re: Mama's who gained 45+ pounds ONLY!

Quoting Johanna's moma:“ just a question how did you ladys manage to gain so much weight? were you all realy realy skiny before hand? did you have gd?”

nope completely normal.... some people just gain more water weight than other people ... babies can be big... different people's bodys react different to pregnancy i guess

Quoting daniellefm♥:“ I'm not doing anything special. Idk if you know or not, but I had an E.D. before I got pregnant. so now I'm eating less than 1,000 caloires a day and breast feeding..”

Yeah I remember that, That's why I was wondering. not to be nosey.

With my first I was (underweight) 115 pre-preg 5' 6" or 7"and I gained 45 to 50lbs. My weight fluctuated between 130 and 140 until I got pregnant again. Getting pregnant againis what got me closet to my pre-preg weight. I was happy around 130 ish...I was in size 9 mostly sometimes a 7. Breastfeeding helped me lose weight.

I never had GD. I know for me I gained so much in my first pregnancy because I ate fast food all the time and just didn't really care about what I ate. Some women take care to eat really well though and they still gain a lot of weight. Every woman's body is different. This pregnancy I have been eating a lot better and rarely eat fast food. I have gained 23 lbs at almost 35 weeks.

OOh I hope I lose it quick...I have gained 49 lbs, and I am due in 13 days. I was 140 lbs pre pregnancy(but muscular wore size 5/6) and now I am 189...I am bummed!

I wasnt really skinny, I was average according to my doctor.
I don't eat a ton of junk, I actually eat a lot of whole grains and veggies, but I guess all the women in my family gain more weight than usual..

Quoting Hailey & Chase:“ do you remember around how long it took you to lose the weight the first time?”

Just about 10 months....It took me a while! But like the first 40-45 just melted...It is that last damn 20 or so...GRR!! I am 15 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight now, and I can't seem to lose it!!

Quoting Hailey & Chase:“ Yeah I remember that, That's why I was wondering. not to be nosey.”

lol it's okay 
I need to eat now , if I don't eat for a few hours I get really shakey.
but before I got pregnant I could go all day with out eating..

That's what I'm getting at... I know that I might never get back to pre-preg weight...Sometimes its just not in the cards, but I just want to get back to a size I'm happy with.

Quoting Johanna's moma:“ just a question how did you ladys manage to gain so much weight? were you all realy realy skiny before hand? did you have gd?”

I think mine is mostly water retention since I haven't been eating THAT poorly, and no I don't have GD...so I can't blame it on that. I think it is just a WHOLE LOT of water weight...and boob, and baby!

Quoting Johanna's moma:“ just a question how did you ladys manage to gain so much weight? were you all realy realy skiny before hand? did you have gd?”

I have no idea what happend to me, I think it's becuase I was 20 lbs under wieght when I got pregnant..
by 9 weeks I had gained 20 lbs, and by 20 weeks I had gained 40 lbs..!!

For me personally, I went from being the captain of the varsity soccer team my Sr. yr of highschool to being a pregnant chick going to a culinary university, eating classical french cuisine almost everyday.. Add my loss of metabolism, to the freshman 15 (we call it 50 in culinary school! lol) and cravings on top of all that.. It's not that hard to gain weight actually..

Yeah I was the same way pre-pregnancy. I usually wore a 7/8 so most of my weight was from muscle because I actually used to exercise lol.

I gained it by not being smart...Bottom line. Did I mention my mad cravings for french fries???
