Weight Gain

If you don't mind answering, how much weight did you gain throughout your pregnancy and how much did you lose with the birth of your baby when you left the hospital? I'm just curious to see what everyone's experience was.

I suppose I should add that I am 37.5 weeks and have gained 27 pounds so far.

With Emma I gained 58. I had a C/S so I retained fluid more. I was down 28 or so when I left the hospital and after a month I had 15 more to loose.

This time I gained 25 so far (25 wks) Im aiming for 40.

To be honest I have not added anything, but I THINK I'm up about 25-27 pounds... I am 31 weeks along...

I gained 30 lbs. When I left the hospital the last thing I thought about was to get on the scale. But at three weeks pp I had lost it all. (Note- cld still not fit into clothes, your body is just not the same) Now 4 months after, I am starting to pack it on again thanks to OREOS and other assorted goodies!!!

Re: Weight Gain

I gained 37 with Luke and about 19 or 20 with Tara. Everyone gains different. I have a friend who just had her baby this week and she had gained about 50 lbs.

Im not sure how much I lost either time but I do know that 10 days after I had Lukie I was wearing pre-preggo pants. With Tara, I had a c-section and my body was all messed up (swollen belly, stitches) but you'd be shocked at how much you drop in the 2 weeks post-delivery. It makes sense that you'd lose alot of weight but if you've never been preggo before, it probably would seem strange to drop 30 lbs in 2 weeks.

I gained 45 pounds during my pregnancy and I've lost 35 pounds. I had my daughter August 12th. I just started weight watcher two weeks ago. I am still not in regular jeans yet.

Re: Weight Gain

Im so embarassed to say I gained about 60 pounds!! I still cant believe it! I was doing pretty well but all of a sudden at the end all this weight came on.. and I was still active.. I think it had to do with I had NO appetite all day long and then at 2 am was STARVING and stuffed my face and went to sleep. It was also middle of winter and I wasnt moving around like I should have
