    One daughter who will be 2 this month.

    I gained only 18lbs.

    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 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. :)

    I have 5:

    21: gained about 65+ pounds
    19: Gained less than 20
    11: Gained less than 20
    8: Gained less than 20
    6: Gained less than 20

    My curvy body isn't because of my kids, it's because of my love for fast food. :/

    I have 2 beautiful boys. One will be 6 in March, and I gained 16 pounds with that pregnancy. I was very healthy and in really good shape, and stayed in shape through the entire pregnancy. My baby is almost 7 months old, and I gained around 50 pounds with that pregnancy. I wasn't in shape at all and was already overweight when I got pregnant. I had gestational diabetes, and was on light duty through the whole pregnancy due to hypertension. I lost some of the weight to begin with, but turned around and gained it all back and then some. I'm gonna get back to my ideal weight by the time I'm done with this journey though.

    I have one daughter who just turned 2 on Jan 4th. I weighed 190 when I got pregnant with her, gained 42 lbs, dropped down to about 193 9 months postpartum, but then couldn't figure out how to lose more and climbed up to 197 last May. Then I started eating differently, found the 30 DS and this website and now I'm down to 154 and looking to get down to 145! I actually am excited about getting pregnant again later this year and going through the whole experience almost 50 lbs lighter and this time I'll know how to lose the weight.

    I have had 6 pregnancies and 4 children, I gained 40-50lbs with each one, and with post partum depression I got bigger because of the separation...

    I did the same thing, I didn't watch what I ate and figured that what I do gain will come off during breastfeeding. And I regret it now, next pregnancy I will def. make sure I eat healthy, exercise more, and keep in mind that while I have a little one growing in me, that little one doesn't eat as much as an adult! lol
