I'm now back in my size 2's, below pre-pregnancy weight and DS is 10 months old. I NEVER thought that would happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-356485 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:07:51 +0000 LemonLong 356485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 21 lbs at almost 38 weeks. I'm petite to begin with and my fundal height is measuring 3 weeks behind and my measurement ultrasound at 32 weeks showed the baby around the 10th percentile. I'm eating lots of steaks and cheeseburgers hoping she'll grow a bit more before she shows up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-356468 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:02:07 +0000 hilsy85 356468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 32lbs total. I am so curious to know how much I am down now, at 5days pp, but I don't have a scale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-356454 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:58:54 +0000 Freckles 356454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 35 lbs, but i stopped weighing myself two weeks prior to delivery. </p> <p>I made a huuge effort not to go crazy in the first trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-356438 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:55:09 +0000 sarac 356438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 pounds, and I'm at an ok weight. I was about 5 pounds below my prepregnancy weight by 2 weeks post partum. I gained my weight breastfeeding - 10 pounds at 5 months PP. I just now lost it now that my 13 month old is night weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355984 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:46:50 +0000 Lozza 355984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>23 lbs, but I was packing some extra weight from an earlier lost pregnancy from the start, so it was good that I didn't gain more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355954 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:41:17 +0000 mamabolt 355954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>35 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355950 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:40:28 +0000 keiki_mama 355950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>37 lbs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355948 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:40:27 +0000 Periwinkle 355948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 38 weeks, I am only up about 18lbs. I started off a very average and healthy weight so it's been a concern why I have not gained more. I had a tough time finding an appetite most of this pregnancy and dealt with a lot of stress which may have added to my not eating better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355946 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:40:02 +0000 keiki_mama 355946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355927 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:36:14 +0000 Tidybee 355927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>26 pounds exactly at 38 weeks, 5 days. I'm shocked I didn't gain more because I'm not restricting anything, i have my nightly ice cream, and when I'm not pregnant, I gain weight really easily. But I walk walk walk (live in a city) everywhere, so I think that has kept my weight down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355917 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:33:26 +0000 tysonja 355917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>40!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355899 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:28:03 +0000 BelugaBean 355899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going by the weight I was at my 39 week, 5 day appointment, I was up 38 lbs. I probably got close to 39-40 though although I lost 4 lb from the 38 by the time I went into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355879 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:22:20 +0000 Weagle 355879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 lbs.

I agree with @mrs. stroller. I probably could have eaten a little healthier but I doubt it would have affected my weight gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355866 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:21:14 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 355866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 40 and there was nothing I could do to make it less - I didn't eat a lot and exercised every day. I think our bodies just have a set amount to gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355860 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:18:19 +0000 Springtime 355860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>40 lbs! Yikes I tried not to look at the scale towards the end of pregnancy, it's depressing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355854 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:17:23 +0000 DpeachLu 355854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>35-40 pounds. I kind of stopped caring the last couple of weeks of pregnancy (to look at the scale that is.)<br /> I was also in the underweight category pre-pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-total-weight-did-you-gain-during-your-1st-pregnancy#post-355851 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:16:40 +0000 loveisstrange 355851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had gained 33lbs at 36 weeks.
