How much weight did you gain while pregnant?

I started at 137 and ended my pregnancy at 195, so about 60lbs. I am 4.5 months postpartum now and weigh 158. The weight came off quickly at first and now I'm having to work at it. It's different for everyone.

I'm appalled at myself to admit this, but when all was said and done, 75 lbs. It was a very depressing and complicated pregnancy (lots of bedrest, resulting depression, and comforting myself with crap food) but she was a perfectly normal and healthy weight and thankfully has no health complications. It took me 14 months to lose the baby weight, but I am now 158 lbs below that maximum baby weight so the only thing she will know/remember in her lifetime is a healthy, active Mama who eats healthy, works out, and leads by example.

Gained 70 with my first. Took 2 years to get back to normal weight. Gained 40 with my second and 1 year to get back. For me I felt sick if I didn't eat.

I gained 15lbs but I also was pushing 290 and considered morbidly obese so my docs tried to make sure I didnt gain any more than that

I gained 17 pounds by her delivery date at 41w. I was told to aim for 15-25 pounds gained maximum due to my starting weight of 210 on a 5'3.5" frame.

My daughter was 7lbs13oz so a great size.

I gained 17lbs my second pregnancy.

I have 10 of those stubborn pounds left to lose, which I lost last summer but found that maintaining it is hard with my schedule wrapping around the little one.

My first baby is 14 years old now, and with her I LOST weight because I was 20 lbs overweight and it was extremely stressful because her dad left me while I was pregnant and I was 21 and in school... Also, she arrived early which probably kept the last month of weight off - I am grateful that she was perfectly healthy.

Gained 45lbs with my twins. I was 113lbs when I got pregnant and lost weight in the first couple of months due to horrible morning sickness. I was put on bed rest at 8 weeks until they were born at 34 weeks and when the morning sickness subsided the only things I was able to do was read, watch TV and eat. It took me 9 months to lose the weight. I gained 35 with my daughter 4 years later, had an easy pregnancy and lost the weight in 6 months. Having a newborn and 4 year old twin boys is a pretty good weight loss program lol. Now doing battle with menopause weight .

I gained 27 pounds with all three of my (successful) pregnancies. Started each time with a BMI around 20. Babies ranged in size from 7lbs3oz to 8lbs5oz...and grew progressively larger. They also arrived progressively earlier, and I imagine if I'd gone a full 40 weeks with number three he would have been a ten pounder.

With baby #1 I was extremely careful with what I ate, but didn't do much exercise beyond walking and a little prenatal yoga (I'd miscarried my prior pregnancy, so I was overly cautious this time). No morning sickness or weird cravings (aside from Chick-fil-a lemonade). I was working a part-time retail job that kept me on my feet, and a part time office job. With #2, I kept busy chasing a toddler around, and had aversions to anything fried or any kind of seafood (now these happen to be my middle child's favorite things to eat). During my last pregnancy, I was exercising regularly...doing everything from zumba to pilates and even a little lifting (nothing too heavy).

My first child, 20lbs, second child 25lbs, third 30lbs.

7 mo pp, I gained almost 60 lbs during my pregnancy, and a good part of it in the 1st trimester.

I didn't get morning sickness, instead my mouth watered like a starving person and I glugged milk like there was no tomorrow.

40 pounds the first time, despite throwing up every​morning and walking several miles a day.

50 pounds the second time.

And... Dun dun dun 70 pounds the final time. Really unsure how I could gain 10-15 pounds on soda crackers in the first trimester alone. But feeling like crap for 34 straight weeks made me not care. He is 5 and I still have 10 pounds left.

Baby #1 gained 36 lbs and delivered at 37 weeks, was at prepregnancy weight by 4 months PP
Baby #2 gained 41 lbs and delivered at 38 weeks, was at prepregnancy weight by 5 months PP
Baby #3, gained 49 lbs and delivered at 40 weeks, was at prepregnancy weight by 3 months PP (weird, right?? I think much of the extra weight gain was bloating because it just all flew off!!)

The least I gained was 23 lbs, the most was 36.

I'm now at about 18 lb gained at 36 weeks. So I'll probably make it to about 22?

40 lbs with first [8.6 lbs]. 24 lbs with second [8.11 lbs] ....threw up ENTIRE pregnancy. He was still HUGE! I was lucky - I lost all but 10 pounds within the first week. And it's a good thing cause I was a little overweight when I got pregnant both times.
