Re: quit smoking and gaining weight
Don't worry about it,.u did a great thing by quitting, some women do not even quit.
I gain alot of weight in the beginning and then like none in the end.
The last 2 months I only gained 3 pounds but my babies gained weight.
Everyone is diff. If u are hungry eat..and pat yourself on the back that u are already a good mommy!

I agree. The early weight will balance out later once your metabolism adjusts.

Re: quit smoking and gaining weight
I quit when I found out I was pregnant. I have gained about 30 pounds so far (probably a bit more  ) at 31 weeks. I think quitting definitely has somthing to do with it. I will worry about losing weight after I have the baby. DO not worry now

Re: quit smoking and gaining weight
You did a great thing for your baby, even better if you stay a non smoker after he/she is born. Smoking contributes to the SIDS risk.
The weight gain thing-I am not a smoker, but I can tell you with both my pg's, i gained at least 14 pounds by 15 weeks pg.
I think you are predestined to either gain weight fast when you are pg or not, heridertery thing i think.
I ate 100% times better this pg than with DD, and i still gained like nuts!
Don't worry though, the weight comes off after! I gained 50+LBS with dd and i was 5 lbs away from my pre pg weight when she was 5 months old when i got pg again.

Re: quit smoking and gaining weight
I quit when i found out. I started doing some light exercise (like walking on the treadmill for 2 miles) a couple of times of week to help keep the quitting smoking lbs off.

Re: quit smoking and gaining weight
I'd rather hear you gained too much weight and see you have a 10 pound baby because you stopped an unhealthy habit than hear you smoked and had a 5 pound baby. I also hope you can stay off the smokes after the baby as well.

Re: quit smoking and gaining weight
Thaks ladies!! This is my second pregnancy and I quit with my first too.
I embaressed to say but I gained a total of 80 lbs. with him. He was a 9 lb. 7 oz. baby! I told myself this time would be different but I see the same pattern.. I guess I can't stress to much about it... if it''s gonna happen it's gonna happen. I'm not one that does well on diets and starving myself when I'm hungry....
I did loose it then.. I WILL loose it again. It's just strange.. I've never had a problem with my weight untill I quit smoking a become preggo...
