About six mths after my husband and I moved in together we bought a scale and I weighed 210ish. I joined WW and got down to 180. Which was when I got pregnant and WW kicked me out. I took the pregnancy as a free pass and gained 52lbs which put me at 232 at 5'7''. I am down to 162 and have 20ish lbs left to lose before June when we are going to start trying for baby number two.0

I think I gained around 35lbs during the pregnancy, but actually dropped the weight pretty quickly after my daughter was born. I easily fit into my old jeans just a few weeks after the birth. It was the transition to being a stay at home mom from an active full time teacher that caused a lot of my gain. I had access to snacks all day and a lot of time to bake, plus an addiction to reeces mini peanut butter cups.0

With my 1st I ate EVERYTHING and didn't exercise. With my last I ran well into my 3rd trimester. I think my body has a weight it wants to be at when carrying a baby. I got the smallest and in the best shape of my life after I quit BFing #4. It can be done
I dropped the weight really quickly with very little effort both times. With my second I was very quickly back to pre-pregnancy weight but I had a really rough recovery that included PPD & anxiety and a whole other set of issues which basically meant I wasn't eating all that much. I was eating but also nursing and while my supply was fine, the weight dropped off. As soon as I got everything in order, went on anxiety meds, my appetite returned and I gained weight. I really wish I had been more careful at that time and maintained that weight instead of gaining 20 pounds.0 -
I gained 65 lbs with my son birth weight was 7lbs 9 oz . Then I lost some of that right around 10 lbs over the course of 5 yrs pretty sad I now. Then got preg with my daughter and only gained 11 lbs her birth weight was 7lbs 11 oz My doc told me that when I was preg with my son they never tested me for hypo which I probably had 6 yrs prior to my diagnosis.
I agree with whoever said that nursing it normally drops right back off unless you have the some conditions I do. I drop most of the weight with nursing and then when I quit nursing it all piled back on0 -
So far I have gained between 20-25 lbs. I only have about 10 weeks to go so I'm hoping I don't pack on much more. I am REALLY watching my food intake though because I have gestational diabetes (on Insulin).0

I gained 40 pounds with my son and he was born weighing 9lbs5ozs. He will be 7 months next week and I am 3 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. But I am still up an extra 25 pounds that I gained in the 2 years after getting married. My only regret was not starting excersising and eating right after he was born. Instead I didn't start until last month (him 6 months old), and waiting that long I gained back 10 pounds.0
