How Much Weight Did You Gain During Your Pregnancy?

I was watching a show on TLC tonight and a pregnant woman on there gained over 100 lbs while pregnant.

Whoa.

How much did you gain?

With my son, I gained 7 lbs, my first daughter I gained 11 lbs and with my second daughter I gained 28 lbs.

I have a tiny friend who gained at least 70 pounds with all 3 of her pregnancies, crazy!  She was one of those girls that lost it all in a couple months too, grrr. :)

I gained about 30 for both of mine.

I think I'm still carrying baby weight from when *I* was a baby.

My first pregnancy I gained 18, then lost 6 in my 3rd trimester, and ended up gaining 12 lbs total, and going home at or just below my preprgnancy weight right after delivery.  I was super sick the entire pregnancy, I wouldn't recommend it...

All of the others I've gained 35-40 lbs, and always lost it within 6-8 weeks.  My sisters aren't thrilled with me about that, but I'm sure not complaining.

Ok, I think I kept 5 lbs or so from number 7... metabolism slowing down in my old age, I guess...

How on earth did you only gain 7 pounds?!!  That's insane.  I gained 47 with Addyson, and 34 with Colton.  Still carrying at least 10 of the 47 from Addyson.  All 34 from Colton is gone.

Goah lay.. who on earth only gains like 7 lbs! I gained almost fifty lbs!! I blew up.. I mean I was so big so quick I looked like I had just backed up to an air hose and let it blow me up! It was terrible. I have lost it all now but about 5lbs. That five lbs drives me bonkers too.. it sits right around my middle.

If I have another one I def. wont be gaining that much weight.. lesson learned!


So far I am 19 weeks and I have gained about 10 pounds. I am starting to see it on my face now in the mirror which is freaking me out just a little bit.
