Some things that I think contributed: lots of water retention, a very sedentary job, and that week where I had a chocolate milkshake for breakfast every day. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-2276946 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 08:35:45 +0000 Portboston 2276946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started out underweight (5'7" 115lbs) so I was told to gain 25-40. I gained 35. I've lost all but 8lbs at 6 weeks pp &amp; am happy with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-2276919 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 07:21:38 +0000 travellingbee 2276919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 40 with DS 1 and lost it all. I'm up 23 lbs at 22 weeks already and depressed as hell. But I'm also still puking if I don't eat constantly so what can ya do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-408971 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:18:41 +0000 ValentineMommy 408971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 28w, I'm up between 24-26 pounds. I feel like it's a ton. I'm 5'9'', and freaking out what the upcoming weeks will look like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-321587 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 22:52:21 +0000 loveisstrange 321587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 5'7 and gained around 50. I wasnt weighed at all after 36 weeks when i was transferred to a British hospital, so i dont know for sure. I know i had gained 33lbs at 36 weeks. A good portion of the weight was massive water retention and a 10lb bbany though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-321582 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 22:47:56 +0000 sarac 321582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 pounds. Was down to 5 below my starting weight by a week after giving birth. Then I gained 10 pounds at 5 months when my hormones went wacky, and I can't seem to lose it all. Breastfeeding can mess with you like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-321563 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 22:28:33 +0000 Weagle 321563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 18.

I'm 5'3" and weighed 104 pre-preg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-320644 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:58:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 320644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained about 40 with each pregnancy, lost 35 in the first 6 weeks with both.

I lost a tremendous amount before my 6 week follow up but the last 10lbs were quite stubborn and didn't fall off until DS started solids (right around when AF returned at 8 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain-3#post-320550 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:08:51 +0000 Goldilocks1107 320550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 45-50 lbs and am 5'11".
