I have had three friends gain with their pregnancies and drop the weight within two years. I myself had a horrible pregnancy (understatement of the year) but I ate healthy with my mantra and only gained the recommended weight. It's been hard for me because my hips were very small before. Baby at 6'8 was able to make it through, but my hips spread and are not going back. I was (a specific size) before pregnancy. WHen I got back to the same weight after baby I was a bigger size. That hurt a lot. I'm trying to lose more weight now, (to get to a doctor recommended weight), and although I haven't made progress on the weight I'm at least in a smaller size now. Definitely be careful of PPD, I think women with EDs are more prone to have it.
