I got weighed every checkup as a matter of course. They never did anything with the numbers, though. I put on a LOT of weight each time.

Was interesting that I put on most of the weight before 5 months with my last pregnancy and put most of it on *after* 5 months with this one. I got to almost exactly the same end weight (give or take a kilo) with each pregnancy and lost every last gram of it with the first two so I'm not really concerned this time around, although I'm currently suffering from not having any larger sized winter clothes so I'm living in rather stretched maternity gear and safety pins right now.

As to waterbirths - last baby they hadn't quite finished the fancy new birthing suite so the big bath wasn't plumbed up yet and this time everything went so quick the bath wasn't an option
