How much weight did you gain?

Question

If you were a normal weight before getting pregnant, how much did you gain during pregnancy. I know it's supposed to be 25 pounds. Just curious how realistic that is or isn't. Thanks!

Answer

With my first I started at 125 lbs and went to 
181 lbs 
With my second I started at 140 lbs and am currently 173 lbs (I'm 37 weeks)

Answer

29lbs with my 1st

Answer

It really depends on your start weight, honestly. With my first I started at 150, and weighed 195 when I delivered. This time around I struggled with infertility for 3 years, and admittedly ate like crap and went through a depression and binge eating pretty much every time my period came so I was 220 when I found out I was pregnant. So far I've lost down to 195 (so down 25lbs at 18w), and my doctors are fine with it. I've been very sick, but I've also cut all of the crap out of my diet. If I didn't gain any I could still have a healthy pregnancy because I had too much to begin with, you know?

Answer

19 lbs with my 1st and 2nd pregnancies
16 lbs with my 3rd

Answer

With my first I gained 22lbs and my second 27 lbs

Answer

I gained 25lbs with my first. Im 32 weeks with my 2nd and have already gained 25lbs this time. Im a little discouraged by it honestly, since ive even eaten healthier and exercised more this time.  Sigh. I am carrying completely different this time as well so maybe its just different all together haha

Answer

A normal weight .....

Well anyways I was around 130 before my first and ended at about 180. I would say I started my second pregnancy around 150 and ended at around 200. I started this pregnancy at about 180 and am now 171 at 12 weeks. Though I know I'll start to gain when the sickness leaves I really hope to not go over 200 🙏🏼

Answer

Pre pregnancy I weight 150 maybe a little less I'm 34 weeks & im 190 so I've gained 40 . With my son all together at the end of my pregnancy I gained 50 pounds . But I'm tall 5'6 doctors say my weight gain is fine .

Answer

I'm 31 weeks and I've gained 23 lbs so far 😬

Answer

Yes. I gained between 25 and 30 with my first born. With this current one, I'm 14 weeks and haven't yet gained anything. There are a lot of factors. I'd say 25/30 is the average. Plenty of people gain more and plenty gain less. Exercise is SO important though...for yourself (pregnancy AND delivery) and for the fetus. Even if all you can do is walk, it's one of the best things to do regularly (as long as you're cleared to be active!). Best wishes❤️
