Prepreg: 126lbs
Low point: 112lbs
I haven't had the baby yet, so maybe I shouldn't have responded, but as I am sooooo close, I shouldn't gain too much more (right??): 157lbs
I guess we'll see what happens PP!

ETA: Okay, here's my update. I was actually 159lbs when I delivered, and now at 5 months PP I am at 140 lbs and just CAN'T lose any more. :?

I'm fuzzy on some of the details- DH calls it denial. But here's what I remember:

#1
pre-pg: 99
lowest: don't remember- in the 80's
highest: 116 (steroids)
pp: 90 but gained back to 100 after a year

#2
pre-pg: 100
lowest: again, I don't remember but I remember weighing 88 at one point
highest: 104
pp: 95, gained to 100 in 6 months

#3
pre-pg: 105
lowest: 82
highest: 112
pp: a year later was 110

#4
pre-pg: 114 (extra weight helped a lot!)
lowest 93
current weight: 30 weeks, 110 (woo-hoo!)
pp: don't know yet!

This is an oldie, but a goodie thread.

just a bit of background on me. I seemed to have gained a total of 20 pounds in 4 years (the length of time I have been married), 10 pounds put on last year in Oct. when DH and I went on a trip for a month. I was so upset that I ballooned so fast and so much; now I understand why.

I also haven't had my baby yet (still 4 weeks to go) so there may be changes between now and then. But here goes:

I started at 196
I lost 30 in first few months (exactly 166 in the hospital)
started gaining (FINALLY) around 6-7 months
Just getting back to pre-pg weight now

I hope to weigh around my marriage weight, not my pre-pg weight, when I deliver.

I am new to this site. My mom found it for me. Well I was severe with my first pregnancy. I am now prego again and its starting again. I was never told about HG before.

First pg
180 before
145 at 3 months
160 at delivery
I threw up about 7-8 times per day, during and after delivery as well. Its hard to push when your puking.

This pg
I am only 11 weeks along and have already lost 14 pounds and have been in the ER once, and hospitilized for 23 hours once. Both this past week.

If anyone has med ideas (I've tried most of them), please let me know, or tell me what worked for you. Cause if this new drug don't work, doc says I'm in the hospital for a month on IV. Please help!

P.S. Zofran doesn't help me!

Hi and welcome to HER!

Please go and check out the Medications folder for more ideas. There is also more information under the "For Health Professionals" button at the top of this screen.

Another good spot for info is the ladies in the first trimester forum. They would be happy to have you join them there for support.

I am so sorry about the HG but so glad you found us. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Welcome DixieMama!

That sure sounds rough I hated my lack of good weight gain (in both my pg's) and I felt utterly wornout afterwards.

Please find our first tri folder and we'd love to have you here thru your pregnancy (and beyond!).
