lindamc - 96 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I went from 135 up to 175! AAACK! I'm 5 weeks pp and at 150 pounds (including clothing)... I have my flat stomach again (weird), but it seems all the weight I gained went to my thighs and booty! I'm just taking it slowly now, and will start walking again once I get the okay! Good luck!

captshelley - 97 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I gained 50 pounds and still have (according to the scale) 20 pounds to go. My boobs are twice as big as before though so I knock off 5 pounds. I walk almost daily and just have several small meals a day.

brandi j. - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am expecting my 5th baby, and find that it is as different for each pregnancy, as it is for each person. With my 1st child, I weighed 125 lbs., I gained 50 lbs w/ him. Then after giving birth, I only lost 28 lbs, and when he was 6 mos old found out I was expecting child #2. With child #2, I gained only 28 lbs, the exact amount that I had lost after baby #1. After giving birth to child #2, who I breastfed, I lost 40 lbs, not sure how long it took to do this. When he was 14 mos old, I found out I was expecting child #3. While preg. w/ child #3, I gained only 21 lbs. After giving birth to her, and breastfeeding her, I lost 31 lbs, putting me back to my original weight of 125, but I noticed it took work to get the weight to come off, where as the 2 times before it wasn't all that hard. When baby #3 was 9 mos old, I found out that I was expecting baby #4. I gained 39 lbs while pregnant w/ her. After giving birth, I have lost 24 lbs, and the weight did not come off easily, but I wasn't really too motivated to help it, and now she is 13 mos old and I am expecting child #5. I plan to walk and eat really well this time, that is what I did when expecting baby #3, and I felt great! W/ baby #4, I kinda just ate what I wanted and did hardly any exercise. After having my last 3 babies (I didn't know about it after having baby #1), I have wore a girdle, immediately after delivery until 6 weeks postpartum, and this helped my weak tummy muscles to be held in place better, and my tummy shrunk down very quickly. I, of course, still have a pouch, but most ppl don't notice it unless I point it out to them.

michaela - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I put on 50+ lbs but i did also give up cigs, i'm still off the cigs and have lost 37 lbs so far, my daughter is almost 6 months, im breast feeding and am just keeping a watch on what i eat and trying to drink plenty of water. it took 9 months to gain so i hope to have it all off for going back to work at the end of July.

mommy-of-3 - 98 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I've gained 30 pounds so far and I'm 26 weeks. Losing the weight depends on a lot of things. One thing I've noticed is if you breastfeed it will come off faster. I think with my last son I gained 40 pounds total and it took me about 4-5 months for it all to come off.

Cindie - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) So far i'm 19weeks and I've put on 5-6lbs. But I'm gonna wrap my stomach after the baby.

blessed-in-atl - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I gained 22.5 kgs with my last pregnancy and it took about 8 months to get back to my pre-pregnancy size. A good rule is it took 9 months to get that big so give yourself 9 months to get it off. I did not wrap my tummy, I hadn't even heard of it until 2 months ago!

Baby3OnWay - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I lost my weight right away and I know breastfeeding works for that too! Also walking did wonders for me!! Other then that I have no idea I lost all my weight with my last two babies within a week ot two

eastern-Canadian-Lady - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I've lost ost 33 lbs, and gained nothing back. I can't eat a thing, or at least I couldn't until yesterday. last night I ate my first real meal since October. (nachos, yum!) I was sick with throat infection, then a really bad lung infection before I got pregnant. I didn't even know when pregnancy occured because I've been throwing up since the very beginning of October. I had been gradually decreasing my med since last April and I stopped taking it completely at the end of November, so the doc said my period probably wouldn't come back for a few months (he said to check back in April if it doesn't resume!) bc it affects my hormones. I didn't find out I was pregnant until half way through January. I was so shocked!! (It's a good thing I didn't wait until April!!!) Anyway, back to the question. I definately WOULD NOT wrap your tummy. I would worry about circulation. How far along are you? Are you able to walk much? I did that with my first pregnancy. I can't this time around bc I was told NO exercise (of any form) because I had spotting and contractions already at almost 20 weeks. I am at 24 weeks now. Do what feels right to you. If it still bothers you, I would talk to a doctor or nurse and see if there is anythign they can recommend. I hope it all works out for you. Good Luck, E-C-L

agonzales - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Everyone is different. With my first pregnancy I gained 28lbs. and lost it right away. With my second I gained 19lbs. and I lost it right away plus like 10 more pounds. Of course I gained weight since that pregnancy til this one lol. So far on this pregnancy I only gained 3lbs. but Im only in my 16th wk. I hope not to gain too much and I hope I lose it all.

Mommyof2boys - 98 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I've gained 14lbs so far and have 6 weeks to go, everyone is different. With my first it took me 4mos to lose the weight but I was very active, some can lose it right away and others they say it takes 9mos to put the weight on so figure 9mos for it all to come off. Lots of women love breastfeeding, it burns a lot of calories.
