    Hon, enjoy not putting on weight!

    I lost the only kilo I gained in the first trimester by 16 weeks and at almost 23 weeks, I've only put on 3kgs. I'm 163cm tall and currently 63kg and had a pre-preggy weight of 60kgs. I expected to weigh a lot more by now given I have a decent bump already, my boobs are bigger than ever and I'm sure my butt has 'developed' a bit more but nope, only 3kgs. My OB and midwife are not fussed at all as Tarko is growing, is healthy and the right size and that's all that matters.

    I'm still confused how I've escaped significant weight gain but hey, I'm not complaining

    That early you shouldn't really have put any on. I lost weight in the first tri and at 20 weeks was my pre pregnancy weight then I started to put it on after 20 weeks. According to my OB that was perfectly normal.
