How much weight did you gain?

[Karina]

gained about 3 - 4kg. I did lose about 5 kg at the beginning of my pregnany as I had bad morning sickness. I was around 50 - 51kg when I got pregnant, went down to 45kg. 4 days before my daughter was born, I was 54kg and then about a week after she was born I was 45kg again.

[Jaycee]

I put on around 18kg, I was 43kg pre-pregnancy, was around 61kg a few days before he was born and was back down to 48 a week after he was born. I now weigh 41kg, so smaller than before I was pregnant, but I put that down to breastfeeding and eating healthier!

[KimB]

I put on 30kg with my 1st and thought WTF. I was working full time and eating healthily and it took ages to lose. With my other 3 I only put on about 12kg and with this one I haven't put on any weight so far and I'm 28 weeks now.

Here's hoping that I only put on 1-2kg and lose heaps when I have this one lol.

I was overweight before falling with this one too so reeeeaaalllyy want to lose more : )

[JordieC]

I put on 18 kg with Mackenzie. Lost a fair bit straihgt up and am now about 2-3 kg less than I was before I got pregnant. In saying that I was pregnant before that and had m/c so never had chance to go back down. I didn't eat for 2 - I used to get too full but I ate more often and DEF ate WHATEVER I wanted!!! Still do really - breastfeeding has wroked for me - imagine how skinny I would be if I actually exercised and ate healthy all the time!! I'm about 72kg at the moment.

[2CheekyMonkeys]

over 20kg with DD1 and took about 2 years to get back to pre-pregnancy shape. just in time to fall pregnant and do it all over again! i soooooooooooooo hope i dont put on that much this time round... or at least loose it quicker!

[MummyDuck]

25 kgs. Most was water retention. I lost it all by the time DD was 2 weeks old.

[Indadhanu]

20kg for me, and its been 4 weeks and I'm 66kg - I've lost all but 5kg now, and am 10-12kg from my recommended weight. I blame choclate, though it doesn't stop me from eating it (need the caffiene and happy hormones!!!!!!).

[Mum0809]

With DS i put 35kgs, I loss 20kg in the first week after I had him. Still got 12kg til I am back to pre-pregnancy weight. Then I need to lose another 25kgs .

[Shanti]

I've put on about 7kgs already since falling pregnant....... is that bad?!?!
I put on weight VERY easily and have not been eating for two.... I am still eating the same as i was before.....if anything i don't eat enough!

I'm too scared to jump on the scales... haven't for about 2 weeks

[Cassius2]

I put on 15kgs!!! couldnt believe it!

I put on about 10kgs by 20 weeks then removed the scales from my house! Interestingly though, I only put on 14kgs in total, just mostly in the first 20 weeks (like you) so don't worry too much Renstar as not everyone gains it all at the end. Same happening this pregnancy. I excercised and ate less than I should throughout pregnancy but gained the weight I "needed". I am naturally small to start with and found I gained weight very easily - "laying down the foundations" to carry the baby as my mother so delicately puts it. All was lost by 1-2mths post baby without doing anything other than breastfeeding (and worrying, if that counts!).

[fionas]

2kg by week 32 and 6kg all up.

BUT I was about 10kg overweight when I got pregnant. I was rapt though as I'd been immobilised with an unstable pelvis at Week 28 and couldn't exercise but just ate sensibly (and of course very, very little alcohol).

Literally lost 10kg the night when I got home from the hospital. I was so excited I kept hopping on the scales and every half an hour, another kilo was gone. I've never seen anything like it.

So now I'm about 5kg less than when I got pregnant.

[SweetPea]

With the first pregnancy I put on 15 kg and this time at 35 weeks I've put on 14 kg, so I'm guessing I'll be a few kilos heavier by the end!

[belfie]

I was about ~10kg overweight when I got PG. I'd put on 5kg by 24 weeks, and then have fluctuated gaining/losing/gaining .5 kg since then... so really only 5kg total so far which has surprised me (first half of PG - ate what I wanted, was on "rest" for 2 mths, second half of PG, GD, eating more carefully, little exercise due to hip/back).

I'll be interested to see what I weigh post-baby!

[paradise lost]

Before PG i was about 97kg

At 11weeks i was 95kg

At 34 weeks i was 95kg

At 41+3 (day before birth) i was 101kg

On day 4 PP i was 95kg

by 4 months PP i was 77kg.

I was carrying 5-10kgs more than I should have before I got pg with Isabelle and put on 15kgs with her all up - lost it all in 10 days although my weight seemed to have all shifted to weird places This time around I have put on 15 kgs already so will be closer to 20kgs all up eeekkkkkkk!
I'm glad this bub is due while weather is getting nicer - it will make it nice and easy to get out and walk it all off!
Renstart - I put on the most and fastest weight (10kgs) in both pregnancies by around 15 weeks so don't stress hun, you may fnd it eases up especially if you are eating well. (My diet is pretty shocking at times while pg I tend to crave fatty/salty take away and indulge about once a week.

[Shanti]

Thanks Tan & Jac!!

Tan - me too crave fastfood at least once a week like Maccas can't help it!! but generally eat well.

I'm glad not all women put on weight in 3rd trimester hopefully i won't put on too much more although if i do i do, i'll just have more work to do after!!!!

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.
