many women gain large amounts of weight durring pregnancy.
my ex wife gained around 10lbs through our pregnancy and quickly lost it postpardom. I am affraid that when i am remarried that i may have unrealistic expectations of how much they should change after giving birth. How many women put on more than 10-15 lbs through a pregnancy? or is this average?

Well, I put on 50 lbs. exact!! However 2 and a half years later I am now 7 lbs. lighter than when I got pregnant. Lucky me I suppose. But even after weight falls off don't expect a woman's body to ever look the same, no matter how many sit-ups and side stretches I haven't gotten rid of this baby section. Patience is a virtue, remember a few pounds is a small sacrifice when it comes to a beautiful child. That's just more of her you'll have to love.

There are many reasons why women can gain weight.... I gained about 60 pounds with my son because of problems that he was having... It was all water weight... So it is not very uncommon for a women to gain more than 10-15 pounds.... Although the doctor can monitor what is going on if too much weight is gained.

More than 10-15 pounds is average. Actually, aside from what the medical community says, 30-50 pounds is really average. It depends on the woman's health beforehand and how she takes care of herself during her pregnancy. I had problems with my hips spreading and causing severe joint pain during the second half of my pregnancy and that caused me to gain a lot of weight, since walking or even putting on pants was absolutely excruciating. Breastfeeding after really helps take the weight off, by the way.

10-15 lbs is actually not enough. A woman should gain between 25-35 lbs. Thats the healthy average.

10-12 kg weight gain during pregnancy is absolutely normal. This occurs because of additional weight of baby, placenta, membranes . Hormonal changes cause additional fat deposition.
try to loose it after delivery. lactation itself helps to loose some weight.

everybody's body recovers differently- if it's a skinny women that you want for life-put it in the pre-nup and for sure- just don't get her pregnant....I put on 20 pounds after having my two boys...but then so did my husband. (HA!)..go figure.
Finding a wonderful person to spend the rest of your life with is much more important than how much they weigh....my brother ended up in a wheelchair after losing both legs to diabetes....his wife who was suffering from breast cancer took care of him untill he eventually died of kidney failure- it changed the way I looked at relatiionships- and my own body image, just being healthy and able to have sex with my wonderful healthy husband is magic!
