#1 -50lbs, #2 - 40-45ish (lost track), #3 - 25lbs.
*sigh* 60 lb. *blushes with shame*
hi, i'm 13 weeks pregnant and so far, i've gained 16 pounds. with my last pregnancy, i gained total of 40 pounds.
Phew! I gained 50lbs with #1, 40lbs with #2 and 25lbs with #3.....I never really cared I just enjoyed all the eating!
66 pounds.
30 lbs. I gained most of it in my first and early second trimesters. In the third trimester, I gained maybe 5 lbs total. There were weeks that I even lost a pound or two, or stayed the same.
I gained right around 30 lbs with all 3 of my pregnancies. Although, with the first one, it was probably less actual weight and more water weight because I was hugely swollen from preeclampsia. My hands and feet were enormous, and my face was pretty puffy too.
28 lbs.
With my first I gained about 30 lbs. I'm 26 weeks along with our second and so far I've gained 16 lbs. I'm hoping to stop at a 25 lb gain this time. We'll see!
I gainded 40lbs with my son
So far 28 lb - I'm 36 weeks. Think I was similar with my first son, this baby is bigger than him I think though
With my first, only 13ish pounds (but I lost a bunch of weight in the beginning). This time I've already gained 16 pounds and I still have 6 weeks to go.
Oh boy... my youngest is six months old and I'm on a diet right now. Honestly I haven't had much time between pregnancies to really focus on losing weight, but now I am making time for it. The first time I got pregnant I weighed 130lbs... six kids later I'm up to 180! During my pregnancies I gained anywhere between 30 and 50lbs.
I gained 35 pounds with my first pregancy and 40 pounds each on pregnancy #2 and #3.
I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have gained 18 pounds. I think I will probably have gained a total of 25 pounds by the time I reach 40 weeks.
31 weeks with my first and I've gained only 8lbs. ^_^ Doctor said I'm fine...I was worried.
9 lbs.
i gained 80 lbs. I would NOT recommend it. DS is two and I'm still losing it! Atleast the scale is headed in the right direction!
60 pounds from 110-170 in 8.25 months.. :((
Wow!! Isn't this supposed to be a taboo topic?? Yikes! Brave women, you are! I gained between 15 and 25 lb. with each of my 5 pregnancies. I was (thankfully) able to loose it all within a few weeks with nursing around the clock. But my last baby (I was 28 at the time) caused me to gain the most and it's been harder to loose. Age I think causes the weight to be more stubbern. Just my opinion... =)
I've gained about 20 lbs so far and I'm on my 33rd week. It's weird how everyone I know in the US think that's not much but here in Tokyo, I'm considered overweight and I need to cut back on the weight gain.
I'm 21 weeks and 3 days (with my first) and I've gained seven lbs. I am eating everything in sight but I had such bad morning sickness that I actually lose 13lbs during my 1st trimester and then I've had food poisoning AND the stomach flu during my second causing me to lose weight again. It's been a struggle to keep that seven lbs on me. :(
With my #1 I gained 40lbs which was what my doc wanted but I only made it to that much because I had PIH and was extremely swollen. A week later when I had gotten rid of all of the swelling I had dropped 30lbs. With #2 I gained 23lbs. It all came off in three weeks. I was surprised because I thought it would take longer. I figured it would because I was 10 years older with #2.
I'm 28 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and I've gained 15 pounds... hoping to get total weight gain at 25. I gained 98 pounds with baby #1 and finally lost all the weight in time to get pregnant again. lol.
First...I lost 20 something pounds. Then I gained 40. So net gain of 20 pounds. I lost 20 pounds overnight at delivery and then another 10 by my 6 week checkup. So I ended up, out of all that, 10 pounds lighter than I started...and kept loosing! (Too bad I'm now back up nearly to pre-pregnancy weight.... argh...need to get pregnant again...hehe).
