How much weight did you gain during your entire pregnancy?
How far along were you when you had your baby?
Did labor start on it's own or did you have to be induced?
If labor did start on it's own, what were some signs to you that you were in labor?
If you had to be induced, what was the reason?
How much did your baby weigh at birth?
Thank you ladies!

I gained 21 pounds, which like 14 pounds came the last two months.
I was 42 weeks when I had my son. O_O...dont even want to get into that one.
Labor started with me at 36 weeks. Doctor wouldnt allow it, gave me pills. Water was leaking at 42 weeks, sent me home. Was leaking again, finally induced.
I had to be induced cause my water was leaking.
My baby was 7lbs, 15 ounces and 21 inches.

Well, with my first child (which was 7 years ago), I gained approx. 10-15 lbs. My labor did start on it's own, but he broke my water to hurry it along since I was already around 6 1/5 cm. As far as signs went, I didn't really have any. I had a job where I was always on my feet so I had an 8 1/2 month long back ache. It just so happens that it was my second day off in a row so I was feel GREAT that day - until they broke my water that is. She was 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 1/2 in. long - beautiful with a head full of hair and worth the whole experience!
While that was my experience with my daughter, I'm currently pg with my second child (currently 36 wks) and everything about it's been different so far.

I have given birth twice and I am 29 weeks pregnant with my third. With my first, i gained 40 pounds (Yikes) and she weighed 7 lb. 15 oz. and was one week late. I had a my cervical membranes scraped as a first attwmpt to induction and it workes. about 12 hours later I began having very strong contractions one on top of the other and this continued for 14 hours until the doctor used forceps and pulled her out! My second was also a week late and was induced with pitocin. Labor was much easier and lasted about 7 hours and he was 8lb 9oz. I only gained 19 ponds with him.
I am now almost 30 weeks and have already gained 30 ponds...but had no morning sickness and a very healthy appetite! This one is a girl and this is the first pregnancy where I have had Braxton Hicks Contractions....so I hoping that this one will be on time, not induced, and more "text book" than my last 2.

Baby number 1 I gained about 10 kg, baby number 2 I gained over 30 kg! I was induced with number 1 @ 40 weeks (due to complications during pregnancy) and baby number 2 was 5 days over due and labour started naturally after having reflexology done!! I started cramping in the morning and they just got worse over the day so I knew I was in labour. Baby number 1 weighed only 6lb 4oz and baby number 2 weighed in at a hefty 10lb 12oz! (born by emergency c-section) Not looking forward to number 3's birthweight!!

I gained 50 lbs with my first...60 if you count the 10 I lost right off the start from all day sickness....So far with this pregnancy i have gained 20lbs and I am almost 25 weeks
I had my first baby at 41.5 weeks
I had to be induced because I wasn't going into labour on my own.
My son weight 10lbs 11oz at birth, and 2 feet long. It is looking like this one is going to be just as big if not bigger.

I gained right at 30 lbs with both my pregnancies.
I was induced exactly a week early, both times for convience sake. My son was due Xmas eve, so we wanted to get out of the hospital, plus my mom was coming to town. With my daughter I wanted to make sure someone besides my husband would be available to look after our son. Plus my husband has a hectic work schedule, and I was afraid he wouldn't be able to make it to the labor. Being induced has been great!
Both my children were born very healthy. My son was 7lbs 12oz and my daughter was 8lbs 14.5oz.
With both labors, I went in around 6 am and my son was born just after 4, and my daughter just after 5. They were great!

I gained 54 pounds during my pregnancy. I had my son by C-section. I did not have pain before the delivery, but sure did afterwards. My due date was December 25, but I had my son on December 18, so I would out of the hospital by Christmas. My son was breach the entire time I carried him and he was my first child, so my doctor wanted the C-Section for our safety. My son weighed 7 pounds, 15 and 3/4 ounces and was 22 inches long. His head and chest were 14 inches around, so I am kind of thankful for the C-Section.
