    my first pregnancy i gained 35, my second im not sure how much because it was so close to the first, and i didnt really keep track. possibly close to 40 lbs.
    this last one i gained, and lost 15 of it during birth.

    25 each for my first 2 pregnancies. I got down to pre-PG weight after the 1st. After the 2nd I lost an extra 20lbs. Yeah, then during the 3rd I gained 45lbs ending up at the same max weight. No multiples.

    Only about a stone for both my pregnancies which I lost straight away. BUT put on weight after stopping breast feeding.

    35 lbs with the first.
    17 lbs with the 2nd - but I had not lost all the baby weight from the first so I ended up at the exact same final weight for both pregnancies.

    Both singletons, 8lb. 3oz., and 9lb. 11oz. (born at home!)

    Gestational diabetic checking in here. I have 3. I gained 80 with the first one (yes eight-zero); 60 with the second, and a modest 25 with the third when they finally figured out WTH was wrong with me. So I look at it like this: I've lost 140lb so far. Just need to drop that last round of baby weight. Of course, my baby is 10...:laugh:


    ETA: I can laugh about it now, but seriously: never under-estimate the value of good obstetric care! My ob/gyn for babies 1 and 2 was a quack, and I'm lucky I just ended up fat and not seriously ill!

    I was 126 with the first. Delivered at 136
    Second one, gained to 165
    Third was 205.

    Lost on my own down to 185

    Remarried.

    Fourth baby I was 202.
    Fifth, I don't remember
    Sixth was 265

    Lost 121 lbs, gained it back.

    Fighting my way back down, I have lost 41 so far, 77 to go.

    I gained 52 pounds with my son. He's a year old now and I still have 10 pounds to go before I hit my pre pregnancy weight.
