Hi

With my first dc I put on 1.5 stone. But at the moment I'm total 4 stone over weight and can't put anymore weight on with this pregnancy.

Did you find that less went on 2nd time round

Sorry other way around for me! Currently 39 weeks... I think I've put on about 2.5 whereas only about 1 with DD1. I have eaten like a pig though.

I did!

I gained 5 stone (!!!) first pregnancy and 2.5 stone second pregnancy. However, I was normal weight and BMI first pregnancy to begin with and fell pregnant 9 months after DD was born so was still very overweight and BMI 30 so possibly didn't gain as much because of that.

Am now 8 weeks into 3rd pregnancy, back down to normal weight and eating like a horse. Really hope I don't go the same way as my first pregnancy!!

I put on the same with both about 1.5 stone up at the end but I lost some at the start so probably 2 stone from my lowest weight. I was half stone lighter getting pregnant with dd2 aswell.

This time I was half a stone about healthy bmi at the start and now at 13 weeks I'm just at bmi of 25 having lost some weight again through sickness. I hope I don't put on much this time because even if it is 1.5 stone it will be too much for me.

I put in more with DC2 (4st) but was nauseous and depressed for the whole pregnancy. Comfort eating was my only thing I could do! Breastfed like a Trojan and was back to normal size after 9 months.

I put on 2.5 stone with 1st and now pregnant with second and eating like a horse, but would ideally like to put on less as it took a while to shift...when I'm out of the nauseous eat everything in sight 1st trimester I'll try to eat a bit more healthily!
