How much did you weigh when you got pregnant with baby 2?

Jenny

I’m overweight currently but losing weight. I talked to my obgyn already about getting pregnant and she said it’s ok (as well as continuing to try to lose weight until I find out I’m pregnant) and that I’m not at a weight where she would say not to get pregnant. I’m 5’9”, 213lbs. With my son I was 185/190 when I got pregnant and gained 40/45 lbs. My dr said that they would just want me to only gain 15-25 lbs max. I really want a second child and don’t want to wait longer to lose 20+ lbs if I don’t need too. For personal reasons we’ve already put off having baby 2 for 1.5 years and I don’t want to wait any longer. So I’m just curious how much people have gained in their second pregnancies /how much you started at and if you found it easier to not gain as much weight. Did you see a nutritionist, did you log your food, etc? I want to have as heathy of a pregnancy as possible (obvious I know morning sickness and pregnancy can be hard to fully stick with it). Thanks!
