did you lose weight from first before getting pregnant?

[lolajane2009]

Been debating having second. Son is only 5 and a half months but I have still not lost weight from him and wondering whether it would be bad to get pregnant again. Anyone else get preg without losng weight from previous?

I didn't lose any weight between DS1 and DS2, but lost it all and more after DS2 was born.

I lost about a stone and half before getting pregnant with ds and that took me into healthy bmi (top end mind but healthy). I then put 3 1/2 stone on when pregnant. Knowing we wanted to try for no. 2 quite quickly gave me the incentive to get the weight off and I tried in earnest when ds was about 4 months.

I am now pregnant with no 2 and am 37 weeks. I feel pregnant just before ds first birthday and had managed to lose 3 stone with help of ww. This time I have only put 2 stone on but did start slightly heavier. Will be heading back to ww approx 3 months after given birth I think.

I was worried that I would put in another 3 stone plus and then have 6 to lose which gave me incentive. Also think the closer you are to a healthy bmi the better chance you have of getting pregnant although this of course does vary from person to person.

Hope this helps xxxx

I didn't put much on with DS so had managed to loose it pretty quickly, unfortunately DS is crap at sleeping and I sought solace in cake, so I am in slightly less than ideal shape and got pregnant again when DS was 8 months. To be honest though I'm too tired to really care, and I figure if I can at least keep a bit active and eat healthily then I can try and keep the damage to a minimum and just sought it out when this baby is born. I only want two and I'm lazy enough to be able to convince myself that only having to make massive post-pregnancy effort once is a good thing

I didn't lose all my weight between DS1 and DS2 (23 month gap), then went to Slimming World when DS2 was 3 months old, lost it all and more but gradually put it back on and am now pregnant with DC3!
Ideally I would have be slimmer to start with in this pregnancy but there we go.
Will be signing up to WW shortly after this one (due in Sept) as twin sister gets married next Jan !

nope

Yes, but only because DS had a d&v bug at 9months that he gave to me. I lost 4.5kg in one weekend and didnt put it back on. Not recommended! Plus which, I lost weight both times in first trimester because of morning sickness.
