Anyone gained 100lbs pregnant?

Question

My husbands coworker said she gained around 100 lbs with pregnancy, I was shocked to see photos a Jessica Simpson in magazines looking like she gained about that, I always thought it was 15-35 lbs for everyone, wondering how common a massive gain like this is, if you did, did it come off?

Answer

I dont think 100 pounds is common per say lol I'm 31 weeks and I've only gained about 10 pounds. but baby grows the most in the last trimester!

Answer

Some women use pregnancy as an excuse to eat absolutely everything. Yes you'll gain a lot, no it's not healthy. If you continue with a healthy lifestyle you will stay within the limits and you will be able to loose the weight after birth pretty quickly.

Answer

Not me, but my sister in law gained 115 with her first pregnancy 8 years ago. She gained the “eating for 2” mentality immediately. She is 6 feet tall but still a massive woman now..not sure how much she’s taken off. I am actually having twins but can barely eat for one, let alone 3.

Answer

You often see celebs having massive weight gain - I imagine having a $$$ magazine endorsement, personal trainer and chef would help ease any worries about getting it off later!? Then there are the ones who have and maintain a fit pregnancy and get absolutely bashed in the media for setting ‘unrealistic expectations for women’. 
TBH my fear would be putting all of that unnecessary strain and pressure on your joints and heart. Pregnancy is hard enough! Plus not feeding your baby the best you can the most of the time. Sure the occasional treat won’t hurt and your belly makes a great tray 😂 but shouldn’t pregnancy be the time you’re treating yourself the absolute best with diet and exercise to create and grow your beautiful baby?
I know there are medical conditions like pica which prompt unusual and severe cravings in women, but I feel like the ‘oh I just HAD to have a pack of Oreos every night’ is much more a lack of self-control than hormonal 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I lost 30-50 lbs every pregnancy! I can’t imagine gaining much less that much, but a lot of women say, “I’m pregnant and I can eat whatever I want” so a lot do gain a lot! If you continue to eat a normal healthy diet you shouldn’t gain more then the extra fluid, baby, placenta etc!

Answer

its generally noted that if your start weight is low, you typucally put on more weight than the average. I started around 130 and am about 180 now. every pregnancy is different.

Answer

That’s a lot. I’m 16 weeks and I’ve gained 2.

Answer

I had a friend who gained 100 pounds. I gained 50 pounds with my last, but I was fairly under weight. A healthy weight for me is about 125-130 and I was about 108 when I got pregnant.

Answer

Gained 55 with my first and already up 14 lbs at 17 weeks with this one so will probably gain the same.  Thankfully lost all 55 after first baby.

Answer

I gained 70 lbs with my first, but I was underweight to begin with. I started at 90lbs and weighed in at 160 lbs the morning I was induced. My doctor didn’t mind it because she felt like I was underweight when I started out. I am going to make a point to workout for a minimum of 30 minutes everyday to ensure this doesn’t happen again. I am not starting out under this time so I can’t afford a 60 pound weight gain lol
