I gained right about 10 pounds right near the end (still minus 20), and my DS was 8lbs 3 ounces. My doctor said it was unusual but we were both healthy. Plus I was happy not to gain a lot, women in my family have a hard time losing weight after baby. Today I am still losing weight like crazy due to breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632993 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:26:33 +0000 Alivoo01 632993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Wow!! You go girl!!! I'm just an inch shorter than you, and at 18 weeks, the scale is already displaying a sad number. You're my inspiration to get back down to my pre-preggo weight once DS is born!! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632882 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 07:47:43 +0000 Smurfette 632882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 43 and she weighed 8lb 4oz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632788 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 07:02:08 +0000 rachiecakes 632788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained close to 60lbs, induced because of pre-e. I was swollen everywhere. DS was 8lbs, 2oz.<br /> No stretch marks, back in a size 2. (5'3", 120lbs) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632602 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:36:16 +0000 tororojo 632602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained 45 lbs and LO was 9lb 5oz. I'm pretty sure a lot of that was bloat because I have lost 20 lbs in the 5 days since delivery. The doc says I'm just made to have big babies. (which seems odd to me because I was 6 lb 7oz, DH was 8 even and we're both pretty slender...but he said my weight gain wasn't too high based on pre-preg weight and build) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632271 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:40:21 +0000 Periwinkle 632271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained just about 20lbs and my baby was 7lbs 2oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632221 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:09:47 +0000 winniebee 632221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there's correlation - I am 5"2 and gained 30 lbs and my LO was only 5 lb 5 oz! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632054 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:05:16 +0000 Ree723 632054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 32 lbs and LO was 7 lbs 6 oz, 21 inches. Not sure whether or not there's a correlation but that was about what I was expecting (or hoping!) to gain and DD was about the size baby everyone expected me to have - no idea why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-632001 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:48:45 +0000 hpopny 632001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both pregnancies, I gained 40 pounds and each baby was 6 lbs., 10 oz. I gave birth in the summer with both kids, so there was a lot of ice cream being eaten. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gained-during-pregnancy-related-to-los-birth-weight/page/2#post-631995 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:46:38 +0000 Beebug 631995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained 56lbs and DD was 9lbs 1oz.

I gained 28 lbs and DS weighed 7 lbs 11 oz at 2 weeks 'early'.
