With my son:
Pre-pregnancy - 160
Lowest weight - 144 (to my memory)
Highest weight - 173
Post pregnancy - I was noticeably below pre-pregnancy by my 6 week.

With my daughter:
Pre-pregnancy - 134
Lowest weight - 119
Highest weight - 167
Current weight - not sure - I don't own a scale b/c I'd weigh myself too often - guessing around 150 and dropping.

started at 162
dropped to about 140
ended at about 180

(all of these numbers are higher then my norm- i am usually around 150)

(funny story- right before finding out i was pregnant i put on about 15lbs and coudn't loose it. I remeber trying to exercise and everything, it just wouldn't come off! Come to find out God had a plan- if i hadn't had that weight gain- i might have been in some trouble)

Pregnancy # 1

Start was 159
Lowest was 132
End was 181- lots of which was water and ALL weight gain was only from TPN.

I didnt hit my pre-preg until I was around 25 weeks??? And then I retained a LOT of water due to pre-e

2 weeks post partum I was around 170???

Then gained about 15 pounds due to my love affair with food that I couldnt control.

Pregnacy # 2

Started at 180
Lost 23 pounds when it had ended at 8 weeks

End weight was 157

Pregnancy # 3

Started at 169
Lowest was 150
End weight was 205 at 34 weeks

2 weeks post partum I was around 185 with very low muscle tone due to a full pregnancy in bed.

I gained a LOT of water weight.

1 year post partum Im around 175, but I gained a LOT of muscle back and that weighs a lot more than fat.

Like Jasime, I had put on some weight right before I got prego (both DH and I had jsut lost our grandmothers the few months before). Stress was very high.

I used to hover around 140-145 ish

So, I still have a way to go until I get back to the OLD me. But, its my goal this year.

[C&G'sMommy]

I started pre-preg with Caiden at 120 and I lost 42 pounds. I weighted 78 pounds when we lost him.

With this pregnancy I started at around 100 and have lost 10 pounds so far.

With my first pregnancy I gained 27 lbs, mostly in the last 7 weeks once HG mostly went away. With my last pregnancy I was at the weight that I started at before getting pregnant or 1.5 lbs below where I was when I tested +. I quickly dropped 20 lbs below but over the holiday gained almost all of it back, but at least I'm still just under my prepregnancy weight.

[catsandfrogs]

For me, it was different with each pregnancy...

#1 - lost 15 lbs during the worst of HG, gained 25 so I ended the pregnancy at 10lbs heavier than pre-pregnancy.

#2 - lost 20lbs before hospitalized at week 9, continued to lose in the hospital but not sure how much. Then I went on to gain all that back AND 40lbs ... have no idea how I did that. She was 9lbs 6oz at birth though.

#3 - lost 10lbs at the worst and have gained 2 back so far. We'll see how I do for the rest of the pregnancy...

Based on my first pregnancy. My pre-pregnancy weight was 120 lbs. I dropped to 98 lbs. by the 12th week when I was hospitalized for a massive clot. I was shocked because I'm 5'7" but my doc still didn't seem to get it that I was having major issues putting and keeping food in me. My end of pregnancy weight was 107 lbs.

Edited to clarify - my end of pregnancy weight was actually back up to 120. I lost 13 with the birth and left the hospital at 107.

I weighed about 10 lbs. more beginning each subsequent pregnancy and by the third I ended up at around 160 but then dropped very rapidly after the birth.

I now hover between 130 - 135.

I will have to explain some of my weight issues

Preg #1
Pre preg 107
at 25 weeks was 21 pds down
at 29 weeks had gained all back
at 33 weeks had gained 8 pds, So up to 115
(alot of my gaining weight back was due to swelling from Preeclampsia and water retention, as my kidneys shut down)
33 weeks 4 days I was 144, gained another 29 pds in four days due to PE
1 Week post 120, down 24 pds
1 month after I finished Beastfeeding I lost another 10 pds so down to 110

Preg #2
Pre preg 110
Lost 10-12 pds by 20 weeks
Gained weight back and was at Pre preg weight at 23 weeks
(due mostly to Preeclampsia again)
I do not know my weight at devilery at 23 1/2 weeks but I was averageing a 10-13 pds weight gain per day and was in the hospital 4 days before delivery. After Delivery i continued to gain my kidneys and liver were completely shut down.
2 weeks post part I was 125-130ish

almost a year post I am down to 112, and am still losing little by little as my body is still in repair.

If it were not for the PE I probably would have escaped strech marks, B/C I have none on my belly but everywhere but.
