30-35 with both. I’m 5’9” 150 usually and gained mostly after 20 weeks. Lost it all and then some breastfeeding

I gained about 20lbs, started at 133 and was 134 two weeks PP, haven’t weighed myself since but all my clothes fit so don’t feel the need to. Am 10 weeks PP now and did not breastfeed.

Gained about 50 lbs. doctors didn’t mind but did label it as excessive weight gain in my chart. So far have lost 40 lbs at about 5 weeks post partum. Lost 30 lbs basically immediately after giving birth (the baby was big at almost 10 lbs so he made up a good chunk of it!)

The weight loss seems to have slowed down dramatically so we’ll see if those last 10 lbs come off with breastfeeding and time.

I gained 36 with the first, 28 with the second, and 26 with the third. I was the same weight each time I got pregnant and my largest baby was 7 pounds 8 oz (when I gained 28 pounds), my second largest baby was 7 pounds 4 oz (when I gained 36 pounds), and my smallest was 7 pounds 1 oz (when I gained 26 pounds).

It took me 5 months to lose the 36 pounds; 4 weeks to lose the 28 pounds; and 3 months to lose the 26 pounds.

40 with each kid. I inhaled non-complex carbs because they were the only foods that didn't make me sick and took the egde off of the nausea that plagued me.

This is why I gained more weight with my second. If my stomach was empty I would get really sick and vomit up water and stomach acid, so I basically force fed myself crackers and bread even when I wasn’t actually hungry. It was awful.

Gained 60 with all 3 kids. Started around 135lbs at 5'7". Now at 40 I am 145lbs. Cannot lose the last 10 pounds to save my life.

Each kid was over 9+ pounds.

Started off with a BMI of 21 and gained 29 pounds. Gained a lot in the late second trimester and then basically plateaued and slowly gained the last 5-10 pounds.


Lost 22 lbs in 3 weeks and then lost the rest when once I weaned at 4 months

45 pounds but I have to imagine that a ton of it was water weight as it all came off within a month PP.

35 lbs first pregnancy. 20 lbs the second pregnancy, after getting a gestational diabetes diagnosis and having to follow a special diet and walk after every meal - I didn't gain any weight my 3rd trimester, which my OB was happy with (I was about 20lbs over my pre-children weight).
Both kids weighed almost exactly the same (6lbs 13oz, 6lbs 14oz; both born on their due dates).
