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....
So far I have only put on 3 kg, but I am sure it will continue to slowly grow as I get further along. i can feel everything stretching. But i haven't really changed my diet. I still get full very quickly and although I have to admit I have had a few KFC meals and McDonald Nuggets in the last month, I am still eating very healthy. I hope that my weight gain is gradual and not sudden cause I honestly think my skin will split in half if my tummy gets any tighter without allowing for the skin to stretch slowly.
I have to say that I hadn't started to gain weight until I reached about 19 weeks when Dr said I had gained almost 1 kg. I thought I was doing something wrong because I hadn't gained weight. But he said that its quiet normal.
With DS#1 I didn't gain anything I think I lost 5kgs by the end!
With DS#2 I think I gained 5kgs all up!
With this one so far I have lost 16kgs in 15weeks
I put on 11kg with my first pregnancy and lost 1kg in the last week of pregnancy.
I think it depends on how big you are to start with. I started at 63kg and ended up at 73kg. My fundal measurements were behind all the way and I was induced suspecting IUGR at 41.1wks. Bub weighed in at 2.98kg!
This time around I'm lighter to start with, weighing 59kg so will see what happens.
We shall see with this one, but one thing I won't be doing is eating alot of cheese. I endulged in that fror 4 weeks of the pregnancy and ate 1kg of cheese a week! No joke! That month I gained 4kg rofl. Anyway, so I know not to do that again.
I read somewhere that the smaller you are before pg, the more weight you tend to put on, and the more you weigh (higher BMI) the less you put on.
I have have put on 9kg so far and am 32 weeks. pre preg - 67kg, now 76kg.
I was 94kg's before I got pregnant and lost 6kg's in the first 7 weeks... I stayed at 88kg's until the last time I weighed myself at 15 and a half weeks, and since then I've put on 4kg's... I've been 92kg's for the past 4 weeks now, and thats even with me eating everything I can get my hands on and lots of junk food too
I got weighed last week and weighed 64. I started at 58 so thats 6kg so far and I am 28 weeks. Although its mostly in my tummy I am sure. My face, legs and arms haven't changed and my pre pregnancy undies still fit me fine, so thats good I guess.
I still go to the gym about once or twice a week and go into the pool.
Angel Lilah: Started at 82kg dropped to 69kg due to severe HG (put it all back on unfortunately)
Bub #2: Started at 80kg dropped to 78kg and now am too scared to get on the scales as I've been on steroids and eating like a mountain. Off them now and have very little appetite but a very sweet tooth. Being weighed tomorrow so we'll see. I haven't gained too much.
I was 63kg when I fell pregnant and put on 12kg thruout my pregnancy. When I left hospital 3 days later I had lost 10kg already!!! Now 4 months later I am back to my original 63kg!
I was however always a lean built girl......Don't worry about what you gain tho unless it is excessive as that can be dangerous! That's why you will never be weighed by your caregiver throughout your pregnancy as it is not an issue!
Last time round I started at 65 kgs and had put on 21 kgs when DS was born (2 days before due)...this time I started at 67 kgs and have put on 13.5 kgs at 34 weeks (am about 2 kgs under the same time with DS).
Um shamefully enough i started at 88kgs and ended up at 105kgs so that makes 17kgs!! Even worse I have yoyoed since then and after losing 10kgs Ive put * of it back on
