How many kids do you have? Ages? What was your weight gain during pregnancy?

I have three. 3, 6, & 7.

I gained pretty much ~50 lbs with each one, but was able to lose it all within 4-8 months.

    I have two kids, ages 7 and 5.

    With my first pregnancy I gained 11 lbs and with my second I gained 13 lbs. Nope, those weren't typos, yes I had doctors monitoring my weight gain or lack there of. Both of my children weighed 7 lbs 14 oz at birth.

    I have two kids - 3.5 and 14 m. My first pregnancy I gained 55lbs, and my son was born 10lbs 11oz. My second pregnancy I gained 40lbs and my daughter weighed 9lbs 2oz and was born one week early. After number one I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight by 9 months. This time I haven't been so lucky...just 6 pounds to go...I joined four weeks ago with 10lbs to go, so I know I'll get there.

    You are the luckiest person I know. I have one 3 year old. I gained 100 lbs during my pregnancy with her. I thought I was eating for two, so I figured I'd eat for eight- lol. My appetite went WAYYYY UP. All I ate was burger king and cheese. I learned my lesson, though. If I do decide to have more children- I will definitely not eat as much lol. I went from a size 4 to a size 16.

    I have 3, ages 5,3 and 1.

    Pre #1 I was 165. Gained 25lbs, topped out at 190. Got back down to 165 within 6 months.

    Gained 25lbs again with #2, again weighing 190. After #2 I lost an extra 20lbs getting down to 145 within a year (though pretty much diet alone, little exercise).

    Yeah, gained 45lbs with #3 reaching 190 again even though I started 20lbs lighter.

    Got down to 149 by the time #3 was a year, then I started bulking. My ultimate goal is somewhere around 140,

    I have 4 children (3 that I gave birth to)

    My son who is 10 years old (Weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz.) = 27 lbs. gained
    My son who is 7 years old (Weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz.) = 25 lbs. gained
    My daughter who is 3 years old (Weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz.) = 15 lbs. gained

    I lost most of the weight after each, but allowed other things to contribute to my weight gain that brought me to MFP.

    I have two kids, 4 and 2. With the first one I gained 85 lbs. (after the baby was born and everything, I was up 85 lbs!). By the second one (less than a year later, eek!) I was much smarter. After my son was born I actually weighed 10 lbs less than when I got pregnant with him.

    Lol, with the second one I was on the treadmill everyday until I went into labor. My tummy was so big I couldn't reach the buttons. I had to turn sideways to start and stop the treadmill!

    I didn't have any cravings, as odd as it sounds. Like none whatsoever and I ate really healthy meals while pregnant. I know what a boring duck but I just didn't have the cravings. I'm pretty sure that if I had cravings, I would have gained at least 50lbs.

    I was 18lbs up at the end of he pregnancy and my baby only weighed 6lbs 8oz when she was born. So maybe only 12lbs. lol

    I have a 12 yo, 10 yo, 8 yo, & A 3 yo. I gained about 60 lb with EACH pregnancy. Yes that is about 240 lb all together, which is twice what I weigh now ;). But I was lucky to lose most of each time.

    I never really compare gains between women - since each is SO different. Larger women tend to gain less, but then again, I've known lots of skinny girls who only gained a handful of lbs too. Vice versa w/ gaining a lot.

    My body needed the 50 lbs obviously, I didn't eat insane or anything. In fact, I worked out through each. I just packed on the lbs easily!

    I have a 10 and 7 year old. I gained 80 lbs with my first and actually lost 12 with my second, but I have been holding this weight this whole time.. I was 222 about a year ago and have since gained 45 lbs. I'm seriously in a rut! :(

    I don't have kids, but my mom told me she gained between 30-40lbs when she was preggo with me.
    You can only guess how depressed she was when she spit out a 6lb 4oz baby, haha. :)
