I've put on nearly 30% of my pre-pregnancy weight while being pregnant. HOLY COW!! No wonder I am so exhausted; that's a lot of weight to lug around.

@jedeve: Yikes, I never thought of it in those terms, but I'm up 25% of my pre-preg body weight at 32 weeks...

So far I have put on about 21% ...and I have 10 weeks to go! I have noticed that my leg muscles are looking killer and my ass has shrunk a little--weird, eh? I have only gained weight in my stomach so far and am hoping it stays there.

more than 50%!! so crazy..
I'm usually around 118 and gained close to 60lbs, tons of swelling though with pre-eclampsia
Fortunately I'm back to normal.

Had to whip out my calculator for that one - I gained 26% - and that was the result of too many cookies and indulgences.

@jedeve: it was not intentional, haha!
I'm really into health & fitness but after 30 weeks my blood pressure skyrocketed and I swelled up. I could press dimples into my shins that would last for 20 minutes, scary

@rachiecakes: you look GREAT!!!
I was 130ish prebaby and gained 55ish pounds. with my first.
I think I'm up 37lbs with baby 2. Possibly more since I've been eating nonstop since my mom got here.

Math is not my favorite, but let's see if I can do this. From when I found out I was pregnant until now at 38w1d, I lost 5% of my body weight but have gained 6.5%. This leaves me with a total gain of 1.5% of my body weight with only 5 days of pregnancy left.

@rachiecakes: is that Photoshop or is your stomach seriously that flat? That's incredible!!

I gained around 15%. The time that it took for me to come up with that figure is just embarrassing. So bad at simple math :(.

I gained 22%! I was 140 when I got preg, I had gained about 5 lbs after 2 chemical pregs in a row. I gained 30 lbs exactly, and at 10 days pp (last Friday) I weighed myself and I have 9lbs to go to get to prepreg weight and 14 lbs to go to get back to my "fighting" weight, my goal is 135.

40% !! I really hope I'm like @MrsBee and gain less the second time--I was so uncomfortable and in a lot of pain from all the extra weight and fluids.
But hey, 7 months pp, less than 1 pound to go! (less than 1%). Not bad!
