Way too much, but I may have been a little too light right before. I was 130 and ballooned up to 180 if not 190. My body collected every calorie I ate and spit out no milk for the kid.
I'm 5'7". |

| 3 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, after losing 15 pounds in the first 22 weeks due to HG. It was awful. The last 10 weeks of my pregnancy was non stop "you have got to get your weight up, eat more!" and me sobbing because I was trying but my body just fought me every step of the way. |

| 75 lbs. But I was slim before and baby was perfectly healthy. I lost it all within a few months- it came off quite easily. |

| Around 45. I did lose it PP 3x but it was some amount of effort. |

| About 20 pounds with each kid. |

| I have 4 kids. I gained 35-40 with the first three, but only 20 with my youngest. I was also heavier to start with the last pregnancy, so I think I naturally gained less. |

| Gained 60 with first and 75 with second. Lost it with no effort (the magic of breastfeeding) within 6 months. I was 125 pre-pregnancy both times. I have no idea why my body wants to get so fat when pregnant. I didn’t get GD or preeclampsia or have any complications either time. I was really stressed about the weight gain the first time but just rolled with it the second time knowing it would come off. |

How was it losing the weight? |

| I gained 30 pounds and lost it quickly but I think due to PPA making it tough for me to eat. 100% wouldn't recommend what I went through. |
