DS1 - 1.5 sts
DS2 - 3sts
DS4 & DD - I can't remember but not a lot, maybe half a stone if that.
DS3, DS5 & DS6 - nothing.
I lost weight, I weighed less full term than when I found out I was pg.

I started from a different weight each time.
DD was the smallest with 8lb 3, DS5 & DS6 the biggest, both 9lb 14

1.2 st

About half a stone in first pregnancy, all went away after delivery (but then I put on some more...)
Will probably be the same this time too (I'm 27 weeks now). I've had gestational diabetes in both pregnancies and had to follow a strict eating regime which is the main reason I think, otherwise I'm sure I would have ballooned.

1 ds - 1.3 stone while pregnant he weighed 9 lbs at birth diet never changed though

INeedNewShoes · 07/07/2021 01:52

Half a stone, if that.

Weight has crept on since though as I just don't get the same exercise as pre parenthood, especially since DD stopped using the pushchair and no walk is actually exercise for me!

Susannahmoody · 07/07/2021 02:02

50 lbs with each child

ivfgottwins · 07/07/2021 02:47

About 2 stone with twins - breastfed them and back to pre pregnancy weight in 2 weeks

catfeets · 07/07/2021 03:42

About half a stone. I was already several stones overweight though.
After the birth I was ill for a few months (plus it was in lockdown) and have put on a LOT of weight.
I'm now pregnant again and am already putting on weight, whereas I lost weight in early pregnancy last time. I dread to think what my bmi is this time Blush

1 stone 10 pounds. Lost pretty much a stone at birth, I breastfeed so the rest came off a quite quickly after that.

applesarethebest · 07/07/2021 04:31

12 kg (2 stone)

GrrrlPwr · 07/07/2021 04:39

Lost weight. Hyperemesis hell

HumunaHey · 07/07/2021 05:29

1.5 stone so far. I'm just over 37weeks.

sarah13xx · 07/07/2021 05:45

I’m 34 weeks and have avoided weighing myself again but I did see it at a midwife appointment this week 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think I could be about 3 stone by the time I’m at the end

JeansShirtJeansJacket · 07/07/2021 05:50

First baby I put on about 3 stone. I went from being very skinny to being obese. I had bad SPD so could hardly move and became very depressed.

Second baby I put on about 1 stone, and lost it all and then some by the time she was 4 months. For some reason I found it way easier to manage my weight the second time around.

lifehappened · 07/07/2021 05:57

3 in the 1st and 1 in the second. Decided not to let that happen again as still bloody losing it

linerforlife · 07/07/2021 06:09

5 stone Grin Third trimester at the first lockdown so I ate ALL my anxiety! I also had to eat to stop morning sickness. I lost 2.5 stone by the time she was 9 months... am still working on the rest Hmm

citychick · 07/07/2021 06:10

I went from being a fit and healthy size 8 to a size 16. took me 2 years to get to a size 10. only had one baby. I have had to work really hard at staying in shape. I am 50 now and have maintained my size 10. pregnancy made my body explode.

I never looked at the scales.

Caspianberg · 07/07/2021 06:27

3 stone. But lost over half by the time I was home 2 days after birth, so a large chunk must has been baby related. Then the rest went within a few weeks

Passthewinebottle · 07/07/2021 06:30

DC1 (8lb 5) - 4 stone
DC2 (6lb 1) - 2 stone
DC3 (7lb 10) - 1.5 stone

Anonapapple · 07/07/2021 06:44

4.5 stone and 3 stone

Nat4392 · 07/07/2021 07:19

11lb. Baby was 7lb9oz

CentralLondonPregnant · 07/07/2021 07:25

How much weight you put on varies a lot depending on your starting weight and other factors. I started my pregnancy with a low BMI (18.5) and weighed about 7 and three quarter stone. I’m now 27.5 weeks pregnant and have put on a bit over 9kg so far, which is 20 pounds (almost a stone and a half). All of that is my torso including boobs (which went up 5 sizes!). My arms, legs, face etc all look the same as before. I’m not sure where I’ll end up by the end of the pregnancy but I’m pretty relaxed about it!

Garman · 07/07/2021 07:30

3 stone on both, (pregnant with dc3 now and expecting the same). Lose about a stone or slightly more after birth and the rest comes off steadily over about 9 months. Exercise, gestational illness and my standard diet don't affect it, seems to just be the set amount I put on in just developing wider hips and an average sized bump.

NoHeavenNoMore · 07/07/2021 07:52

I've put on two stone Shock

ivfgottwins · 07/07/2021 07:55

For some reason I found it way easier to manage my weight the second time around.

I found this too even though me second pregnancy was twins and I definitely ate for 3!
