    I too wouldn't be too concerned, DD1's weight can change from 1 day to the next depending on teething, sickness or overall activity.
    Does she have a healthy appetite, is she active, happy, using her bowels 'normally' etc.. if so then i def would stress too much.
    DD1 is going through a stage of not eating very well, she's got a cold, hardly touches breakfast, will snack little bits but not eat a lot of lunch or dinner, it's getting very frustrating but i'm putting it down to 2yr old attitude and not feeling well.

    She weights only 11.6 kilos yet is in mostly size 3 clothes and thinking about it she did have a rough period of sleep last week which decreased her appetite a heap. Her 2 year olds were through before the huge weight loss and she has been more active than normal. Her little chub bracelets are happening on her wrists and such too. She's always grazed throughout the day rather than have HUUUUUUUUUUUGE meals so I guess it's just metabolism. I forgot that she did have a nasty cold a fortnight ago which put her off food. I guess being so close to EDD with this bub I'm getting a tad anxious for DD lol. She's TTing right now but won't hold poo in no matter where or when she will say she needs to go to the toilet if she needs to.

    Thanks so much for the replies. I think I just needed the reassurance. DD is really nurturing so there's most likely going to be another mum in the house once the new bub comes. She's already practicing with her dolls and tells me off for talking if they're "taking a nap"

    She sounds great hun, DD1 is 3 in Oct and has only just cracked the 12kg mark recently.
    They do slow down and are so active now
