Both boy and girl moms -- what was your BMI (or ht+wt)?

[dramabird]

Not sure about my BMI, but it was defintiely the highest at the conception of my dd as I had gained tons of weight carrying ds2 which I still hadnt lost. I was also the at the unfittest stage of my life, pregnancy was hell as I was so not toned and still flabby from the last pregnancy. This time I was a tiny bit heavier than when conceiving my dd (I now had left over weight from BOTH pregnancies, sigh) but I had used the year inbetween to do lots of toning and am much fitter this time. (I did NOT exercise int he weeks leading up to conception though for swaying reasons, I lost weight while ttcing, 4 kg).

Nini, do you have a decent idea of what your conception weights would have been for each of your pregnancies? If you could tell me that and your height, I can plug it into a BMI calculator to get each of the numbers and include you in the lists.

I was about 25 BMI for all my boys.

I have always had a muscular frame, but I wasn't working out... so muscles with a layer of flab, I guess LOL.

With DS#1 and #2 I had been gaining weight/eating fatty foods. I gained A LOT of weight when PG with DS#2, so I had just lost 20 lbs. when I conceived DS#3... but the weight loss still only put me back at my previous BMI of 25

I am determined to get my current BMI as far below 25 as I can... but I know I will never make it to 19-20 which is where I wish it was for TTC pink.

My BMI was around 19-20 with DS. I was quite slim and in a great shape since we just got married and I wanted to fit into my dream wedding gown. I got pregnant in our honeymoon eating very well and enjoying life. =)

Now I ttc a girl and even though I'm not overweight, my BMI is much bigger - around 22-23 now. I feel like I can never go below what I was with my DS so I hope it's the losing weight-trend that counts and not the weight itself LOL.

Roughly, yes, but I never weighed myself properly before conceiving ds2 because I was happy with my shape. I am fairly heavy even when I wore a size 8-10 (UK size).

So when conceiving my ds1, I was young, only 22, I must have weighed like 60kg propably less, like 57kg. With my ds1 I was probably 66kg at conception, but eating loads and all the time (I must have gained weight while ttcing because I tried everything to enhance fertility and ate really well - iddnt know about swaying then , with my dd then I must have been like 72 kg (I lost ca. 3 kg durign my sway!). This time I was like 75kg (I was something like 4 kg heavier when I started my sway).

I am 1.66m or 166cm. Sorry, I only do metric, but the converter probably wont mind ha ha....
the main difference was that eventhough my BMI was lower when conceiving my boys, I was eating like a maniac (like I usually do), conceiving my dd I was trying to follow the IG girl diet (although I wasnt properly, but I was loosing weight). This time I lost weight conciously, skipped breakfast etc.

I gained a lot of weight carrying ds2, and so in the 7 months before conceiving my dd, I lost 12 kg in total!!!
