    When I was pregnant, I was 200 lbs. I gained 15 pounds during the pregnancy. When I gave birth, not quite a week later, I was down about 20 lbs - so less than I was pre-pregnancy.

    I was 150lbs pre-pregnancy at 5'5"...a bit bigger than I was used to being. I am now half way into 20 weeks and weight 148lbs. I did have severe morning sickness up until about 15 weeks though with lots of vomiting and still have persistent nausea now (at least no more vomiting) :sick: . IDK I'm surprised I haven't gained anything yet as I've been eating more and working out less...like all my workouts are anymore is walking. I did notice I LOOK like I've gained weight though. My muscles are turning into flab :indifferent: My doctor didn't seem at all concerned with my lack of weight gain at my 16 week appointment, I have an appointment on the 6th and am interested what she'll recommend then. I have plenty of friends who hardly gained anything and came out with perfectly healthy babies so I'm not concerned until my OB is!

    With my first child I put on 62lbs (I know :o) but within a week or so of his birth weighing 8lbs I lost 35lbs...over the next few months I dropped weight constantly without trying until I held on to 14lbs of baby weight

    With my second child I put on 23lbs she weighed 7lb 2oz I lost about 7lbs and I lost no more weight

    So with each of my children I gained about a stone (14lbs each) *sighs dramatically*

    I am now about 20lbs down calories in, calories out ... And have about 40lbs more to go ...I will get there though

    I was overweight when I got pregnant, and only gained 14 lbs by eating maintenance calories until the third trimester, when she started putting on real weight (which is when I gained the weight as well). I had a check-up a week after delivery, and was back to pre-pregnancy weight. So definitely possible! Just discuss it with your medical provider and see if they have any advice for you. They can go over what exercises you can do as well. :smile:
