I was wondering how much you weighed before becoming pregnant, how much you gained in total, and how long it took to lose the weight after the baby came. Also how old were you and how tall are you?

Thanks, this should be interesting to see.

  1. Lets see..I am 21 years old and I  am 5'8. I weighed 157lbs when I became pregnant and now weigh 198lbs at 39 weeks. Thats...41 lbs gained in total. I am hoping it till only take a few months to lose this weight bc I can usually lose it pretty quick.


  2. with my first i wieghed 105 at the end i weighed 150  baby 2 107 at end 125 baby 3 118 at end 162 it just depends on your diet and exercise but the i thank the heathyer you are the better just don't sit and eat all the time walk around and get some exercise or you will gain more fat that is harder to get off after the baby is born  

  3. I am 5'4" was 152 before my first gained 32lbs total and it took a year to get it all off.  

    When I got pregnant with my second, I was 148 and at 26 weeks have gained around 22 or 24lbs (eep!!)

  4. Height: Five feet four inches

    Weight: 111 lbs

    Age: 18

    How far am I: 12 weeks 5 days

    How much I've gained so far: 0 lbs


  5. With my first, I was 120 lbs when I got pregnant.  I was 160 when I had him.  I'm 5'4", and I had him when I was 27, almost 28.  I only ended up losing 20 pounds of the 40 I gained, and I lost that within the first few months.  With my second,  I was 140 lbs. when I got pregnant, and I weighed 174 pounds when I had him.  I'm now 4 1/2 weeks postpartum, and I've lost about 15 pounds of the weight, but I expect to lose more when I get back to work.   I'm 30 years old.

  6. I'm 5ft 4in....weighed 135 now 140. Gained a total of 5 pounds so far and I'm 7 months pregnant!

  7. I was sixteen and gained 31 pounds with my first. Then when I was 19 and had my second I gained about 29, then at 23 I had my third I gained 40 pounds he was a huge baby though!

  8. 1st Pregnancy: I am 5'6" and I was 23 years old and 118 lbs when I became pregnant. I gained 35 lbs and lost all but 10 lbs during the first two weeks after she was born.

    2nd: I was 24, almost 25, and roughly 130 lbs when I became pregnant. I gained 38 lbs and it took me 2 years (yikes) to lose all of the weight.

    3rd: I became pregnant the day after my 28th birthday. I am now 21 weeks and have gained 4 lbs so far.  

  9. I actually lost 10 lbs and then gained 30. So over all I gained 20 lbs. And I am 27

  10. I was 21 when I had my son, I was quite light when I got pregnant so the doctor encouraged me to gain more weight.  I gained 50 lbs, and lost 55 after he was born, took about 3 months for it to fall off.  I am 5'9.

  11. Im 24, 5'1

    with my daughter I was 21 years old and I gain only 18 lbs. and her size was 7lbs. 8 oz and 20 inches long

    with my son(6 weeks old) I gained 12 lbs. and his size was

    9 lbs.15oz. and 21.5 inches

  12. I weighed 115 pounds before pregnancy ( just over 5' 9 )

    I am 23 weeks and am already at 132!!!

    I guess if you are "underweight" prior to pregnancy you gain more, if overweight you gain less...


  13. With my daughter I was 18 years old I weighted 123 and gained 22 lbs I went back to the same weight in no time.

    With my son I was 21 I weighed 132 and gained 21lbs with him the weight did not come off so easy lol :) Finally when it did I got prego with # 3 lol :)

    23 years old # 3 I am 18 weeks 1 day and I have not gained anything just yet I am 135

    Whew I wish I could go back 5 years ago lol to my pre-prego weight :)

  14. 22, 5'4 and in 34 weeks i have gained about 30lbs I don't think I will gain anymore, I haven't really gained any more weight in a month.

  15. With my first pregnancy I gained about 45 pounds, I was 22 years old and weighed about 120 lbs pre-pregnancy. With my second pregnancy 3 years later, I gained only 13 lbs, but I believe that to be due to the fact that I had only lost about 20 of the lbs gained during my prior pregnancy, making my starting weight for the second pregnancy around 145 lbs. I stand 5'8" tall (for both pregnancies!)

  16. I was 21 with my first i weighed 119lbs when I got pregant and weighed 188 on delivery day. It took me 6 months to get back to 120 but I went back to work three weeks after delivery, my second I was 29 and weiged 130 when I got pregnant and weighed 165 at delivery. I am almost 32 and am pregnant with twins I weighed 155 at beginning and am now 205 and delivering by induction on sat. Oh yeah, I am 5ft. 6in. Oh it really did help to lose the belly by breastfeeding

  17. 24 years old.

    before pregnancy i was at 130lbs

    At nine months pregnant I was at 148lbs

    After having the baby I was back at 130

    Yup very nice huh? didn't gain any weight!

    I am a sord of wobbly though I need to get toned!!!

    oh and i"m 5'6 tall

  18. I was 25 when I became pregnant with my first baby. I weighed 130 pounds and was around 190 when I delivered.

    I was 26 with my second baby and weighed 135 and was around 184 when I delivered.

    I've had a hard time losing the weight this second time. So far I've only lost 30 pounds and it's been 5 months.

    Also, I'm 5'11".

  19. with my first pregnancy i was 22 i gained 17 lbs, my second pregnancy i was 24 and i gained 23 lbs. I am 5'2.

    I lost the weight within weeks with both!

  20. Age: never mind

    Total weight gain: I'm 38 weeks and have gained 20 pounds so far. I had a sono two days ago showing that my baby weighs about 6 and 1/2 pounds. I was average weight before pregnancy, never been over weight. I exercised before as well as during pregnancy, so hopefully any weight gain should come off once I get back to a somewhat normal exercise routine.

  21. i was 20 when i found out and i weighed 140 at 5'10. i turned 21 not much later and now at 36w i weigh 197......the dr said i have a very large baby in there! i eat very healthy and have been "excersizing" as much as i can the whole time. it is depressing to think about but my stomach sticks straight forward. unless im waddling, you cant even tell im pregnant from the back! the last 17 lbs cam on in the last 2 weeks, they say its water but my mom gained 40 and it took her 3 weeks to loose it all.

  22. I gained 15 lbs during my pregnancy.  I was of average weight before the pregnancy and am an average height.
