pre-pregnancy weight???

What was your pre pregnancy weight and how much have you gain??

A year ago I was 185 lbs, I lost 45 lbs and before getting pregnant I was 140, I now weight 150, I decided to lose weight because I didn't want to get gestational diabetes, but it seems as I'm still developing!

Started at 225 (still hadn't lost all my baby weight from last time) got down to 200 even because I was so sick.  Now at twenty six weeks I weigh just under 220 pounds. Hoping the highest I get this time is 230-240. (Got upto 260 with my daughter!)

Pre-Pregnancy I weighed 112. @40 weeks I weighed 125lbs and my daughter was born at 6lbs 4oz. Dropped down to 108 due to breastfeeding. I wanted to keep the little weight though. It looked good on me, lol.

I was 180, excellent health, a lot of muscle, and i didn't have gestational diabetes. I had some fat here and there but for my bone structure i was healthy and looked like i was only 150. I'm now 199 at 26+4.

I started at 115 and I am now at 130 and 25w 4d. With my first I gained 68lbs and I am trying my hardest not to gain that much again. I am hoping to only get up to 145 at most.

I'm with you newjulymommy,  I weighed more, lost 15 lbs in the 1st trimester and at 29w5d I have only gained a pound. But what u gain also depends on where you started, if u were considered underweight, on target or over weight. If your dr. Isn't stating you are gaining too much, then I wouldn't worry.

Also, GD happens because of how ur body handles the insulin it produces while u r pregnant.  Pregnancy and the baby can actually block the insulin you produce.

I was 203 and now at 40 weeks im 223, yes I am over weight. No i do not have GD and my blood pressure is EXCELENT, so just because you start off over weight doesnt mean you cant have a healthy pregnancy

Before I was pregnant I was 158, and now I am 21 weeks and weigh 163. Which is a little on the lower side but my midwive said I'm ok and not to worry that I will get most my weight gain in my 3rd trimester.

I weighed 120 before I got pregnant, lost like 10 lbs in the beginning of my pregnancy due to bad nausea and vomitting. I'm now 26w4d and I weigh 120.
