How much weight did you gain and how heavy was your baby?

Question

For those who have had at least one baby already, how much weight did you gain during your pregnancy and how heavy was your baby at birth? Were you underweight, avaerage weight, or overweight prepregnancy? I'm asking because I started out at 140 pounds and now I'm at 183. My doctor felt my belly and said baby is measuring at 7 pounds and I'm only 36 weeks 😳 I want to hear how accurate this measurement was for you and also if your weight gain largely determined your baby's?

Answer

First pregnancy I started at 120, at birth I weighed 170 (she was 2 weeks early due to preeclampsia.) she weighed 6 lbs 4 oz. 
Second pregnancy I started at 185, at birth I weighed 203. She was born a day late and weighed 5 lbs 9 oz. 
So far this pregnancy I started at 178 and I'm currently sitting around 190 (35 weeks) so we'll see how much baby weighs.

I was never given a guessed weight with any of my pregnancies and I personally think it's outrageous when a doctor "guesses" a baby weight cause they're normally off +/- 2 lbs. Hope my information helps though.

Answer

Gained 25 pounds my first pregnancy and my son was 10 lb 9 oz. 👍🏻

Answer

I gained 22 pounds (I was 105 before the pregnancy, I'm small) and baby weighed 8.2 pounds when he was born. Pretty big, actually! And very healthy! I came back to my pre-pregnancy weigh soon after having him.

Answer

50lbs and he was 9.6. I went home 30lbs lighter. Lol

Answer

Just had my first. Started at 132 and got up to 154, so about 22 pounds and baby was born at 6pounds14ounces.

Answer

I actually lost weight during my pregnancy. Post pregnancy I was 266 n during I was 243, my ob wasn't concerned since I was plus size. While I was getting ready for my c-section at 38weeks (last ultrasound was at 35weeks 5lb 6oz) my ob commented saying that he thinks my baby is 9lbs bc of my belly. Nope she ended up being a healthy 6lbs n 14oz.

Answer

Started at 182. Dropped to 165. By the time i gave birth i was 174. Baby was 7.5 pounds

Answer

125 up to 165 with my first, but a good 10 of that was swelling/water weight based on my body composition smart scale thingie. She was 8#4.5oz and came at 37+5. I'm up to about 155 now and not swollen, so I figure it's basically been the same.

Answer

I started at 250 and when I gave birth I was 268. My son weighed 10lbs 2oz! I left the hospital weighing 245, which was pretty great!

Answer

I lost my big ass mind gaining all this weight but it was worth it. I gained 59lbs of hamburgers, pizza, icecream , and brownies my baby came out at 39 weeks 8 lbs 14oz 22inches long. But I'm already down 43 lbs , I'm shooting to loose additional weight 25lbs before I go back to work.
