Experience with weight gain during pregnancy?

Question

18 weeks 2 days. I am 144 5’5. Last pregnancy I gained 50 pounds so I am working my butt off to maintain my weight as long as possible. I have gained I think in total 2 pounds this pregnancy so far. I started out at 125 my first pregnancy so I had a lot “wiggle room”. I had my son a year ago and never lost it all so started out bigger. Just worried that I’m going to blow up and end up at 175 again. 
Does anyone have experience with weight gain during pregnancy’s.. where you able to maintain second time around? What was your end result..

Answer

Idk about end results but with my daughter I gained 60 lb and I’m starting 35 lb heavier with this baby than I did with my daughter. I’m still down 4 lb from pre pregnancy at almost 19 weeks. I know with my daughter I used being pregnant as an excuse to be a total pig, this time around I’m eating much more normally and it seems to be working. Honestly, as long as you don’t eat more calories than you burn, you won’t gain any weight that isn’t baby related, and the majority will come right off after baby is born.

Answer

Not quite the answer to your question but I’m gaining slower this 2nd time... but look so much bigger, so I find that a little odd. I’m petite. I didn’t look pregnant until 15wks, and now at 16wks I look like I did with my first at 25wks! By this time with my first baby I gained 8lbs... and this one only 4lbs. I didn’t gain a lot total with her 17lbs (she came at 34wks so didn’t make it long enough to see the true end result)
