All you ladies are just great inspirations. It is so lovley reading everyones experiences and thanks for all your answers. It has been great help. And like Aglinra said, something good is coming our way....
Firstly, everyone's pregnancy is so different, so remember not to compare yourself to what anyone else says During pregnancy I gained 12kg (baby was 4.2kg at birth). I did regualr swimming and was on my feet everyday at work. I lost most of the weight in the first month after birth. I was surprised to find how amazing your body is-- it does so much slimming down on it's own-- I can assure you I was not out there madly exercising post-natally but with the loss of the weight of the actual baby, placenta, excess blood volume, fluid, etc., (plus I found that my utereus contracted heaps on its own in the first week or so) it all adds up to losing those kgs.
