Anyone else scared of putting on 5 stone again?

I am trying to be good I really am, but I was MASSIVE after my last baby and scared it's going to happen again. Anyone successfully not got really fat on their second (if they did on the first that is).

I put on over 4 stone with my first (stopped weighing myself at 38 weeks and went to 41!) but with second, put on about 3, and this one have put on 2 so far, but am only 28 weeks.... Guess I was fairly small to begin with, about 8 stone so seemed to need the extra weight. All came off within about 6 months and I am rubbish at exercise! Think having one or more already means you have less time to eat and more to do to burn it off iyswim?

That gives me some hope, but it didn't all come off me you see, i kept 1 and 1/2 stones of it. If I put on 5 stone again I will have gained 6 1/2 altogether! Only 6 weeks gone so far and already feeling the call of toast in between meals! Help!

I put on about 2 stone with first, 4 stone (at least) with second. I am currently 27 weeks with 3rd and have only put on just over a stone so far. So from my experience it can vary greatly with different pregnancies

I put on 5 stone with my first. I lots it all afterwards plus an extra stone. With my second I put on 2.5 stone by just eating slightly more sensibly (with my first I felt I had a passport to eat whatever I fancied whenever I fancied).

Yes I did deliberately eat loads when pregnant, but that is what i would do all the time if i didn't rein it in constantly.

I just think i must be a very very greedy person and when preg i actually can't stop myself :(

Am going to try what artichokes did and eat slightly sensibly, then lose all the weight after plus an extra stone. Hmm hopefully anyway
