@blackbird: Wow, way to go!
We are planning to start TTC #2 in August, when LO1 is 14 months old. I'm still about 30lbs heavier than I was pre-pregnancy (I gained about 65 
), and my goal is to lose at least 15 lbs by August so that I am at a healthier weight before pregnancy.
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 33 lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? All
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? 7 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? 14-15 lbs. I had to tweak my diet for GD..LO 2 still weighed almost 8 lbs at birth. -
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 40 lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? 44lbs.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? LO1 was just shy of 2 when we found out we were pregnant with LO2.
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? Just past 26 weeks, I'm hovering around 20 lbs. I'm hoping to stay closer to 30 lbs this time, but who knows.

I am so impressed with you ladies losing all your pregnancy weight (and then some)!
@mrsjyw: Over half way there... congratulations!
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? About 40 pounds
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? About 45 pounds but then gained about 5-10 back before getting pregnant again.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? Found out we were pregnant for DS2 the day after DS1's 1st birthday.
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? About 25-30 pounds. But I had GD and I watched my diet. I also wasn't as swollen the second time.Losing the weight the second time has been much harder.
-
@Mamasig: That's what I am afraid of! Last time around I was pretty inactive (new town, no friends, snowed in quite a bit), which I know contributed to my weight gain. I am more active now, but I am hoping I can get into a good routine of working out and eating well that I can continue through pregnancy.
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 30lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? 25lbs. I was underweight before so this was a good weight
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? 22 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? 25 lbs -
@mrsrain: I gained less the second time but it didn't matter. Just harder to lose. But I don't really have time to work out so I'm changing my diet. That has helped!
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 12 pounds
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? The weight went right away, and I lost another ten pounds before I conceived again.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? 3 years.
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? 11 pounds at 27 weeks. So probably 20 or so by the time it's over.I started this pregnancy 10 pounds lighter than my first, which is still about 15 pounds over my ideal weight. I'm also drastically more active this time, and I have more muscle mass. I'm still exercising regularly at 27 weeks, and I also don't have the pervasive mild morning sickness that I had last time. So I'm probably eating more. I'm also retaining water badly. I know that even 20 pounds is perfectly fine, but it's hard to cope when I gained so little the first time.
-
@sarac: Do you think your increased activity has helped to combat morning sickness? I have heard that this works, and I hope it's true! I has SOOO sick the first half of my pregnancy and actually lost about 12 lbs early one.

2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? All

4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? I'm almost 25 weeks, and I think I've gained 17 lbs so far. -
@mrsrain: You can do it! Summer is the best time to lose weight, IMO....the food is so much better/fresher, less comfort food, the weather is nice....in the cold winter months, I just want to be a hermit!
I was much much much sicker this second pregnancy (on anti-nausea meds until middle 5 months or so!)
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy?
21 lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again?
All of it plus 10 lbs while BFing, but back up to higher 1st pre pregnancy weight before BFP.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2?
26 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy?
I'm up 7 lbs already from starting weight at 12 weeks. Hoping I don't end up too much higher than my final weight last pregnancy. Starting to work out again after nothing for 3 months. -
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? over 40 pounds (I stopped looking at the scale after that)
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? All of it, though I felt like I needed to lose more as my weight was definitely distributed differently.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? Uhmm, 21 months approx?
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? I'm almost 26 weeks and up alllllmost 20 pounds. I gained way less this time. DS2 is also measuring smaller than DS1 (who was huge). He's just a smaller guy, I suppose.
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 24lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? All of it, plus 10lbs, so I started 10lbs lighter this time
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? He had just turned one that week
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? So far, 14lbs at 24 weeks
-
I gained 29-30 lbs my first pregnancy. I lost it all before getting pregnant again. Maybe I was 2 lbs more? It took about 6 months to all drop off and I got pregnant when DD was 10.5 months old.
I gained 26 my second pregnancy. It took a very short time to come off, maybe 12 weeks for all of it, due to an elimination diet. By 6 months post partum, I was at my wedding weight and had abs!
I feel off the working out wagon around 11 months post partum. When I got pregnant again when my second was 14 months old, I was not in amazing shape but still below the weight I started at last time. I am now almost 18 weeks with my third and I am up 7 pounds. I will probably end up gaining my usual 25-30 lbs.
-
I gained 23 with my first. Was 15 below pre preg when I got pregnant with #2 when DD1 was 14 months. Gained 22 with my second. I'm back to prepreg weight again at almost four months pp, but still have a gut that I'm not happy with. Slowly but surely.
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 60+ lbs.
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again?
All but then gained 5 lb back3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2?
17 months4) Weight gained in second pregnancy?
I'm 14 weeks with #2 and up 1 lb. At this point with LO1 I was up 15-16 lb. -
@mrsrain: Hmm, interesting question. I know that when my blood sugar drops I get queasy, and it's not much of a stretch to think that exercise is helping me to keep that steady.
What I know for sure that it's doing is keeping my back and hip pain at bay. I'm 27 weeks today, and I'm just now starting to deal with frequent back pain - and so far I've been able to fix it at the chiropractor. I had constant low to mid level pain after 20 weeks with my first. KEEP EXERCISING! It is the absolute best way to keep the aches and pains away as long as possible.
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 29lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? all of it and an extra 10lbs
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? a bit more than 2 years
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? 40ish lbs, but I started out 10lbs lighter (so I was probably at the same number at the end of each pregnancy).
Now at 16 months PP with my last LO, my weight is back to prepreg, but my tummy is still a bit squashy. I don't know if that is ever going away, but I can live with it, and I'm probably the only person who notices.
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 30-35 lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? all of it and an extra 7-10lbs
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? 13 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? about 25 at 35 weeks so far (hoping not to tip over 30 lbs).
In general, I feel so much better this pregnancy and I attribute a lot of that to being lighter pre-pregnancy, but also being more active during pregnancy. I only work out 1-2x a week, but I truly believe it makes all the difference. I spin and it's fairly strenuous and I do get a lot of BH contractions after, but as long as I drink enough water, it's still so good for me. I haven't gone in the last few weeks and it's definitely showing. But, only a few weeks left!
-
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 27 lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? All but then I had 2 miscarriages and gained weight from those i think, so I started this pregnancy off about 7 lbs more than normal.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? the sticky one - we found out on DD's 2nd birthday we were pregnant again.
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? i'm up 19 lbs at 28 weeks but because of where I started, I weigh what I did when I delivered DD1. But the weight gain pattern is about the same, so hopefully I'll still hover between 25-30 lbs by the end. -
I'm curious to hear from those of you with 2 or more kids:
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 45. I had a lot of swelling at the end. (Summer baby)
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? 30
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? When DS was 18 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? 1 pound so far @ 14 weeks. -
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 46 lbs
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? 54 lbs
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? About a year and 7 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? So far about 7 lbs, 21 weeks -
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? - about 50 lbs!
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? - I lost it all by about 4 months
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? - 9 months
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? - again, a lot. about 55 lbs! but I lost it all again by the time I returned to work (and about 5 lbs more). -
1) Weight gained in 1st pregnancy? 40 pounds
2) How much did you lose before getting pregnant again? well I initially lost it all, but gained 10 pounds back before getting pregnant again.
3) How long after LO1 did you conceive LO2? just under 2 years (they are 2 1/2 years apart)
4) Weight gained in second pregnancy? 25 pounds, I'm almost 5 weeks PP and I'm 3 pounds from original weight, however my body is different, as my pants are still tight I would like to lose that 10 pounds (plus another 20) this year, that's my goal.
We are planning to start TTC #2 in August, when LO1 is 14 months old. I'm still about 30lbs heavier than I was pre-pregnancy (I gained about 65 
), and my goal is to lose at least 15 lbs by August so that I am at a healthier weight before pregnancy.
