    I put on 8.5 kilo's by the end of my pregnancy ( i walked lots & was careful with what i ate)

    Back then (two & half years ago) i read & was told by my OB & GP that the average woman usually puts on between 9 to 13kilo's

    1st - 5kg (was way overweight to start with - like 30kg)
    2nd - 19kg (was within my healthy BMI to start with)
    3rd - I'll let you know, but as I am starting this pg a little overweight (about 12kg) I am hoping to minimize my weight gain to no more then about 5kg overall.

    Wow! there is a lot of difference in everyone's weight gain. Pregnancy book guidelines for normal weight gain don't seem so "normal" anymore I am trying to eat healthy regular meals, drink enough water and get enough exercise. Guess I'm on the right track Thanks girls

    When I was pregnant with DD1, I put on a good 30 kgs... but then I was severely underweight when I fell pregnant with her (still not sure how I conceived, tbh - DH's swimmers must just be determined little buggers), and I did go absolutely mad with the TimTams and KFC while I was pregnant with her...
    After I had her I lost about 15kgs, was trying to get back to pre-preg weight but decided to try for another bub (and succeeded straight away), this time around I've only put on about 5 kgs and I'm 23 weeks. I had only put on 2kgs up until a few weeks ago, I was really worried because with DD I stacked on the pounds pretty quick and I was worried that this little one might be starving to death in there, but doc assures me my weight gain is totally healthy and my friends have said I seem to be losing weight from other areas of my body and gaining it in the boobs and belly.
