I think I gaines about 40 pounds and I didn't even hit the 9 month mark! I got a talking to after I put on 18 pounds between one appointment and the next. Whoops.
I always say 56 lbs., but now I just checked my belly pics (which I labled with my weight) and between my first belly shot - the day I got my first definite BFP - and my last - my due date (Kira was born 5 days later) - it was 52 lbs. Maybe I weighed myself again later and it was 56? I don't know.
40 lbs with 5 weeks to go!! I lost 20lbs right away. I thought I'd drop weight easily because I exclusively nursed for 14 months but I didn't lose a pound! What a lie that was. I need to get my butt in the weight loss thread...but there's probably not enough room for it in there.
I gained 24 lbs with Kaeli. My dr wanted me to not gain more than 15 and well, obviously that didnt happen. She was really worried that I was going to get GD, but once my glucose test came back normal she told me she didnt care if I gained anymore or not.
I gained about 82 with Isabella lost about 40lbs, gained 48lbs with Preston lost 40 lbs, gained 45 with Elizabeth lost 28 and gained 14lbs with Charlotte and lost about 10. So the net gain from all my kids is 80lbs........That is so so so scary!

wow u gained 18lbs between one appt and the next? WOW! LOL..but u certainly lost every single pound of it cause you're as skinny as a stick!
75 lbs I lost 15 or so right away but I'm still trying to lose it. If I would have stuck to my diet after Eric was born, I would have hit my goal weight by now I have a pic of my goal weight pic on my fridge. Definitely makes me think twice about eating something not necessary
Elizabeth, I can't believe you thought you looked fat in that picture! You looked great! I was the opposite... I felt pretty small the day after Thatcher was born... but when I look at the pics of us getting home from the hospital, I look anything but small! I guess I just felt small at the time b/c my belly was deflated compared to what it had been like the day before... but it still wasn't SMALL!
I gained 34 lbs with Thatcher. It took nearly a year, but I'm back at my starting weight, which I never thought would happen. Woohoo! I'll be happy if I gain 30-35 with my next one.
I gained 34 with Jake. I hopefully will gain a little less next time around. I have lost all of it and then some though---I am almost 20 lbs LESS now than when I got pregnant with Jake.
I gained 34 with Alexis. I lost about 20 by the time I left the hospital, and thought I would lose the rest really quickly because I breastfed. Well, it may be true you burn more calories while BFing, but it makes YOU so hungry! I was so hungry the entire time I BFed.
So, as of a month ago I was still about 15 lbs above pre-preggo weight. I lost a few pounds about 2-3 months ago. A few weeks ago I got really motviated to lose the rest of the weight, I honestly had never even made an effort to lose it. I have about 8-9 lbs to get back to pre-preggo weight, but want to lose more than that
