[quote=Anonymous]All the anecdotes I hear suggest you gain more with each pregnancy and the babies tend to get bigger with each delivery. That was certainly true for my mom even though she was never a big eater, my dad had to make special meals for her just to get her to eat some protein, etc. To make a long story short, my current practice would like me to gain less weight with this second pregnancy. My old practice was happy with the weight I gained last time but my current practice thinks less weight gain = smaller baby = easier delivery. I'm not so sure it's that simple, but I figure there's no harm in gaining 5-10 lbs less this time around as long as I don't have to do anything extreme to achieve that. Just curious - have any of you had any luck with reducing your weight gain in your second pregnancy? Or more importantly, were your second babies smaller than the first? Thanks![/quote]
