    As I got older I gained more weight with each pregnancy. First child at 18 gained 20 lbs, lost it all in a matter of time. Second child at 21, gained 25-30 lbs. Took at least 4-5 months to loose my baby fat. Third child at 23, gained 25-30 lbs again. I'm not 27 and have just lost my pregnancy weight from my 3rd child. The more children, the more weight. More children, less amount of time to work out...If I dont have another child by 30, I'm done. I could imaging being 35 or older with baby fat. It was too hard for me to loose all the weight at age 23, so I probably would never loose the weight at age 35.

    I was about 95 pounds and 5'2" pre pregnancy with both of my kids. With my 1st I gained 50 pounds total. I ate everything in site! lol With my current pregnancy I am 31 weeks and have gained about 28 pounds so far. I've been much better about cutting out all of the junk but the closer I get to my due date the harder it is to resist yummy sweets! What can I say, my baby loves cake and ice cream! lol I think it just depends how you let yourself eat while pregnant.

    I have four kids. I gained about 25 -30 pounds with each pregnancy. Just a warning if you are older you are more likely to gain weight.

    I gained 20 pounds with my first, 24 with my second

    My sister gained roughly the same amount with three of her four children (around 35 pounds). With her last pregnancy she decided to just eat all she wanted and she did. She gained 70 pounds plus.

    1rst pregnancy - 10 lbs

    this pregnancy 15+ so far

    I think if everything is similar and you take care of yourself the same way it is could be about the same. But nasesua could cause you to loose weight, where as GD could cause you to gain- so every pregnancy is diff b/c the size of the babe may be different too.
