How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy?

Question

If more than one child, how much each time?

Answer 1

38 lb, 35 lb, 35 lb

Answer 2

With my first pregnancy, I gained 30 lbs. With this one, I'm at 7 1/2 months and I've gained 30-31 lbs. But I'm not worried because I started out weighing less with this one, so it's normal that I would gain a little more.

Answer 3

First about 70 lbs, but I was under weight, second about 60 lbs, third I gained 45 lbs and I am now pregnant with twins and have gained 20 lbs and am 26 weeks along. But with twins they want you to gain 45 lbs at least. I lost it every time though. When I got pregnant this time I weighed 121 lbs and am 5 foot 7 inches. I was never overweight though, since I have always been very thin, my doctors would never say anything. I wouldn't recomend this for most though, I have to admit I am lucky, I have a high metabolism and am thin by nature.

Answer 4

I'm not done my pregnancy yet but I'm at 39 weeks and have gained 19 pounds. Hopefully not too much more in the next week or two. They estimate baby to be 8.5 - 9 pounds. I was really sick though through most of it and even had to take diclectin to help with "morning" sickness. Would prefer to gain more and do away with throwing up so much :)

Answer 5

I gained 65 lbs. during my only full term pregnancy. I also ate pizza 5 times a week and take out/fastfood at least once a day. I don't really advise the "I'm pregnant and don't care what I eat" method.

Answer 6

40 lbs. I was 135 pre-pregnancy and left the hospital at 155 lbs. I was back to pre-pregnancy weight 3 weeks after that and now I'm at 123 and my baby is 8 months old. I think breast-feeding helped me shed the pounds quickly.

Answer 7

1st kid - I lost some weight (a couple pounds) and I didn't really eat a lot of junk during the pregnancy. Ate loads of fresh fruit as it was one of my cravings. :-)

2nd - lost weight but unfortunately, gained a bit weight back on a few months later after birth. Stressing out and not having time to eat properly so I tend to end up snacking on the wrong things! Hmph.

Answer 8

I gained 45 pounds - my baby was 9 pounds 8 oz. I had morning sickness so badly at the begining I lost 17 pounds!! So I didn't worry too much about the 45 pounds. Plus I lost 32 of them just giving birth!! I lost the rest pretty quickly after.

Answer 9

I gained 30 pounds Total with my baby. But lost the thirty within the first month after giving birth.

Answer 10

35 lbs with the first, and 30 with the second. The good new was because I was nursing, I lost 40 lbs after both within 9 weeks!

Answer 11

With my son Dillon I gained 66 pounds

With my second pregnancy, Kendal, I gained 25 pounds.
