How much weight did you gain during pregnancy? Also, how big was your baby.?

Question

I am three months pregnant and haven't gained any weight except 1 pound. When does the real weight gain start?

Answer 1

The real weight starts at about 6 or 7 months...you have a ways to go yet. Just eat healthy, and don't smoke or drink....that can affect the baby's weight. My daughter didn't gain much overall, and she had an 8 lb 10oz little (ha) girl. I, however, ate like a pig, gained 50 lbs with each pregnancy, and had a 9 lb daughter and a 10lb son. Genetics have a lot to do with the baby's size, though.....I was an 8lb 5oz baby, and my kids' dad was 11lbs. Good luck!!

Answer 2

1st pregnancy- I gained 45 lbs all together. I didn't start gaining weight will 5 months and didn't show till 6 months. My son weighed 8lbs 7oz and was 22 inches long. Lost all my weight within 2 months of having my son :)

2nd pregnancy- I am 29 weeks and have gained around 30 pounds already. I hope not to gain much more.....lol I started gaining weight alot sooner this time, like around 3 months and showed at 4 months. I will probably have another large baby.

Answer 3

With my first, I gained 30 pounds, but he was born at 31 weeks, weighing 4 pounds, 3 ounces. I probably would have gained another 10 pounds or so if I went full term. I'm 20 1/2 weeks pregnant now and gained 11 pounds. I learned my lesson and am eating much healthier than last time. No more eating bags of Doritos and boxes of Oreos all by myself!

Answer 4

With my 1st son I gained 61 pounds, I know that sounds excessive but I really didn't pig out much on food. He was born on Feb 8th of 2003 and weighed 9 pounds 6.25 oz. Then on May 4th 2005, I had another son. I had gained 38 pounds during my pregnancy and he was born and weighed 8 pounds even. I am currently pregnant again and he's due on May 4th 2007! I have gained 17 pounds during this pregnancy

Answer 5

When i was pregnant with my son i only gained 10 pounds the entire time. He was born at 35 weeks weighing 4lbs 15.6oz and was 17 inches long. He was and is healthy. Some people just don't gain alot of weight or you might start putting on some weight around 5/6 months pregnant.

Answer 6

I gained 50 pounds with both of my children. I didn't start packing on the pounds until I was about 5 months pregnant though.

Answer 7

I gained 23 lbs when I was pregnant. My child was 7.3 lbs. I did not see any real weight gain until I was about 6 1/2 mo. pregnant. My sister was almost 7 1/2 mo. It happen so fast with her, it was like she went to bed one night and woke up the next day with a belly. everyone is different, I'm short 5ft3 with a small to average frame. So it could depend on your build. It will happen don't worry.

Answer 8

I lost weight in the first trimester and by the end I had only gained 15lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. My daughter was 7lbs 14 oz. By the time I lost all the water weight I weighed less than I did before I was pregnant.

Answer 9

Good for you. I gained 60lbs with my first and it was relly hard to lose that weight. The baby really gains weight in the last trimester. Average babies weigh between 6 and 8 lbs. Most women gain between 25 and 35 lbs. It really depends on alot of factors ask your doctor for more info. I have had for babies. I have gained from 20lbs to the God awful 60lbs(because I thought I had to eat for 2). Enjoy your experience and your new bundle of joy.

Answer 10

I gained 50 with my first (way too much) he weighed 9 lbs and 12 oz.

I gained 30 with my second and she weighed 9 lbs

the real weight will more than likely start coming in another mnth or so
