Forgot to say the reason doesn’t the difference was my #3 I moved to Maryland and the hot summer made me not want to eat as much.

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.

How was it losing the weight?

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.

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.

About 20 pounds with each kid.

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

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.

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.

Recs:

Underweight: BMI less than 18.5, gain 28–40 lbs
Normal weight: BMI 18.5–24.9, gain 25–35 lbs
Overweight: BMI 25–29.9, gain 15–25 lbs
Obese: BMI 30 or greater, gain 11–20 lbs

I lost 20 lbs with HG with child one. Starting bmi was 21. I gained 12-14 lbs of the weight back. That kid is healthy as a horse.

Baby 2, gained 20 lbs.

12- 15 pounds per pregnancy


And then gained a lot nursing
