how much weight did you gain whilst pregnant

[n3wmummy]

i was 42kg when i first found out i was pregnant

1 week before my due date i was 68kg

[Ffrenchknickers]

I generally put on 18-20 kilos...although with number 2 it was only 12. I am 52kilos when I am not pregnant and I eat well and exercise through my pregnancies and I lose weight scarily fast when breastfeeding so I figure my body just needs to do what it does...as much as I don't enjoy getting heavier.

[IndigoJ]

I was 62kg when i fell pregnant, lost 2kg in the first 3mths then put on 25kg. I was 85kg at my last antenatal on the tuesday, i delivered on the sunday. DS was 4.41kg of that.

[SassyMummy]

7kg for a 4.67kg baby.

A week after I had her I weighed myself for the first time, and I had lost all of that 7kg, plus another 7kg on top of that.

I had a very strong sense of smell during pregnancy that made it difficult to eat unhealthily. Bland food was mostly all I could tolerate... so I ate a lot of steamed veg and grilled meats.

[breechmumma]

I started at 63kg. I lost 1.5kg at the beginning. The week before I gave birth I had gained 10kg from my original starting weight. So 73kg at the end.

[Chaton]

I was 67kg before becoming pregnant. I'm at 75kg so far but haven't gained anything in about 6 weeks or so.

[lou247]

I was 60kg before i fell pregnant and full term i was 67Kg for a 3.5KG baby.

Took about 3 weeks to get back to my normal weight.

[BoyCrazy]

i was 56kgs before falling preg with ds2...when i gave birth i was 83kgs!!

so i put on 27kgs!! i ate healthy too!

now almost 1year on, i have lost 25kgs, and have 2kgs to go to my pre-preg weight :D ( i put those 2kgs down to bigger boobs for breastfeeding LOL) ;)

eta my bub was 3.3kgs

[The Fox]

I put on 20kgs and DS was 3.6kgs of that, within about 3 weeks i had lost 10/20 kgs

[~BEXTER~]

I started at 74 kilos in the first trimester I went down to 60 kilos due to sever morning sickness, I walked out of hospital weighing 93kilos :gloomy:
so in the last 3 months I put on 33 kilos.

Keiara was a 7 pound bub so I think around 3 kilos.

This time round i am almost 22 week and have not changed in weight :smiliedance::smiliedance:

[dancingchipmunk]

I naturally hover around 50 - 52kgs when not pregnant.
With DS1 I put on approx 25kg and with DS2 it was about 27kg.
Breastfeeding seems to be the trick for me when it comes to loosing weight though as I haven't had too much trouble getting rid of it (plus a pretty good metabolism from dads side of family).

[Mum2Mimi]

i was 52kgs pre baby, 4days before i gave birth i weighed in at 72.5kgs so i gained a lil over 20 which i think is the norm,i lost all the weight rapidly,2days after giving birth before i discharged from hospital i weighd myself and was 56kgs so only had 4kgs to loose with bf i think i lost that in the first 3months but am now 53kgs so 1kg heavier but meh,close enough for me :)

[Lemonhead]

I was 58kg when I fell pregnant and 89kg on my due date. I gained over 30kg :o but I have dropped it all now and am even lower weight than I was pre-pregnancy :D

[Katcha]

I gained 12kg both times. First time went from 50kg to 62kg, 2nd from 48kg to 60kg.

[Mummy2Kobi&Hailee]

pre pregnancy = 73kg

10 weeks pregnant = 64kg (due to sever morning sickness needin hospitalization0

Day of c-section = 98kg

6 weeks later = 74kg.

total gain= 34kg

bubs was only 3.1kg of that had heaps of fluid they say.

[cherrie73]

Started at 61kg - lots of fluid due to fertility meds - usual weight 55kg
Went down to 53kg by about 12 weeks - bad morning sickness
Ended up at 64kg - c section at 39 weeks - DS was 2.985kg
Went home from hospital after 5 days weighing 52kg so it has been all a bit weird!

[TacoFest]

Start weight 52 kgs. I was 65 kgs the day I delivered so I put on 13 kgs. I was 57 kgs when I was discharged from hospital but I lost those 5 kgs within 3 weeks. This pregnancy who knows! I was 52 kgs when I fell pregnant but am down to 48 kgs from severe ms

[Bambibambino]

I gained 7-8kg, bub was nearly 4kg. 2 weeks after birth I had lost 16kg

[mestiza]

I was 49/50 kgs pre-pregnancy gave birth in October and after that I was 60kgs, so about 20kgs in total :hair: my daughter weighed 6lb 12oz at birth, was totally surprised!!

... all them food cravings! :laughing:

[baby no 2]

i was 56 kg pre pregnant, and had severe m/s so lost 7kg the first 16 weeks and then gained 11 kg the rest of the term.......

this pregnancy started at the same 56 kg and now 25 weeks and 63kg, had m/s this time too.................

[TripleTime]

Started at 55kg, lost 7kg in the first 12 weeks. At 23 weeks, id gained 13 kgs. Dont know what id gained by the end at 28 weeks.

[TurnedBatty]

23 kilos first time round. I'm just below that track line this time, only put on nine so far instead of 11/12, so hopefully I stay below 20 kgs this time!

[NUBA]

15kgs. i too lost weight in first trimester.

[Yum Mum Amanda]

I was 64 at the time of my pregnancy and then lost 7 kgs after that.

[oleander]

I started at 45kgs, put on 20kg and lost it all within 3 months. I breastfed DD until she was 3yo and after I stopped I gained 5kg, so now 50kg and Im happy with the weight gain. It looks better.

[peanutbutter&jelly]

With DS around 10kg, with DD 2kg, started heavier, but DD is 12 weeks old and I'm 15kg lighter than the day I found out I was pregnant :D And I'm not massive either, I'm 66kg at the moment.

[bunkx]

i gained 12kg with both pregnancies and lost all my baby weight within a couple of weeks of birth:)

but now i have put on 12kg so weighing the same my term pregnancy weight :hissy:(stupid pill)

[Justboys]

DS1 42kg got up 49
DS2 43.5 got up 52

Both times went back to my same weight! :yes:

[JustUs3]

I put on about 10kgs and lost it within about 6 weeks.

[lavishka]

When i first found out i was pg at 5 weeks, the Dr weighed me and i was 52kg. I ended up gaining 35kg. Only had a 7pnd 3oz girl!!

I got married the next year and lost some of it got down to 61kg.

Now I am 6/7weeks and my gp weighed me at 4wks 5 days and i was 77.7, I really hope i do not gain that much weight again. :fingerscrossed:

[Casslee]

I was 62kgs when i fell pregnant with my 1st, i put on 22kgs, lost 11kgs in the 1st week after birth then been up n down since.
Then when i was pregnant wit my 2nd i was 72kgs and put on 14kgs, lost 9ks in the 1st week after birth so after 5wks im 74kgs, now ive gota lot of work ahead of me as i would love to get bk to 62kgs, how i was before kids.:laughing:

[Slapmyelbow]

16kgs... but i lost 5 to begin with, the doctor did a bit of tsk tsk'ing to me.. then i stacked it on once the MS was over.. got the tsk tsk'ing again:confused:

It all came off though... yay for booby monster bubbies!

[Bellini]

I gained about 14kg. I started off at 60kg, and at 37 weeks I was 74kg. I gave birth at 37+2.

I weighed 63kg a week later and a month after he was born I weighed 56kg :confused:

[SweetSerenity]

With DS I was 70kg at the beginning and put on 20kg which put me up to 90kg. A lot of that was FAT!! :yes: I ate like crap during his pregnancy when I was working.

I lost 8kgs in the first 2 weeks after having him and then the other 12kg I had to lose myself.

I got back down to 70kg 8months after he was born.

Then with this bub I started off at 74kg (I'm 174cm tall and a size 12), and I am now 90kg, so have gained 16kg so far and I'm almost 34weeks. This time around though I don't seem as "fatty" as I did before and have been eating really well...so I'm thinking a lot of my gain is blood, fluid, baby etc. Some fat but not as much as last time.

I think I will hit 20kg again by the time I'm due... but we'll see.

Isn't worrying me as much anymore as I know I can lose it easily afterwards.

[Happy2be3]

21kg with a 3.6kg baby.. blame it on LOTS of full cream milk with 4 tablespoons of Milo & too much Hungry Jacks (minus the caffeine drink)

[MothersMilk]

With DD i gained 20kgs all up.
I am 39 weeks pregnant with my second and have gained 12kgs.
With my first i gained weight all over but this time i seem to be all belly.

[nataliej]

With DD, I put on 8 kgs (she was born at 36 weeks and was 1.8kgs). I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight before I left the hospital.

With DS, I put on 11kgs and got back to my pre-pregnancy weight last week (he's now 4 weeks old).

[Happy2be3]

With DD, I put on 8 kgs (she was born at 36 weeks and was 1.8kgs). I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight before I left the hospital.

Im hoping not to gain as much this time around but as it is im already bigger this time around then what i was with DD at this stage so i will prob gain alot more this time around i think, will have to watch and be careful :yes:

[RourkesMumma]

I stared at 57.5kg with DS and stopped weighing myself at 39wks when I was 78kgs!

He was delivered 11days overdue and weighed 9'2" (4.14kg). I lost all my weight and some within 3 months.

I started at 58kg this time and I was up to 67kg 2 weeks ago (at 21wks). I'm not weighing anymore, haha :)

[captainscaptain]

I put on 13/14kg with DS.

Was 69kg before, was 83kg the night before I delivered. The day after birth I was down to 76kg and a week later I was hovering around 70kg again!

[Mummy2MissA]

Was 51.5kg when I found out I was pregnant. By the end I was 64-65kg. So I put on 12-13kg.

Then lost 16kg within 6 months of birth

[summastarlet]

I gained 5kg all together. I ended up losing 5kg in first tri then gaining back to original weight, then gained an extra 5kg in 3rd tri.

Lost 10kg once bub was out..my belly was all baby!

[Uh-Oh]

Took me about 6 months to be back to prebaby weight.. with no effort on my behalf at all, unless walking around shoping centres counts!

[ohdear]

about 10kgs both times

it was not the babies that where the problem, kept gaining afterwards I think I like my good far to much

[headoverfeet]

About 10-13kg with the boys and 6 with DD.

[Ash93]

With my son I started at 64kg I then went to 60kg and once he was born I was 72kg so from starting weight I only gained 8kg. He weighed 2.5kg and I had minimal fluid.

I conceived again 38 months after my son was born. In that time I gained abit, lost abit, gained some more but was 19kg heavier than after my sons birth.

Due to severe hyperemesis I have lost 15-20kg (lost alot, gained a little, lost mire gained a little ect now I am steadily gaining)

I started this pregnancy at 91kg (at 5w pregnant) at 8w I was 86kg and now at 23w I am just under 86kg (although I probably gained that little bit since my weigh-in)

I estimate I will overtake my 91kg pre pregnancy weight within a month or two.. But hopefully I dont go over 96 kilos as thats the heaviest I have ever been.

After this bub I want to work on getting to 70kg and see how I go from there.

[MissRose1]

I was 43.5kg pre-pregnancy and went up to 59.5kg so put on 16kg all up. DS weighed 4kg.
I lost 8kg immediately after the birth and 4 months on weigh around 45kg which is my goal weight :)

[Mrs E]

I gained 14kgs and bubs weighed 3.72kgs. In the first week I lost 8kgs, working on the rest. She's 4 weeks old at the moment.

[loumia]

I put on around 5 - 7 kg with both my girls & am now 30 weeks pg with girl #3 & so far i've only put on around 4kg, suprising cause i eat like a horse lol

[Kimberleygal1]

My normal weight is 49kgs. I put on 8kgs with both pregnancies. Both my boys were over 3.5kgs. Was back down to 49kgs within 4weeks of giving birth :)

[Eko]

So many 'low' weights... *chuckle*. I was about 85kg when I fell pregnant with DS. The day before I gave birth, I was 115kg. I think about 2 weeks after he was born, I was 105kg.

I plain to gain as little as possible with the next one because I'm finally in the healthy weight range for my height. Gonna be a bit of a juggling act but at the end of the day I'll do what's right for bub and worry about the fat later hehe.

[kate1990]

Started at 56kg gained 7kg during pregnancy. DD weighed 3kg. Was back at my normal weight within a month and have lost more on top of that :) Breastfeeding has sure helped!

[~Marigold~]

With my first I weighed 52kg at first weigh in, ended up weighing 72kg at the end.
This pregnancy, I've lost around 5-6 kg's so far. At almost 5 months I haven't gained a gram.. my OB's not worried. I didn't eat much during the first tri and it just fell off. I'm sure I'll put on soon..

[Bethylou78]

I was 70kg and made it to a whopping 92kgs (give or take I was avoiding scales by 32 weeks). Lost heaps in water weight within a week. Was back to 70kgs 9months later. Breast feeding did not help me, just made me hungry! Still 70kg and 8w2d....let's see if I blow up again!

[breakthemould]

6kg. I am normally 54, got to 60 when I had her at 39+4. She was 3kg. I didnt try not to gain, I just didn't! I also lost 3kg so I wasn't even back to prepreg weight of 54kg until 20 weeks!

[Hollywood]

With DS I gained 11kg (he was 4.4kg). I put on weight AFTER he was born! I blame that on over eating though, I think I had this idea that just because I was breastfeeding I could pig out :rolleyes:

With DD it was about 22kg (she was 4.2kg). She's nearly 5 months and I've only got 2kg to go until I am back to my previous weight. Not that I'm trying, breastfeeding is doing the trick as well as eating sensibly.

[naebie]

Something like 30kg :o

I started off about 55kg and was 80kg plus before having DD.

She was 8lb 7oz and I ended up with stretchmarks from boob to calf. A lot of it was fluid.

[Uniquey]

The last two pregnancies I have put on 8kgs. So far in this pregnancy, I have a feeling it will be similar.

[cindye]

About 10kgs 1st and 2nd pregnancies (4.07kg and 3.12kg babies)
About 8kgs 3rd time around for a 3.81kg bub.
I gain most in my 2nd trimester and only a couple of kgs the last trimester.
I started all 3 pregnancies within a kg of the same weight and was exactly the same weight at 28weeks for all 3 pregnancies.
And very luckily, through virtually no effort besides breastfeeding, I've been back to my pre-pregnancy weight by my post-natal check up.

[scarymarygoldfish]

10.5kgs. I started at 67kgs. I put on over 6kgs within the first trimester because all I wanted was carbs.

[TTCin2009]

I put on 15 kgs & my daughter was 2.9 kg (born at 41 + 2).

[LoveyDovey]

I started at 48kg and I'm currently 62kg with 29 days to go...I'm hoping I don't put too much more on because it feels like I've gained too much already!

[Alphabetsoup]

I lost 5kg by 20 weeks due to morning sickness.
I started at 67kg and a few days before giving birth I was 70kg. I weighed myself a few days after giving birth and was 62kg. Best diet I've ever been on lol.

[Elismummy]

I was 50kg. I dropped back down to 47kg up until about 7 1/2 months then just blew out and just before I had bubs I was 61kg. The day I got home from hospital (2 days after having bub) I was 55kg. Then completely lost the rest of the weight in the next week and dropped back to 50kg I am now 49-50kg. My sons is now 3 months old.

[LifeInShadesOfGrey]

I lost 5 kgs pregnant. At full term I was 5 kgs down on prior weight.

[mrsoptomistic]

12 kg in first pregnancy... Approx 60 - 72kg.... This time I'm 26w and already. 70kg!

[Zeddie]

68kg before baby and 83kg at 41weeks.
DS was born at 3.66kg and walked out I hospital weighing 75kg and unfortunately a year later still weigh around about that

[mrsoptomistic]

Ooh make that 73... :-(

[singlemumma82]

I put on 20kg exactly with DD but lost 10kg in the hospital, DD weighing 3.5kg, then lost another 20kg by her 1st birthday (thanks to a lovely ex who wouldn't help with DD and screamed at me if she ever cried while he was having dinner so I never got to eat).

[mrskc]

I put on 24kg with DD, lost 16kg within 3 months and then I plateaued. Now 17 months after having DD I am 7kg below pre-pregnancy weight. I gained 10kg while TTC though so I've still got 3kg to go...

[MissVolunteer]

I swear I gain weight like there's no tomorrow when I'm pregnant and I basically out grow my clothes straight away. I gained 50kgs with my first thou I did give up smoking at the time. Baby number two I gained 20kgs give or take.

I lost most of my weight after the first then stacked a little bit on after my miscarriage. Now I think I'm in denial about my weight.

[TreeGirl]

I gained about 7.5 kilos. I was paranoid the whole time that I hadn't put on enough!

[Out To Pasture]

I put on 20kgs in both pregnancies, but I was 10kgs heavier to start with, with my 2nd.
I have not weighed myself since after having DS2.

[Little Miss Muffet]

with my first i was 50kgs/160cm when i found out i was pregnant. I didnt weigh myself and either did the doctors or midwives thru out my pregnancy. Except for the day i had my c-section, they had to weigh me to see how much spinal medicine i needed and i have forgotten what that was lol.

With my second i was 42kgs when i found out i was pregnant. I tracked my weight this time. Dropped to 40kgs thruout 1st trimester. Sat on 45kgs untill 3rd trimester then absolutely stacked it on in the final 3 mths (healthy eating too!)....im currently 38+6 weeks and 61kgs. Bub's is measuring 3 weeks ahead.
Im all baby! :)

[GM01]

I was 57kg/169cm before my pregnancy, I was 69kg at 25 weeks when I had my dd who weighed only 635g... Definitely not all baby! 6 months on I'm 61kg, New Years resolution is to get back to pre baby weight

[felicita]

I steadily put on roughly 1 kg/week (until the last week).

Started approx 67kg/172cm.
At 35 wks was 101 kg. In next 4 days pre-eclampsia stacked on an enormous amount of fluid, but I don't know my weight when bubs were born (2 kg and 2.5 kg) at 35+4.
2 wks later had lost more than 20 kg, currently sitting around 80 kg.

[teenie]

With DS I gained 8kg. He was 2.8kg

With DD I gained 10kg. She was 3.2kg

I ate healthily and exercised throughout both pregnancies. I also had pretty foul ms with both so didn't gain much up until 20 weeks both times.

[PinkIsTheNewBlack]

I am 36+2 wks and have put on 8kg roughly- from 51 - 59kg... Am all baby with hardky any fluid. Hope to not go much over 60kg

[Livvey]

Between 10 and 15kg each time. My babes were 8p6oz, 8p8oz and 9p8oz.

With DS I started at 42kg got to 76kg the day I had him so 34kg I'm only 5"2 so it looked like I swallowed a beach ball. He was 7lb 5 @38+6 Got back to 50 kg then 4 years later with DD was 63 kg got to 70kg day before I had her so 7kg and she was 6lb 12 @40+1 now I'm. Back to 54kg so I put on 3x more weight with DS than I did with DD

[bubbles21]

I'm 33 weeks today and I've put on 23kgs already. Started off at 60kgs and 163cms, I feel huge! I also have gestational diabetes which may be contributing a little to the excessive weight gain

[Lil M]

45kg pre pregnant, 51kg at 40 weeks, 45kg a week after birth. DS was 6lb 2oz.

[jezikas]

I weighed 65kg, put on barely 5kg due to hg with DS. Was back to my pre birth weight straight after he came out weighing 2.5kg. I'm now 24 wks pregnant with DD and am sitting around 72kg, although started at 74kg. So hopefully this baby won't come out hungry :-D

[shazzle87]

I was 52kg, (5ft3' tall) and I had no morning sickness - I put on 28kg :freakingout:
I ate healthy, but I definitely indulged in sweet foods as well.
Had a 4.7kg baby, and was pregnant in my third trimester all though the heat of summer! (ie - LOTS of fluid). Now 8 weeks pp and down to 61kg. Hopefully that keeps going down!

[balletbaby]

50kg and put on 18kg.. at sooo many salt and vinegar chips and spag bog to help my nausea for the whole pregnancy.
Baby 2.8kg
Got it all off after 6 months and now weigh 48kg post bub (no time to eat with active bub!)

[redlipsandpearls]

I was 45kg and put on 7kg, birthed a 2.9kg baby. I was back down to 48kg within a week and that's where I've stayed.
