For everyone willing to share... how much did you gain with each pregnancy or have you gained so far?? how big was your baby??
I'm reading about people that have gained 15 - 20lbs and im ssoo jealous...
I started at 116lbs for Lucas (#1) and climbed my way up to 183 the morning i delivered... almost 70lbs  he was a giant 8lbs 12oz and with Alex i gained about 50 and he was a giant 8lbs 13oz but we were all healthy and had quick and easy deliveries (1hr 45 mins & 2 1/2 hrs no pain meds!) Guess my body likes to pack on the pounds, bake big babies, then pop them out quick!

I have quick deliveries as well  Curtis was 5 hrs from waterbreaking to delivery and Dustin was only an hour of pitocin.. both pain med free

Love the quick deliveries... was induced for both boys, for Alex they started pitocin at 8am and the nurse said "maybe we can have a baby by lunch" and i said "nnnooo way am i waiting that long... by 10:30 this baby is out" and he was born at 10:36  mommys know best!! So i dont feel as bad since some of you have neared that 50lb mark... no one seems to come close to the 70lb mark though!! i kept an extra 10lbs from each boy  hoping i can keep it around 30 for #3 and then get back to where i started...

I gained 9lbs with Seamus and 4.5lbs with Kieran. I get bad HG morning sickness that makes it very hard for me to eat anything, I end up having to take medication for months to keep anything down(with Seamus till the day he was born, with Kieran till more then half way through). I loose around 20lbs first, and then after I gain back to prepregnancy I don't gain much.
Seamus was 7lbs 9oz, born at 39weeks 6days (induced for GD, vaginal delivery. Delivery was just over 24hrs long, pushing for just over an hour)
Kieran was 6lbs 13oz, born at 38weeks 3days (c-section for footling breech, obviously a quick delivery  )
ETA: I'm also a plus size mommy (man I would love to be down to 180 again...sad dream isn't it?) so I'm not supposed to gain much weight at all. 10-15 is all they want gained in someone my size, some OB's say not to gain anymore then what the baby weighs. With Kieran I got pregnant I weighed 230, 2 days before she was born I was 234.5.

I gained about 47 with Reid (115lbs to 162lbs) He was born 7lbs 14oz on his due date. I've lost all of the weight, I am exactly what I weighed when I got pregnant with him. I loved every pound of my pregnancy weight!

I gained 44lbs with Liam. He was born at 37 weeks weighing 7lbs 5oz.
I gained 14lbs with Lochlann. He was born at 40 weeks exactly and weighed 8lbs 5oz.
I gained 13lbs with Lila. She was born a few days shy of 40 weeks and weighed 8lbs 14oz.
All were quick, vaginal, pain med and intervention free deliveries. With Lila I didn't even have so much as an IV! From start to finish Liam's labor was 6 hours 49 minutes including 14 minutes of pushing; Lochy's was 6 hours 20 minutes including 10 minutes of pushing; Lila's was 1 hour 37 minutes and almost delivered in the car! I was trying to hold her in so I only voluntarily pushed twice once I was in my room at the birth center.

I gained 37 and Lily was born at 40 weeks weighing 7 pounds 8.1 ounces. I had gained 28, but the last 9 came in the last week b/c of the pre-e. I lost all but 4 pounds within a couple of weeks... and have since put some back on and am trying to lose it.  I didn't have a NCB b/c I had to be on mag, but I had a pain-med free birth.

I gained 5 lbs with my daughter and she was 6 lbs 15 oz's (born at 39 weeks and 3 days my inducement was 32 hours long)
I gained 7 lbs with my son and he was 7 lbs 13 oz's (born at 39 weeks and 2 days inducement was 11 hours long)
I work on my feet, so I was active with both of my pregnancies.. I also worked up to the day before I was induced.. I also had GD so I was on a low carb diet..
What's crazy was with my first, I had a hard time gaining weight.. At that time, I ate whatever I wanted.. I just couldn't put on the weight.. I wish I had that problem when I'm not pregnant.. lol
Oh and when I was induced, my babies were not even ready to come out. My first lasted to long because she was not locked into the canal and they couldn't break my water in fear the cord would come out.. With my last, the nurse pushed down on my belly to push my sons head in the canal and they broke my water then.. I think if I wasn't induced I would have gone to 41 weeks..  My OB doctor told me I would go into labor on my own.. I told him, sure I will.. Never happened..

Gained 50 lbs exactly (125 lbs to 175 lbs) and delivered 5 weeks early, so it would have probably been closer to 60 lbs if I had gone full-term.
My LO was 5 lbs 15 oz.
Even with bf'ing for 9.5 months, I still have about 5-7 lbs to lose to get back to pre-preg weight.

I gained 30lbs with DS and he was 7lb 13oz. I'm sure I've had any weight gain with this one. We don't have a scale, so I'll go by my starting weight at my 8 week appt.
