[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]70, but I was small before. I think larger women dont have to gain as much[/quote]

You most certainly didn't have to gain 70 lbs. No one does.

I'm 4.11 and gained about 35 lbs. It was mostly water weight and after spending 5 days in the hospital I came home only a few lbs heavier than I was before getting pregnant. [/quote]

And yet some of us do. I gained 65 with my first and closer to 80 with second. It all came off with zero effort within 6 months, with the first 30 coming off within a couple weeks. I agree it’s mostly water. But I think some of us retain absurd amounts of water. My doctor didn’t really have an explanation but said she’s seen it before. If your weight gain isn’t causing gestational diabetes or hypertension and you lose it easily with breastfeeding, it’s probably not an issue.[/quote]

I'm aware that so many do. But PP said "I think larger women don't need to gain as much" implying that because she was small she needed to gain 70 lbs. No one NEEDS to gain 70 lbs (even though we do) whether you are big or small. [/quote]
