Thanks for the support
Its not just about pregnancy though its about being comfy in clothes (being able to find clothes that look ok and fit well) everyday if I need to go out its a sad moment when I go through 'Cant Find Anything To Wear" and thats not being picky is simple way to much stomach fat I dont feel nice about myself, before my son I was within normal weight range or a little below so its a shock now Im the one in the fat clothes (sorry if that offends some) but I hate looking like this and its not healthy.

I wont be crazy with diet while pregnant but I have to try not to gain too much. I have been told if I get up over the 100kg mark my local hospital wont accept me I'll have to travel an extra 40 minutes to a hospital who caters to overweight pregnant women. (cant be 100% sure about this info I will confirm when I see my Doctor again)



I really appreicate the support I do worry alot about weight and I guess its the focus in my life and I WANT it to stop being the focus

Samantha-Jane, you should stop beating yourself up so much! It is great that you want to make changes to make your lifestyle healthier, but as Catherine said, you can't diet when you're pregnant (and I know that you're not trying to) but you shouldn't be so hard on yourself every time you eat a muffin! You are pregnant, after all! Keeping treats to a minimum is good, but in my experience, trying to restrict yourself too much is a recipe for failure.

Catherine I also agree with you that BMI can be a very misleading measure of a person's health. Someone who has a "healthy" BMI can be constantly sick, I have friends like this!

My own weight hovers around 70-72kg usually, and it often makes me unhappy. When I was younger I was more around 63kg, but I think now that I'm older (and have had a baby) it's not realistic anymore. My BMI is around 24 I think, so I guess technically I'm not overweight, but I really want to eat more healthily than I do! I put on almost 25kg with my first pregnancy, I looked so awful. I want to try to keep my weight gain to a minimum this time.

The one upside to my constant nausea is that I'm totally off sweet things! Even over Easter I barely ate any chocolate, I just have no desire for it! That was part of the problem with my first pregnancy, I was a chocolate fiend! Ha ha, gotta look for the silver lining!
