    So far I've lost 2kg. But my Dr doesn't want me to put any on at all, in fact he says he'd be quite happy if I lost a bit during this pregnancy (I am unfortunately quite overweight at present).

    With DD I put on a total of 9kg and lost it all pretty quickly, so I'm hopeful that I'll be ok this time around.

    I put on all up about 6kgs but most of that was in the first tri b/c I just ate whatever I wanted. I then got sensible and must have lost some or stayed the same.

    With Ds i put on 10kgs all up from about 16 weeks to 38 weeks and lost it all straight away breastfeeding He was just under 3kg worth..

    this time 53kg to start with , and am now 60 i think? So probably will be about the same

    I've put 6 kg on so far...ok maybe 7! It is so dam hard to admit and I know it isn't because of the baby bump, it's cos I can't stop eating,lol.

    I gained 9kg. In the last week or so, I started to lose a little bit which my ob said was normal.

    I've put on 9kgs so far (into week 38 now). I knew I could stand to gain less because I carried a bit extra in the beginning, but I got worried that in the last 6 weeks I haven't gained a thing. I mentioned it to my Doctor though and he's really happy with my weight. Fundal height is still going steady, there's lots of movement, so as long as everything is good and healthy the numbers don't really mean much! So I guess as bubs gains a bit, I'm losing a bit somewhere else - sounds good to me!

    I've put on 17 kg and lost it all within weeks of DS arriving as I often forgot to eat It was all belly and baby for me, I didn't put on the weight anywhere else. Now I'm trying to put the weight back on and get to pre pg weight so I am as healthy as I can be before we start treatment again.

    With DS I was 2kg lighter at 42 weeks than I was pre pregnancy due to m/s the whole way through, and when he was 8 days old I weighed myself and was 6kg lighter than I was pre pregnancy,
    I ended up getting back to my exact pre preg weight before I fell pg again but so far at 9 weeks I've lost 3kg once again due to m/s

    With DS1 i lost 5kg first trimester and put on a total of 12kgs and with DS2 i lost 3kgs first trimester and put on a total of 12kgs - thats from first weigh in so prior to losing anything. This pregnancy i put on 2kg first trimester... the eating constantly kept the nausea somewhat at bay I'm definately into a better eating pattern now i'm past 14 weeks and hopefully only gain around the 12kgs again.

    2nd time round

    I put on about 17kg with my first pregnancy - this is my third pregnancy (we lost the 2nd one early on) and I'm only 9 weeks, but absolutely astounded at how much of a protruding belly I already have! It's ridiculous! I'm so unprepared for all this early stretching and growing and am trying to scramble some comfy pants and tops together so I don't have to keep holding my jeans together with hairties to accommodate my waistline! Crazy
