Everyone has their own story on how big or little they gained when it came to pregnancy. For instance, with my first two children I was ordered to gain weight. The issue at the time was I couldn’t because of severe morning sickness, in the end I gained basically baby weight. By baby weight I mean when I had the baby it came right off. However, with my third and fourth child I gained baby and mommy weight. I’m sure I don’t have to explain that. BabyCenter has a weight gain estimator which tells you how much you should gain.

As I mentioned this morning, moms all over the internet/world have one thing in common once they have children, they either gain weight or lose weight. I asked readers if they’d like to take part in a question and answer email and many emailed with their responses. I’m glad to say, I’m not the only one that had issues with her weight after having a child. I’ve also learned that it isn’t just moms that give birth, but moms that adopt children as well (Thanks for reminding me Pickel).
