Mom's pregnant with #2
How much weight have you gained the 2nd time around? With my first DC I gained 22lbs this pregnancy I've gained 50!! WTH I'm so worried I won't lose it. Is it normal to gain so much more weight the 2nd time around?

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I gained about 40lbs with my DS. I'm currently 25 weeks with twins and up about 20lbs so far... I feel like I'll end up gaining about 45lbs this time.
Don't stress, the weight will come off!!! Baby needs it.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I gained 50 with #1 and 45 with #2. I also had 5 pounds to lose before i got pregnant again and that never happened. Don't worry, it will come off with time!

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I am sure it will be harder for me to lose it this time, I'm 7 years older. But I gained 56 lbs with my daughter and I am right on track to gain the same. Only my starting weight was 10 lbs more. I lost all but 3 lbs the first time within 6 months.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I gained 32 lb. with LO #1.
So far with this one I have gained 30, and have a few weeks left to go....I'm sure I'll top the 40 mark.
I attribute it to being a few years older, and also not being in as good of shape to begin with.
Oh, and more ice cream than I had the first time around.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
For some crazy reason I'm gaining a lot LESS with this pregnancy. With DD I think I gained 35-40lbs.. with this one I'm up 22lbs at 36.5 weeks. I think it's because my first pregnancy I worked full-time and I was sitting at a desk most of the week.. now I work part-time and spend the rest of my time dealing with a 2.5 year old.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I just found out I am preggo with #2 so I cant give you a gauge of how much I have gained this time. I am really going to try to not gain a lot this time though. I gained 80 lbs last time around. I did lose it all, unfortunately since losing it, I gained a bunch so I am starting up this time.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I gained almost 40 with DS #1 and I struggled to get it off and keep it off for 5 years. When I got pregnant with this LO I was 18lbs more than I started with my first but at 24 weeks I've only gained 4lbs so far. I attribute this to morning sickness lasting until week 20. In the end I'm hoping to only gain 20-25lbs this time but we'll see.

I'm on #4 but I gained less with each pregnancy. Too early to say if the pattern will continue this time around!

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
with DC#1 I gained a ton, with this one I am 20 weeks and up 10 lbs. I suspect by the end I will be up a total of around 30 lb.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
Not sure if there's a normal or not, but I gained 27 lbs with my first pregnancy and I will probably end up gaining about the same with this pregnancy. I'm 33w and up about 21 lbs already.

I gained about 35 with DD1 and at 36w have gained about 25 with DD2. I was like 15 lbs heavier to start though, so I am still up from where I was when I delivered DD.

Re: Mom's pregnant with #2
I'm in the first trimester so I can't gauge how much I've gained yet.
BUT I started out feeling less toned and feel like I'm not eating as healthy as the first time around.
The first time I gained about 30 lbs and lost it all and then some shortly after. I'm hoping for similar results this time around!

Mom's pregnant with #2
Just got my BFP on Sunday so not sure yet. Gained 45 lbs with DS. Virtually same starting weight for #2. I'm a little concerned because I'm less active now than I was back then so we'll see. Of course I have plenty of time to work on that
