    I gained about 29 - 30lbs give or take. During my last week of pregnancy, I started losing instead of gaining. I can't even remember my pre-pregnancy weight.

    My son will be 3 next month and I'm pretty sure I put on most of my weight AFTER he was born. Still trying to loose the last 10lbs!

    CW - 152
    GW - 140ish

    70 pounds and 65 with both boys and 30 to 35 with my five girls. I should mention that the only times that I lost all of my pre pregnancy weight was with the boys. Go figure.

    Gained 50 and I was overweight to start (gained 60% in the second tri-mester). Only lost 30 w/ breastfeeding and it took me about a year to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Now I'm an additional 30 down thanks to MFP!

    I had a mad craving for strawberries all day long and hardly any appetite so that's why I only gained 12 with my first.

    Granted, I had medical problems during my pregnancy. I was on complete bedrest from 4 months on & was in the hospital at 32 weeks pregnant until i delivered at 35 weeks (twins). I had uncontrolled hypertension & severe water retention. I was 160lbs @ 5'10 when I first got pregnant & when I delivered, I was 245lbs. I was a sick, sick girl. Now, 2 years later I am a healthy 156lbs :)

    I gained 50 pounds... but was fortunate that about 35 was gone within 2 weeks (I had a lot of water weight towards the end... plus a 9 pound baby!). I watched what I ate but not as much as I am now... so hoping if i am lucky enough to get pg again that I will gain less! Right now I just want to get back to my pre-pg weight! (I did get 15 pounds below it a few years ago but then gained everything back!)
