i gained 2 stone after i was pregnant from sitting around feeding all day and feeling hungary. I lost weight in pregnancy due to none stop throwing up.

i gained 50 lbs, but i was a little underweight to start. i lost 20lbs after probably about a week or so and now 6 weeks later i've lost 30 total.

I was underweight when I got pregnant with my first and once I started eating properly again my body seemed to soak up everything, haha, I ended up gaining 90+lbs! I made it back to a healthy weight within a year and then gained less than 30 with my second the year following that as I was at a healthier weight to begin with, stayed active and cut out (most) of the junk. I was back to pre-pregnancy weight within a few months, second time around was much easier!

I actually do not know how much I gained during my pregnancy my doctor asked me if I wanted to be weighed every visit and I said I would rather not so she decided we would not weigh me but instead wanted me to focus on eating healthy and she said if I started to gain too much she would be able to tell. It worked for me, so I don't have a clue.

42 pounds w/ my twins.

17-20 w/ my son... not sure exactly what I weighed when I got pregnant and the last month was TOO stressful for me to remember what my final weight was.....

I gained 50lbs and had a nearly 10lb baby. After the weight stopped melting off at about 6 weeks after I had him, I was 18lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight when he was 8 months old. I breastfed and exercised a little bit. I wasn't in a hurry to get "skinny" again. I didn't gain any weight till my 5th month of pregnancy, after that I gained 10lbs a month!

I gained 25 lbs. I stayed active and ate healthy but didn't obsess over my weight and let my body gain what my baby needed. My daughter is 4 months old and I am 10 lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight thanks to breastfeeding and exercise! If you plan to breastfeed it will really help... it'll help them gain the weight they need and you loose it :) Good luck!

I gainded about 75 Lbs (I was over 215 lbs when I gave birth). My son is now 13 1/2 months and I have lost it all plus an additional 5 lbs. Unless the Dr. is saying something about the weight that you are gaining I would not wory about getting it off. You have a very important job growing the little one and that is all that you should have to worry about the weight can come off later.

Ugh, I gained 60lbs! By the halfway mark, I had only gained 12lbs, but after that I started retaining water and swelling like crazy! I lost 25lbs the first week and then by 3 weeks had lost 40lbs. I've still got about 15lbs to lose to be my pre-pregnancy weight, but I would like to lose more on top of that.

I went from 75kg to 82kg, had a 4 kg baby and went down to 74kg after birth. The only thing I can thank is my all day morning sickness for my dislike of food and lack of significant weight gain. I managed to get down to about 70kg breastfeeding and now I'm back at 75kg and 4 months pregnant. After this baby I have to try really hard to get down to a good weight range - 60 - 65kg for my height.

I gained 37 pounds with both of my pregnancies. I wish I hadn't gained that much though. It was not easy for me to lose it. My daughter is 10 months old and I'm barely at my pre-pregnancy weight. I would like to lose an extra 5-7 pounds before her first birthday.

Hope this helps a bit.

right now I'm 33wks & 3days & i've only gained 15lbs. But some women I know have gained 30-40lbs by the time they were in their 8th month.

A whopping 22 kgs! I went from 60kgs to 82kgs. I'm back to 66kgs but am finding it hard to shift that last bit of weight. I'd be happy to just fit nicely into a size 10 though without the overhang!
