Weight Gain During Pregnancy 2008-10-24 09:00:48
Tell Mommy: How Much Weight Did You Gain?
Women of all different shapes and sizes gain varying amounts of weight when expecting. Milla Jovovich wrote on her official site that she gained nearly 70 pounds in the first seven months of pregnancy. Kate Hudson also gained about the same amount of weight during her pregnancy with Ryder. She told Vogue:
I would be eating ice cream and my mom would literally pry the spoon away from me, saying, 'You've had enough to last you a lifetime.
While many other factors play a part in a woman's scale increase, the average recommended weight gain during pregnancy is generally somewhere between 25 and 35 pounds. I gained 38 pounds with my first child and I may max out at 40 pounds with the second while my teeny relative only packed on a mere 12 pounds to her petite frame.
