Anybody else gain less weight with 2nd pregnancy?

[PumpkinBump]

My first pregnancy I gained 65 pounds (30 of that being in the first trimester alone). I figured i would gain just as much with this pregnancy but to date I've only gained 13 pounds at 23 weeks.

Anybody else gain significantly less weight with their second pregnancy?

With my first and second pregnancies, I gained 40lbs each, so I started to assume that I would probably always gain 40lbs during pregnancy, but this time I've only gained 9lbs by 22 weeks, so miracles do happen!

(Now watch, I'll put on 31lbs in the next 18 weeks )

I'll be stalking this. I gained 45 lbs with my DD and everyone says you gain more the second time around, but I'm 15 weeks and only gained 6lbs so far, so I'm hoping to keep it low.

I did and by the end of the pregnancy I had only gained 9lbs x

I gained about 25 with my first. With this one I weighed myself yesterday and I still haven't even gained a pound. Baby is growing fine, hoping I will just not gain much with this one!

I gained about 90lbs with my first, and most of that in the first trimester So far this time about 27lbs. More than I would like, but better than last time!

I gained 4 1/2 stone with DD in total and by 18 weeks about 22lbs. So far with DS, I've gained 10! I'm amazed!

With my first I gained 10kg throughout the whole pregnancy, not sure what that would be in lbs... This one I've lost 2kg and not gained anything so far, but I think that's because I'm consciously trying to be healthy where I can, with Ds I ate like a pig lol it was weight I gained from too much fried chicken

I gained about 40lbs with my 1st and lost 7lbs with my 2nd. Have stayed the same so far with this one.

Gained 42 lbs with #1, 30lbs with #2. I had a much better diet second time around and realized I wasn't literally eating for two adult sized people.

 

[Firstbaby123]

Gained three stone with my first and now at 24 weeks with my second I've only gained 1lb

Yes but that's because I am still carrying an extra 40 lbs from my last pregnancy! So far I lost a few pounds due to morning sickness, but I gained 60 last time around and my dr said I don't have to gain any weight as long as I'm eating sensibly and not "dieting". I hope to just maintain so I have an easier time getting back to my pre pregnancy weight! I was one of those woman who couldn't lose any weight while breastfeeding, and we got pregnant while still BF my ds.

I can't really compare them yet until I get into 3rd tri. That was when I gained the most weight.

I have lost weight with this pregnancy. I lost 8lbs in the 1st tri. Then I held steady from 14 weeks to sometime in the last few weeks. I finally gained 2lbs between my appointment last Wednesday from the one I had 5 weeks before that. But I'm still under my prepregnancy weight.

With my first I gained 11lbs between my 6th and 7 month so it will be interesting to see if that happens again (it happened with all three of my mom's pregnancies too). I hope it doesn't happen, but there is a possibility that it could. I gained a total of 46 1/2 lbs with my first.
