With both babies, I only lost about 12 lbs in the initial few weeks so it clearly wasn't all going to baby! I think I'm just destined to gain 32 lbs during pregnancy regardless of the baby size! :silly:</p> <p>ETA: DD1 was born on her due date and DD2 arrived 8 hours after her due date, so pretty much exact same gestation time for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-amount-of-weight-you-gain-correlate-with-baby-size/page/2#post-1530980 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:31:12 +0000 78h2o 1530980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 50 lbs and had an 8 lb 12oz 22" baby... so maybe?<br /> A lot of the weight was fluid, even though I didn't have pre-e, I had a TON of swelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-amount-of-weight-you-gain-correlate-with-baby-size/page/2#post-1530968 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:25:09 +0000 LomaLinda 1530968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I gained 50 pounds and had an average size baby - 7 lbs 14 oz. Plus he was 9 days overdue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-amount-of-weight-you-gain-correlate-with-baby-size/page/2#post-1530958 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:05:38 +0000 coopsmama 1530958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I gained 50lbs and had a 9lb baby, but we'll see after this time. I'm almost at 26 weeks and haven't gained anything! The midwife is predicting this baby will be a lot smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-amount-of-weight-you-gain-correlate-with-baby-size/page/2#post-1530954 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:01:01 +0000 Grace 1530954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so.

I gained 40 pounds with #1 and he was 10 lbs 9 oz. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with another boy and have gained around 21 pounds so far. But I've got GD this time so my diet is different. Even so, I think I was gaining less anyway and last time I retained a lot of fluid. We'll see how big this one is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-amount-of-weight-you-gain-correlate-with-baby-size/page/2#post-1530834 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:24:48 +0000 californiadreams 1530834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I think my weight gain correlated with how much chocolate I ate though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-amount-of-weight-you-gain-correlate-with-baby-size/page/2#post-1530790 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:52:57 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1530790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 13 lbs (it was 17, but then I caught the norovirus 1 week before labor/delivery and lost 4 lbs in a few days, it was HELL).

With my daughter, I gained close to 60lbs, she was 9lbs, 9oz, and 2 post due. With my son, I struggled to gain weight, and gained only 10 or 15lbs.
