How many pounds did you gain in your pregnancy?

I gained 60 with my older daughter, rapidly loosing it breastfeeding and exercising after her birth. I gained 30 with my second daughter and am still working it all off 8 months later with breastfeeding, exercise, and diet, as well as chasing 2 children all day. Every body is different, as well as every pregnancy. I just try to keep in mind that it took 9 months to put it all on and that I should give myself at least 9 months to get rid of it all again.0

Gained 53 with the first and 47 with the second...ouch! And I'm only 5'3"! Took me about 4 months each time to lose it -I stall at around 145 and am stuck with 20 to lose on my own. Just met my goal after the second pregnancy and am trying to lose an extra 10 on top of that. I figure, why stop now??0

I gained 40 for my first, 24 for my second, and 16 for my third. Of course I was bigger each time I got pregnant. I currently weigh 40 pounds more than I did the day I found out I was pregnant for my first child, and that was 8 years ago. Not so good :ohwell:
Sounds like me!! I gained 40 with my first and 17 with my second. I currently weigh 30 more than I did when I found out I was pregnant with my first and it was over 6 years ago lol0 -

27 lbs...I was a size 16 when I got pregnant and barely gained any weight until June last trimester. Didn't even look pregnant. And the heat hit and I swelled up like a balloon...and then pee'd it out the day after I gave birth.
My daughter weighed 6 lbs 5 oz.
And then ate my way through pans of english toffee that November dealing with a newborn and 400 level college classes and gained 7 lbs.
And then graduated, got a desk job and gained 10 more.
I weighed 197 when I got pregnant. Its four plus years later and I weigh 206.6...still struggling to get if off but keep on keepin' on every day!0 -
18 lbs, 15 of that was in the last 6 weeks. My son was 7lbs 3oz and by the time he was 6 weeks old I had gained an additional 30 over my delivery weight (post-partum depression on top of a very sick baby).
He will be 8 years old tomorrow :sad: and I'm about 9lbs from my pre-prgenancy weight. I haven't been below 160 since before I got pregnant with him.0 -
25 total. Most of it was right at the end. My little boy was 8lbs. 5oz and I dropped at least 12lbs right after. Lol.0

I gained 40 lbs when I was pregnant with my son. Of that, 20 of it was gained during the last month and he ended up being just under 9 lbs at birth.0

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!

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.0

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!0

I gained 12 with my first pregnancy and 22 with my second.0
-
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.0
-
about 30 with both of them.0
