I'm not familiar with pounds but I put on 16 kgs with my baby! But when I got home from the hospital I weighed myself and I'd lost 10 kgs just from baby and placenta etc.. Don't get to upset you will drop a heap when your baby is here :)

Im 25 weeks and have gained almost 50. My first pregnancy I gained 80. I can't handle being this overweight. It hurts alot. And I walk 7 miles a day. So I know your pain.

I'm 5'9" and Started out at 235lbs which is chunky for my body type but not overly obese. At 7 weeks the morning sickness came and I lost 40lbs and was 195 by 24 weeks which the morning sickness finally ended. I could finally brush my teeth without throwing up and gagging for 15 minutes. So then the pounds creeped back until I was 232lbs when I gave birth. Right after birth I lost 20lbs then months later I gained it back now I'm 240lbs again with stretch marks and loose belly skin and I gained weight in my arms. I don't look anything like I did when I got pregnant but I'm the same weight.

I went from 184 to 257 with my firat.....but 2 weeks after delivery I was 206. So mostly fluid gain. And now 7 months out I actually weigh around 165. Breastfeeding has really taken it outta me....lol, literally.
