@twodoghouse: so interesting! I lost weight during IVF, I had been wondering if it was the shots/hormones. Still managed to gain more than you with a singleton though

Gained 25, was only 6#s over my pre-pg weight soon after delivering, & 3#s over at 13wks pp. However, I feel I've lost lots of muscle tone & am flabby & stiff, so the numbers aren't really meaning as much to me.

28 lbs. I was trying to make good food choices and I did some type of light cardio until 8ish months.

About 25lbs with the first, and am on track to gain about 25-30lbs with the second as well! (Am 23lbs up at 36wks.)

Gained 23# over my pre-pregnancy weight and delivered at 40w. Lost it all by my 6week check up.
I don't know what to attribute it all to. Active during pregnancy, healthy cravings (milk, salad), adversions to anything fried until 36w, and then EBF a baby that is now at the 90th % for weight.

29 lbs DD1
26 lbs DD2
Up 23 lbs at 36 weeks with DD3. Probably would be up at least 6 lbs more but I started watching carbs and sugar.

@blackbird: I'll join the fatty club. Around 60lb with both kids. Horrific morning sickness too, yet I still gained throughout.

About 40 pounds with DS1. I was so swollen and was miserable. I didn't eat horrible or anything. It's just what my body did. With DS2, I gained about 30 pounds - not really sure. I did have GD and watched what I ate a bit more. For reference, I'm 5'2" with a smallish frame.

I lost a bunch at the beginning of my pregnancy but still managed to be 40 lbs above my PP weight when I gave birth. With my pregnancy that ended at 22w in December I had put on 10 pounds and haven't lost any

23 and 27. I worked really hRd to keep it as close to 25lbs as I could because I have a hard time losing weight.

40 with #1, about 20 with #2. I ended at the exact same weight with both. I got pregnant 6 months pp with #2, and hadn't come close to losing the weight from that pregnancy

@SweetiePie: Interesting that you lost weight during IVF! Do you think it was the stress? I became majorly bloated and exhausted so my activity level basically dropped to zero during IVF, so I know that was part of it. Also, my kids ended up tiny, so I'm sure there are singletons out there that ended up heavier than their combined weights!

20 lbs for me! I lost in the beginning because I had morning sickness.

I gained about 15 lbs both times. I'm petite and should have gained more, but I was on a restrictive GD diet.

@twodoghouse: @SweetiePie: I gained weight, too. I don't think it was the IUI meds (Femera) but I think it was definitely the IVF meds. I was getting stretch marks even before getting pregnant.

45 with LO1. I'm currently 16 weeks with LO2 and only 2 pounds so far but I still have a long way to go!

@bluestriped bee: I'm with you, I also gained weight during IVF but didn't gain with any of the other types of meds (Clomid, Femara, etc). Think I was up approx 7-10 lbs from IVF which I did factor into the 55 or so lbs I gained. (delivered at 36 weeks)

26 lbs with LO1. Now at 8 wks with LO2, I've actually lost 2 lbs. MS has been kicking my butt!

Somewhere under 30! I def would have gained more if I didn't have GD!
