How much did you weigh ...

Postby BlueLittleBella » Apr 05, 2006 2:26 pm

at the end of the pregnancy - compared to pre-pregnancy weight?

And what is your current weight, compared to your pre-pregnancy weight?

.... curious little me.... :wink:

With both of my pregnancies I was 40 lbs heavier the day I gave birth compared to when I got pregnant. I managed to lose 20 lbs in the beginning gain it all back and another 40 lbs, have no idea how I did that when I was hardly eating but I did. I lost 20 lbs from the birth with both and never managed to lose anymore after that. I only lost the extra from Isabella after I got pregnant with John. I'm just telling myself now that I'm saving this extra 20 for my next pregnancy :wink: .

I started at the same weight with all of my pregnancies, but I lost less and less each time thanks to better treatment. With #1 I dropped 30 lbs in the 1st trimester, with #2 it was 25 lbs, with #3 20 lbs, and only 15 lbs with #4. My body quickly got back to its comfortable starting point once I could eat and drink, and I gained normal pregnancy weight then and wound up 20 pounds above pre-pg weight at the end. Except with #4, where I lost again at the end and would up only 15 lbs above pre-pg weight. I lost the pregnancy weight within a few days of delivering, and I've been hovering around the same weight I was pre-HG.

I was 2 pounds lighter than my pre-pg weight the day I gave birth, and I'm quite thin to begin with bec. of the latent hyperthyroidism I had then.

I lost 23 pounds to HG around month 3 of pg, and people said I looked like a starvation victim. I'm now an okay weight. I am almost back to my pre-pg weight, and am okay with staying where I'm at. It wasn't healthy to be so thin, and I didn't feel good at all.

Ugh, HG sucked!!

First pregnancy:
• pre pg-127
• lowest pg-111
• highest pg-134
• 2 months post-132

Second pregnancy:
• pre pg-130
• lowest pg-125
• highest pg-145 (i think?)
• current-135

This means I weigh more now than I did at my heaviest point during my first pg. :shock:

Maybe I should answer my own question :) ?

Pre-pregnancy 143
Lowest in preg. 126
14 days over due 147

Now 128

So... if I loose 15 lbs for each pregnancy, I can have 9 more kids before I am nothing :lol:

I was 140lb when I got pregnant with Kimi, and 183lb when I had her, so gained 43lb. I still have no idea how I managed it because I barely ate for the first 6 months.

I can't really work my current weight to my pre-preggo weight as I'm preggo now!

Depending on the scale and the week I'm ranging 6-8 lbs over my starting weight. I lost 23 lbs but have gained it back + the 6-8 lbs. Ithink about 1/2 of my weight loss may have been due to dehydration.

With first two pregnancies I lost about 15 lbs during first three months and then regained so that on delivery day I weighed within a pound of my starting weight. After delivery I lost so I ended up thinner than before pregnant.

This time I lost a little over 25 during the first three months. I finally went over my starting weight by 2 pounds at week 35 but then my insurance decided to stop paying for Zofran and I had to cut my dosage in half to make the pills last longer so I started to get sick again. By week 38 when I was induced I had lost more and ended up weighing about 4 pounds less than starting. My dr was very upset to see me going back into the negative during the last month! Right now, about 3 months pp I weight about 10 pounds less than a year ago.

postpartum, I lost slowly but lost continually

Jack

Pre-pg weight 110 lbs
Lowest weight 95 lbs (at 10 weeks)
Current weight 120 lbs (how I managed... don't know)

Since I only have a week to go... its not going up! At delivery, I will likely weigh less than my pre-pg weight due to the baby, placenta, fluid volume, etc...

The weight I gained is really in fluid and baby, since looking at my face, ribs, legs, my friends and family say I am skin and bones and belly :cry:
