how much weight did you gain when you were pregnant?
i happily ate for 2 and gained 55 pounds lol
my midwife NEVER TOLD ME TO LOSE WEIGHT EVER. she just told me i was making it harder on myself lol
8 months PP i have finally lost it all woot woot!

With my first, I gained 30. (went from 98 lbs to 128) With my 2nd, I only gained 16. This is with my son. The other is with my DD. You can't tell, but I was almost 7 mths pregnant with her. I barely began showing around 7.5 mths and looked about 4 mthd pregnant when I gave birth.



last pregnancy - about 50/60 pounds, this pregnancy so far i've only gained back like 10 pounds out of the 40 or so i lost my first couple of months. so i'm still lighter now then when i got pregnant to begin with. i lost around 100 pounds between the two pregnancies.
hmmmm...
I went from about 150 to 214 when I had my son, but the majority was baby @ 9.5lbs, and water weight.. my legs & feet were so swollen I could hardly walk and by the time I got home from the hospital I was 190..
I was also basically on bed rest the whole time because of my chronic pain issues. If I was able to do any physical activity I wouldn't have gained so much, but I couldn't - so I did..
:(
I am down to 135 now 3 years later.. But I got down to pre-preg weight after about a year.
Well..I had heart surgery a month before I got pregnant and lost 20 lbs...so I gained 20 lbs during my pregnancy...but, I was at my "normal" weight when I delivered. I gained 15 with my second. I gained 40 AFTER kids...go figure...
i was 130lbs at the beggining of both my pregnancies and at the end weighed 150 with my first and 152 with my second. not so bad i guess..
With both of my pregnancies I only gained a total of 16 lbs. I was very healthy and so were my children, both over six lbs at birth and both were premature. I ate very well through out my pregnancy, did a lot of yoga and walked. I didn't "eat for two" I ate enough to sustain both my life and the life of my child.

This was exactly one month before I had my oldest.

the day before I had my youngest.

with my first son i gained 32lbs was 114 when i got prego with him..lost it all and dropped to 92 within 3 months pp...so far with this one i have only gained 13lbs so i am up to 120 now....hopefully i can keep some of the weight on after i have him! :)
I gained 29 lbs. I lost all of it plus 15 lbs, WITHOUT starving myself.![]()
