I think I might be a couple pounds less right now and hoping I'm done with the weight gain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2620101 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 12:50:32 +0000 avivoca 2620101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: Yep, I weigh 15 pounds more than my husband right now and I still have three weeks to go. It makes me so mad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2620086 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 12:36:31 +0000 Mama Bird 2620086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The first time, I ate everything, all the time. The second time, I was really sick but craved cake. He tried not to keep pace with me, but it wasn't easy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619990 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:44:40 +0000 Bluebonnet 2619990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! I was so nauseous I was barely eating and definitely not cooking. So he ate a lot of takeout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619985 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:37:23 +0000 catlady 2619985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does this thing where he launches himself into a personal fitness regime every time I get pregnant. This time around, it was crossfit. So yes, he's gained weight, but not sympathy weight. He's just gotten tons more muscle. Honestly I sort of wish he did the sympathy weight thing because it makes me feel sort of awful to see him looking more and more fit as I get rounder and rounder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619976 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:13:22 +0000 csross217 2619976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! He totally took advantage of my cravings and indulged as much as I did. I've lost most of the weight by getting back into a regular exercise routine but DH hasn't quite gotten his motivation back yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619950 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 09:45:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2619950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time? I think so! This time around, I think we're both losing weight b/c of our toddler lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619568 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 10:37:52 +0000 travellingbee 2619568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the first time but this second pregnancy, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619566 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 10:26:07 +0000 maddyz 2619566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: I feel the same way, dh usually weights just a little less then me, it's hard when I weigh so much more. He could use to put on a few pounds, but because I am eating so little still he is too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619532 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 08:00:28 +0000 MrsB2012 2619532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he's just continued to work out hard and have lots of results. It's hard for me to see him making all these progressions, while I'm going the opposite way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619530 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 07:55:11 +0000 skipra 2619530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and he's pretty skinny so he could afford to! It is totally vain but its really hard for me to weigh as much as him (and actually more at the end of my second pregnancy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619522 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 07:26:20 +0000 MrsSCB 2619522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I think it was because I was lucky to not feel to terrible while pregnant so we were still able to mostly eat the same. BFing is a different story. I'm hungry and exhausted all the time so we've been eating much less healthy than during pregnancy :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619521 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 07:24:01 +0000 MrsKoala 2619521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. He's generally got a good metabolism so his weight stays pretty steady no matter what he does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619515 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 07:09:16 +0000 nana87 2619515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, with my first pregnancy he actually had a bit of a health scare/wake up call and started running and eating better. This time I think he's gained a bit of weight but it's more summer/beig too hot to run outside than sympathy I think, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619502 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 05:45:26 +0000 autumnleaves 2619502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he had more cravings than I did - it was insane. He ate a cheesecake in 2 days by himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619494 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 03:39:35 +0000 meadow 2619494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: ÷1!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619470 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 21:57:29 +0000 yellowbird 2619470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: lol!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619464 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 21:33:27 +0000 Cherrybee 2619464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but he definitely experiences "sympathy exhausted" when I do all do all the night wakings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619463 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 21:27:26 +0000 Iced Tea 2619463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big time. And he hasn't lost it 18 months later. I, on the other hand, lost all mine plus 15 pounds. He doesn't have the advantage of breastfeeding to lose weight, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619417 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 19:08:03 +0000 avivoca 2619417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time, yes. This time, he lost his sympathy weight from the last pregnancy and I found it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-gain-sympathy-weight-during-your-pregnancy#post-2619412 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 19:00:54 +0000 mrbee 2619412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely did... just because it's easy to maintain my weight when Bee is cooking, but when she's not feeling well - I just eat whatever is around (all the carbs!! mmm). </p>
