I am already slightly overweight, and am planning a baby. I am in the process of losing weight, been at a steady weight for the last week or two. I am not plannig on losing any while pregnant, cause I know that is bad. But, how much weight will I gain while pregnant? It is hard trying to lose weight, and I don't want to deal with too much more weight, but I really want a baby. Particularly a girl, but if I have a boy I will love him just the same. I asked this similar question on another area of these forums, and got nothing but rude remarks. Please just let me know. Thanks.

Ask your Dr. I only gained 10 pounds through the whole pregnancy, but I am a thin gal. Anyhow. Best of luck to you. I hope you get what your looking for.

everyone has different weight gain during pregnancy,i do worry about how much i will gain during pregnancy(when i finally get pregnant!)but at the same time i think i will worry about that after ive had a baby,id rather have a little bit of fat than no baby! good luck.

Everyone gains weight differently, I gained 30 lbs with my 1st and only 15 with my 2cd. Talk to your dr to inq about a healthy weight gain and also see a nutristionist. I never thought that I would need to see one, then I did and they opened my eyes to a whole new way of eating! Also try not to get your heart set on a certain sex of the baby...Each child brings SOOO much joy thats its hard not to love!!! GOOD LUCK

I have gained about 30 lbs. already...I am 33 weeks. I weighed about 135 lbs before I got pregnant. Everyone is different though.I would say just try and eat as healthy as possible. It is hard when youre pregnant though!!!
