    I am a size 18, (for both pg's).

    I had high bloodpressure with DD, but I was also working when pg with her, and my job stressed me out, not to mention the idiot drivers on my way to ob's on the days my bp was raised, LOL..

    With DD, I was 2 kgs lighter the day she was born to when I fell pg, so lost weight.

    With DS, I gained 4 kgs through pg, and when I weighed myself 2 weeks after his birth, I was 5 kgs lighter than when I fell pg, so I was carrying baby and fluid, no extra weight..

    I had no comments from anyone, just told at the beginning that I may get GD, high BP, pre-eclampsia, but I would just be monitored to make sure they were caught early if I got them.. With DS, I didn't even hit weekly visits with my ob till the last week when I had to go and sign consent forms for elective c-sec. Every thing was just going so smoothly.
