hi everyone, i'm pretty new here. Im 21 weeks pregnant (with my 1st)and most things are going well so far. This may seem like a selfish thing to ask about, but the wieght i am putting on is really getting me down.

i have struggled with my weight in the past, but had finally gotten into the 'healty weight range' about a year ago. I guess i have been using pregnancy as a bit of an excuseto eat too much, but often i am so hungry!!

At my last ob visit i (at 18 weeks) i had put on a total of 5kg, and he said "wow, most women havent put on any weight at all yet. you should only put on 10kg in total so your already halfway there!" i felt so stupid and fat. anyway, my next visit is in 10 days, and i weighed myself today and i have put on another 4-5 kg. i am so scared about what he will say to me.

can anyone tell me if they felt this way or if you think i have put on too much weight.

thanks,

Linda
