    Baby 1: 60-70lbs (I was a teenager when I got pregnant and was told it would all fall right off. BS! Liars... lol. I knew nothing about calories.)

    Baby 2: 15lbs? About that. I was lighter than I started right after the delivery. I exercised 2hrs a day into the beginning of my third trimester.

    Baby 3: 30-35lbs (I think this is closer to "normal" or typical.)

    I gained 11 pound's last time.
    Planning a baby again.

    I had preeclampsia and an emergency c-section at 36 weeks. I gained 88 lbs, but, it was pretty much all water weight. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight 2 weeks after my daughter was born. But, I had pitting edema and the whole shebang. It felt like all I did was pee for 2 weeks.. lol

    I come from a family of women who blow up like inflatable rafts when pregnant. My sisters had 6 children between them, all before 31. They gained vast amounts of weight.

    I waited until 42 to have my son, and overall I lost weight. I was 20-25 lbs overweight to start. I gained 10 lbs. Baby weighed 8 lbs, and who knows how much that darned placenta and retained fluid weighed. So overall...a loss.

    My gain was also during BF as with another poster.

    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!!)

    Not just bloating. There was the baby, amniotic fluid, etc. ;)
