I'd be really confused with that advice too! I went from 68 to 69kg so only 1kg weight gain in total for the entire pregnancy. I had insulin and couldn't exercise because of severe SPD. DD2 was 6lb 11oz so on the small size but not tiny by any means.
Had my dietician appointment this morning, she is concerned about the weight loss and has advised me to increase the carbs and go back to eating my pre-GD diet, just spaced out more instead of eating three big meals space it out to six small meals, which was very balanced anyway and gave me just enough to gain 'the right' amount of weight. She's going to call in two days and said most likely she's going to refer me to the nurse to start insulin on Friday. Not sure exactly what this means for my birthing options, but I was advised that the Obs would be extremely reluctant to let me go past 38 weeks and prefer not to induce afer a previous cesarean unless my cervix is favourable for non-chemical induction (ARM, S&S etc).
