I’m entering my third trimester and i’ve gained 5 pounds. Everybody’s experience is so different

Honestly that's why I'm preparing my body right now. I feel like if you are healthy before and just maintain during you should be fine and the weight will come off easily after. Just don't focus too much on the scale while pregnant and don't overeat

I went from about 130 to 165 with both. Healthy amount of weight gain. Took 6-9 months to lose all the baby weight.

First pregnancy I gained 20lbs until I got preeclampsia so I don't count swelling 🤷‍♀️ . Was back to pre birth weight by 8 weeks . 2nd pregnancy I was so active , walked 2 miles per day, gained 55lbs due a condition that gives you a lot of extra amniotic fluid . Was back below pre pregnancy weight at 6 weeks . A lot is genetics and hormones . I focused more on how I felt than my weight though.

If you're more concerned about your own looks over bringing a child to this world, don't have kids. Resolve your body image issues first.

I gained 55-70 pounds with both pregnancies. You’re growing a human. If youre worried about weight, don’t have kids. You’re not ready

Then you aren't ready to be a parent.

I gained 20 pounds with all 4 babies. Gained almost nothing before 20 weeks, all between 20-40 weeks. Lost it all straight after. Didn’t excercise during pregnancy expect some walks during the week.

I gained 45 and dropped 28 just by having my baby

It’s actually different for people. You can only maintain so much. Hormones play a large role in that!
