DD1 I put on 15 kgs..I had heaps of fluid retention, and I did not get back to my pre-preg weight of 65kgs before falling pregnant with angel baby. When I lost bub I was 72kgs, then fell pregnant with DD2 (only 2 weeks post d/c), lost 5kgs due to ms and then gained 13kgs. Either way I ended up 80kgs for both girls.
If you are being sensible and doing everything in moderation then don't worry, your body is doing a very important job and don't stress after you have bub either. There is plenty of time to get back in shape. It has taken me 8 months after giving birth and getting used to having 2 children to even feel like getting on my treadmil.
With Devrim, i gained 20kgs. I was told to eat lots from my mum and dad so i could have a big baby. The day before my c/s with Devrim i weighed in at 90kgs. Had Devrim, got weighed at the hospital and was still 90kg. I thought WTF? Told the nurses that there were few more babies in there and to get them out! I struggled with the weightloss.
With Ela, i only gained 10kgs. I just couldn't eat. I shed the 10kgs in a few weeks but ate it all back as i was told to eat lots so i could have a good supply of breastmilk.
Devrim weighed 3.210kg = 7pounds 5 and i gained 20kg
Ela weighed 3.310kg = 7pounds 5.5 and i gained 10kgs
Mum always threatened me that if Ela came out a 2kg baby that she ain't looking after it as i had gained such little weight but i proved her wrong!!
The weightloss has been tough second time round and have now lost 17kgs since Jan 08 with another 5kg to go....
