    I lost weight with all three, all single babies - baby #3 is 8 weeks old and after I had her I was 22 pounds less than pre pregnancy. BUT because I was so sick and on bed rest I got "soft" with each one. Averaged a few months with each to tone back up to where I was before, which is where I am now with this one, trying to snap back =)

    37 pounds both times - both were single births and both were apparently too much weight for me to have gained, according to doctors. Meh, I took it all back off....

    I gained 20, 16 and 12 pounds for single babies. But, I was very overweight when I got pregnant. C-sections all of them.

    I was 110 when I got pregnant, gained about 10 pounds in the first month, developed terrible morning sickness in my second month and ended up at 102 pounds. In my third trimester, I gained 53 pounds (all belly, though) and delivered at 155.

    I gained 45 lbs with my first baby (single) and 25 with my second (single again).

    With my first I was young and naive and kept being told by my grandmother that I needed to eat for 2 and the weight would 'melt away' after. I learned that neither were true and was far more sensible with my second!!

    I gained 65 with my first. At 6' tall & 130 lbs, my doctor told me I was under weight for my height, and that I would probably put on more weight than normal, and that I should keep an additional 15-20lbs after having the baby. 8 years later with my second I gained like 40lbs.

    With my first pregnancy I gained 10lbs and with my second I was -5lbs. I'm pretty sure I never gained much because once I was pregnant I ate healthier foods with the combination of morning sickness lol.

    I had 5 children, the lowest weight was my 4th girl who was induced at 33 weeks and weighted 8 lbs 10 oz. The other 4 were all over 10 lbs, the largest 11lbs 14 oz and I was not and am not diabetic . I was very sick with each one and lost weight but that is not common. Everyone is different but I would say 25-30 lbs would be average weight gain. The reason I mentioned the size of my daughters is that they were, for the most part the weight of some sets of multiples and I had all of them natural.

    23 pounds.

    The girl weighed 10 pounds when she was born and was 23 inches long. I gave birth to a 3 month old.

    I was actually in better shape when I went back to work after maternity leave than I was when I got pregnant.

    I ate crazy healthy while I was pregnant and stayed very active.

    By the time she was two I was at my heaviest weight ever though . . . leaving work and going to the gym just wasn't as important as picking her up from daycare at the earliest moment possible.

    Singletons, 30-35lb gained with each pregnancy. Babies weighed 9lb 5oz (95 percentile, 99th for head size, I remind him regularly) and 6lb 14oz (yep, the second was smaller and is consistently in a lower percentile on the height/weight charts).

    I gained 30 pounds with my son, which was too much, IMHO, considering I'd started at 250!

    I gained around 40lbs when I was pregnant. Pure delicious goodness of pop tarts, mexican food, ice cream and whatever the hell I wanted. I'm surprised my daughter doesn't resemble a poptart actually now that I think about it. Meh. It all turned out alright.

    I only gained 10 because I had gestational diabetes and had to keep carbs low. I was also already overweight at the time, so 10 pounds was perfect.
