The nurse remarked that baby must therefore 'be done cooking', and she was right, as I gave birth within that week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2/page/2#post-180063 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:08:57 +0000 Pancakes 180063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 18-19 lbs total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2/page/2#post-179917 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:51:56 +0000 regberadaisy 179917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my total was about 40lbs?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2/page/2#post-179916 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:50:55 +0000 eeh 179916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow and as of my appointment this morning I've gained 24 pounds. I'm starting to get scared (said while my evening snack is being prepared)...I gained 9 pounds in the last month. My weight has come in two big bursts gaining 10 pounds between weeks 18 and 22 and then gaining 9 pounds between weeks 27 and 31 with a few other pounds scattered here and there. At this point I'm hoping to keep it under 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2/page/2#post-179875 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:15:59 +0000 duckduckkristen 179875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 30 lbs. After 11 weeks I pretty much gained a pound a week. I delivered a 7 lb baby at 39 weeks. Lost 10 lbs the first day plus another 5 the first week. Haven't lost anything since and LO is a month old. Hopefully once I get the ok to work out I'll be able to lose the last 15! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2/page/2#post-179870 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:09:33 +0000 mynoahbear 179870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 25lbs and gave birth at 38 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2/page/2#post-179772 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:08:06 +0000 MamaMoose 179772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: gah this makes me feel like a bad mama that I'm only a few days behind you and I'm still down from pre pregnancy!

Eek! Eating habits are back to normal, so I hope it slows down a little during the next few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179764 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:57:41 +0000 Honeybee 179764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never enough. :( With DD, I was 8 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight at birth; with DS, I was 12 pounds over at birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179758 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:52:55 +0000 Chastenet 179758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 31 weeks and have gained 24 lbs so far.

I probably weighed more when I went to the hospital because I retained so much water those last few days! It took four months to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179541 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:10:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 179541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained 30 the first time and 12 the second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179538 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:08:16 +0000 Running Elley 179538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gah too much :( I’m 21 weeks and I’ve gained 22 pounds. I’m terrified of what I’ll end up at. Luckily it seems to have slowed down but I eat healthy foods and I’ve kept up fairly consistent exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179512 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:55:40 +0000 Crisark 179512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First Pregnancy I gained 60lbs whoa! lol I had preclaimpsia and delivered by emergency induction at 37wk5days. Lost all the weight within a year.<br /> Second only 29 1/2 lbs. Lost all but 3 lbs at birth. However Preclampsia came along within an hour of giving birth and I was pumped full of meds and have struggled to lose the weight ever since....5 years now.<br /> This time around when we get pregnant I will be watching everything I eat as I am now. OB doesn't want me to gain anything so I'll be calorie restricted until I'm far enough along that I actually need to increase my calorie intake to accommodate the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179497 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:50:29 +0000 BeachMama 179497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 32 lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-2#post-179421 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:26:54 +0000 loveisstrange 179421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha.
