hi guys,

thanks for the advice.
i'm glad i'm not the only one that's gained weight, i don't mind if its normal, especially as i know my diets not great.

as for the exercise - i'm trying to err on the side of caution, but its hard to know what is ok?
i was a lil dubious about the no exercise rule and so i checked it w my GP who also said - gentle walks and swimming only? worst case i don't mind just doing the short walks for another 6 wks if it means increasing chances of everything going well?
maybe i should investigate a preganancy exercise centre, see what they suggest?
feeling very blooby!
