I put on 13 kg last time. I was pretty happy with that, but it took me a whole year to lose! I lost about 5kg from the birth, but the rest was quite hard work (& I was bf too).

This time I have put on around 9kg, so should be approx 10kg by the end, but I am a lot more active, much fitter than last time. So I think that will help to shed the weight afterwards.....at least I hope....

Try not to worry too much, it really isn't long in the grand scheme of things.
