posted in CelebritiesEver wonder how many pounds a pregnant celebrity went up while expecting? Though Hollywood's rich and famous are generally known for their svelte frames, it's not unusual for a famous mom to exceed the recommended amount of weight gain while eating for two.
A look at what celebrity moms have had to say about their pregnancy weight gain numbers:
Coco Austin opened up about her unusual pregnancy weight gain total after giving birth to daughter Chanel.
The new mom told her Instagram followers, "I gained 13 pounds my whole pregnancy and now I [weigh] almost back to norm at 137 pounds. All this is strange to me too, how my body took so well with pregnancy because I was mentally prepared to blow up like a whale and I was totally cool with it I really could have cared less how my body looked it didn’t matter to me..I couldn’t wait to get a bump and rock it! I would’ve gone through anything to make a healthy baby."

”I gained 65 pounds with my first baby and 70 with my second," Isla Fisher, who is now the mom of three, told Fitness magazine in 2013. "I had severe morning sickness both times, so I mostly ate supersize bowls of white pasta with loads of butter and cheese because that was the only thing that took away the nausea.”
Speaking about her postpartum body, the actress went on to share, "Even though it [my stomach] will never be flat again, it’s still my favorite because it reminds me of my greatest achievement: my babies. For me, so much about life is acceptance. You can look in the mirror and find a million things wrong with yourself. Or you can look in the mirror and think, ‘I feel good, I have my health, and I’m so blessed. That’s the way I choose to look at it. I don’t need to be perfect. I’m doing just fine.”
