My OB wanted me to do something with the nutritionist during pregnancy. I didn't. I figured that I was pregnant and going to enjoy it. I only gained 25 lbs total during pregnancy. I gained a ton of weight pp with pumping, marriage counseling, and stress. I was at my highest weight ever last year with all of the stress. </p> <p>Last June, after we weaned, I started weight watchers. I'm now almost 15 lbs lighter than when I conceived LO. If I don't watch my food consumption, I definitely teeter on overweight. Weight Watchers helps keep me in check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-conceive-lo-2-at-a-lighter-weight-than-your-first#post-1416914 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 07:55:52 +0000 lamariniere 1416914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I think it probably depends on where you are with your weight? Even though I conceived our 1stl LO 10lbs heavier than our 2nd, I have almost always been on the lean side in a healthy weight range, so I definitely wasn't overweight at the time. After that, I think it's just kind of the luck of the draw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-conceive-lo-2-at-a-lighter-weight-than-your-first#post-1416906 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 07:52:53 +0000 cascademom 1416906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: That's interesting. So weight may not have a bearing on how long it'll take to conceive LO #2. I'm just curious because I'm in better shape now than when conceived LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-conceive-lo-2-at-a-lighter-weight-than-your-first#post-1416787 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 03:06:41 +0000 lamariniere 1416787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 10lbs lighter when we conceived our 2nd, but I was also at my skinny weight then. With our first we were NTNP and our 2nd was definitely planned, but they took about the same number of cycles to get a BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-conceive-lo-2-at-a-lighter-weight-than-your-first#post-1415508 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 16:06:45 +0000 cascademom 1415508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just curious about this. I've been doing WW since last June. I'm about 12-14 lbs lighter than my pregnancy/conception weight at the moment. It took us 4 months to conceive LO at my previous weight. I lost 10 lbs in the first trimester and gained it back when food didn't make me sick.</p> <p>I'm curious if it was easier to conceive at a lighter weight the second time around or if it was about the same. </p>
