    if you were weighing 92kgs at 6 weeks, it should be safe to say you will reach 100kgs or close to.
    As long as you are eating healthy and good sized meals i wouldnt worry about the scales.

    I wouldn't worry about weight gain or loss. As long as the baby is healthy that is all that matters. Have you been to your OB or MW recently?
    I only ever showed out front and of course the boobs From behind I didn't look pregnant and then I would turn around and people would do a double take and say "oh, you're pregnant!" and that was right up till I gave birth.
    Everyone 'carries' differently, do get checked out though if you are worried

    With DD i put on 20kgs and lost it by the time she was 4 weeks old. With DS i lost wieght up until about 25weeks then put on 6kgs for the rest of the pregnancy. Every ones different and as long as the baby is growing nicely thats all that matters

    with DD i weighed 57kgs (164cm tall) and when i went into labour (yes, the weighed me ) i was 71kgs. so like 14kgs. this time around i seem to be alot slower at weight gain, but i have pretty bad m/s ATM so that's prolly it...

    I might ask my MW. I just dont have much of an appetite so i eat when i know i should. When im upset i usually comfort eat and today when i was really upset i wanted to clean instead!

    While i dont want to gain 30kgs i want to make sure that my body is doing the right thing and bubba is growing properly.

    I was 105.5 before falling preg i'm 5"7, and at almost 28 weeks i am now 112.5. a couple of weeks ago i got up to 116 but then started getting very violent reactions to greasy fatty food. I have since had my gall bladder checked and got the all clear but have made an effort to cook nutricious weight watchers meals for the past 2 weeks with no take away and both DH and i have lost a few kilos.. i am very happy cos if i had gotten up to 120 i wouldn't have been able to go to my hospital of choice. As someone who was only a size 10-12 2 years ago and put on 35 kilos in that short period of time, i was massively stressed. As long as you are eating healthy you will be fine even if you get up around 100kg.

    A lot of people find that because they are looking after themselves more, eating better doing more exercise, they tend to lose excess weight. If you are normally above average or overweight, what you're experiencing is fairly normal I think. A friend of mine ended up lighter than when she got pregnant!
