    Yep, what Limey said.

    I was going to add that you won't actually get your pre-pg body back..it will change, even if you weigh the same. It's totally normal

    Like the others have said, all you can do is eat healthy and give your body what it needs... It will put on the weight it needs to.

    With my first pregnancy I was very conscious about trying to keep the weight gain to a minimum. Fat lot of good that did, I put on 27kg (nearly half my starting weight). But it was all fluid and was all gone within a few months of giving birth.

    This time around I've been a lot less concerned and only put on 3.5kgs so far.

    Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different. The best thing you can do for your baby and your body is listen to it. Nourish it with good foods and lots of them. Your body will do the rest, that may mean you gain a little or a lot of weight. Just trust that your body is doing what it needs to do to produce a healthy baby.
