40 pounds.. (but that probably has to do with the swelling I had in the last two weeks or so of pregnancy..)

roxyu · February 2012

Close to 50-yowzers! I craved McDonald's cheeseburgers and chocolate doughnuts...not a good combo for your ass! I lost all but a couple of pounds, and have only gained 28 with this one. (Lesson learned.)

PhysChic7685 · February 2012

I didn't keep track of it last time, but I think I gained 50 pounds. I was back down to my prepregnancy weight by 6 months PP (again, I didn't keep track, so I don't know for sure).

AlabamaMamma224 · February 2012

about 30lbs more than the 'recommended gain'..... I feel better when I say it that way. Stick out tongue

smacb · February 2012

70 lbs most of it was before I was diagnosed with GD

AllieBelle1 · February 2012

About 50 lbs. and I didn't lose the last 20, so I started this pregnancy with that extra weight. I've tried to be more conscious of it this time and I'm on track to gain about 30. Still not great, but better.

Monicagail1 · February 2012

This will probably not be a popular response, but I lost 20 pounds with my first pregnancy Embarrassed . The first 10 lbs was due to m/s, and the second 10 lbs came after I was diagnosed with GD and had to overhaul my diet and increase my exercise. I'm overweight to begin with though, so I had extra to spare.

This time I don't have GD, and I've only gained a couple of pounds at 27 weeks.

WildcatPrincess · February 2012

40, but I was pretty puffy at the end. 2 weeks post partum I was down 25.

nickert2000 · February 2012

With my 1st I gained......70lbs! Started at 125lbs ended near 200! I have never been 125 again but I was technically underweight at the time. 2nd baby gained about 50lbs this time I am in the 30lbs weight gain.

The first 2 are boys and this is a girl so I have been saying the boys did not care and just wanted me to eat. This time I have not been as ravenously hungry

FormerlyKrista555 · February 2012

I think it was 40 (we don't own a scale, and I didn't really pay attention at the docs).

This time I've gained WAY less. Not purposefully, I just haven't had the strong cravings this time that I had with my DD.

AngelaParish · February 2012

Lurking (for another day! ) thank you ladies. Some of these gals are making me feel like crap because they are at 25 weeks and saying they only gained something like 8 lbs, 4lbs etc. I have gained between 20 and 23 (depending on the time of day and what I ate the day before) and I know I am on the high end but it makes me feel better to know that I am not alone!

Taryn M · February 2012

I gained 50 pounds with my first. I ate like horribly and that's probably why. With this pregnancy I have only gained about 20 pounds so far and I am trying to keep it as low as possible since I was already a little overweight to begin with.

TKx2 · February 2012

9302006 · February 2012

I gained 30 with my first. This time around I'm gaining slightly more.

Sunkiss028 · February 2012

Sparks in training! · February 2012

ani25 · February 2012

about 30 maybe a little less

LuckyBride06 · February 2012

42lbs...most at the end bc of swelling. So far I gained about 30 with this one.

jgal84 · February 2012

25lbs. I'm on track to gain the same amount this time as well.

acaudill75 · February 2012

I gained 13 lbs with DD#1, and so far I have gained about 5-6 lbs with this one at about 33 weeks. I lose weight while pregnant though from MS.

llc730 · February 2012

Actual net wt gain: 37 lbs. However I lost 6 lbs in 1st tri because of ms an gained that back plus 37 so really I guess I gained 43 overall. This time I am right around 20 lbs over pre-pg wt so far.

sapphirebride06 · February 2012

I gained about 23 pounds but it's hard to know what I truly gained because I was on a Zofran pump and lost a ton of weight so it took me awhile to get back to my normal weight then to finally technically gain some.

With this pregnancy I was diagnosed with GD so I'm following that diet to control my sugars and I've gained 15 pounds but lost 4 in the last 3 weeks so I'm up 11 pounds total and will be induced by next Thursday unless he comes before.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · February 2012

Gained 17lbs. When I got out of the hospital I was 10lbs lighter.

Over 11 months after birth I lost a total of around 40lbs, mostly because of breastfeeding. After I stopped breastfeeding I put 15lbs back on....boo!

So far at 35 weeks with this pregnancy I'm up 23lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I gain about a pound per week.

lucisparents · February 2012

37, and 33 so far with this LO

doodledude · February 2012

I gained 50 with my 1st, but then lost 70... With this one, it's looking like I will gain 50 again by the time I deliver! Embarrassed

Kristinmo · February 2012

30 pounds.

lawmom2be · February 2012

#1 - 19 lbs

#2 - 9 lbs (I am 39 weeks)

I had a little extra maternal fat to start with...but I don't tend to retain water or eat like crap when pregnant, so I just don't gain much.

kywalker · February 2012

I gained about 35-40 and pretty swollen and puffy towards the end I was back down to my normal size within 6 weeks. This time I am probably going to gain about 50 pounds

but I really crave carbs, pasta and potatoes a lot rice and beans so that probably isn't helping with the weight gain!

hewinked · February 2012

40 with my first, 30 with my second.

Angel002 · February 2012

First pregnancy (I was 23, 9 years ago) I gained 60, but I was super swollen too. Last pregnancy (14 months ago) I gained 40, I lost most of it....so far this pregnancy I'm getting close to 40 again. But this time I FEEL bigger than the last time. I think I'm carrying more forward (girl) as opposed to wide (my boys).

acheever14 · February 2012

I gained 20lbs with my first....I'm up 13 with this one and due in about 6.5 weeks.

DragonflyBelle · February 2012

DD#1 - 40 lbs

DD#2 - gained back the 12 lbs I lost in 1st tri and that was it

DD#3 (this pregnancy) - gained 15 lbs

ENev · February 2012

35 lbs

I've gained 30 this time so if this one stays in there til his due date, I'll probably be right around there again.

It came off FAST last time and I'm praying that'll happen again!!

doctor girlfriend · February 2012

50-60, can't remember exactly...

but lost it all and then some after a few months of breastfeeding and walking every day. my family kept telling me they were "worried about how skinny" i was getting. i guess that's how drastic the weight loss was! me? i didn't mind one bit!

sunnyday016 · February 2012

35lbs. Left the hospital down 20 of those though.

soveryexcited · February 2012

50 lbs with DD and lost it all and about six extra pounds by six months post partum (normally I'm 5'4, 130 lbs)- with DS I gained 45 lbs and lost it by 9 months post partum. I'm on track to gain 45 again with this pregnancy. Here's hoping I can lose it faster!
