    Never found my wife so beautiful as when she was pregnant. Don't worry. The weight will come off.

    I just found out yesterday that I am expecting as well! I sure hope I can keep to a healthy eating regime! I already need to lose weight, I dont want to add anymore to my "need to lose" pounds!

    I started out weighing 115 before I got pregnant with my first. Gained a good 65 pounds with her. After I had her I went down to 130. I was perfectly ok with that, I still looked good (my mom said I looked healthier) But I was glad my body did that on its own with no effort from me whatsoever. Then when I became pregnant with my 2nd, I did the same thing, gained a good 65-75 pounds, BUT I ate a lot more fast food and unhealthy things with my second pregnancy. My weight at the hospital before I was induced was 192. At my 6 week post partum I was 180. And now 14 months later, I weigh 169. The weight did not come off as easy as it did the first time. 20-25 pound gain is what is normal and healthy during a pregnancy. I say just eat helthy, exercise LIGHTLY and you should be ok. good luck!

    yea I ate fast food with my first this one i have done more salads and more veggies...... but discouraging considering i know it will be harder to get it off if i decided to let loose lol....I am almost 7 years older than i was when I first got preggo with my first. and technically this one is my third because I lost one at about 6 weeks
