But I think it's time for another.
So from your pre-pregnancy weight to the time you delivered your baby... How much weight did you gain (or lose)?

Exactly 32 lbs both times. With DD1, the weight came on slowly; with DD2, it piled on quickly (up nearly 20 lbs by 20 weeks!). I didn't show with either baby though until around 24 weeks so absolutely no idea where that weight went!

With DS1 I gained 45 pounds.
With this DS, I've gained 20 pounds at 32 weeks, so we'll see how much I gain total by the end. I'm guessing not as much as my first pregnancy, though.

29 with my first. Probably 40ish with my second. But I started my second pregnancy about 10lbs lighter than my first (I was pretty skinny), so I think my body knew it needed extra weight.

24 lbs with #1 and 32 lbs with #2. I started 10 lbs lighter the second time, so my ending weight was basically the same.

About 10kg with my first and approx 8-9kg with my second (I lost 3kg in my 3rd Tri once diagnosed with GD).

With DD, right around 35 lbs
With this one, I was up 23 at 34 weeks so I'm guessing it will be under 30

I gained 20ish lbs. I have a very petite frame. I made sure to exercise my entire pregnancy and eat healthy.

Somewhere around 35lbs, about 30 of which were in the second trimester.

35lbs total. Lost all but 8lbs by 2 weeks PP! And I'm fine with keeping it because I was underweight to begin with.

25lbs both times. I started 5lbs lighter this time, and by 2 weeks pp, I had lost all but 9lbs. Of course that's at a standstill this week!

35 lbs (with twins). I did gain 8 lbs during the IVF process though.

15 lbs with K and 10 lbs with E. I could never eat very much when preg without getting uncomfortable! The docs thought it was strange but babies always were growing and measuring fine.

I guess I'll be the token fatty on this thread. 50-55ish pounds with T. I'm closing in on my pre pregnancy weight, though

29.5 pounds! I managed to stay just under my goal of not gaining more than 30 pounds.

I only make it 34/37 weeks.. So that is part of the reason it's so little.. I hear a lot of weight is gained 3rd trimester.

30 lbs, and I'm that classic person that actually gained about a pound per week after the first trimester.

More than most of you, around 50 lbs! By the end I was so swollen I was gaining at a ridiculous rate. I had preeclampsia and excess fluid and my son was not small so there was some explanation but I will try harder to watch it next time. Fortunately it was the one time in my life I lost weight easily, and was about 10 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight by my 6 week check up.

41 at my last OB appt which was 5 days prior to delivery. But at that appt I was having a lot of swelling and I gained 5 lbs in that week, which was definitely fluid. I was underweight prepregnancy. I had DS on Monday and I haven't weighed myself yet.

I was at 20 by 23 weeks when I when on Hospital Bed Rest. So I sure don't think it would've been low!

Exactly 40! I pretty much gained exactly a pound per week from the day I found out I was pregnant. I never quite got back down to pre-pregnancy weight (but I don't care because I can lift much heavier things now) so I will probably try not to gain quite as much if I give it another go.

43 with my first, 32ish with my second. But I started out 15 lbs heavier the second time, so I'm still fatter overall. Lose-lose. haha.

19, but I lost 15 in the first trimester so I ended up only 4 above my pre-pregnancy weight. But I put on over 50 in his first year 
I managed to lose that, and started out at the same pre-pregnancy weight with this one. I'm up 5 at 23 weeks.

I had trouble gaining due to HG, and lost at the beginning with both. I lost again at the end with DD2-- I was sicker the second time. Overall I ended up 30 lbs with DD1, 18 lbs with DD2.
