Some of the "yummy mummy" stuff I agree with - the ability to have a life and a baby (but I'll see how practical that is when Blobble's born!)
Like others here, I lost weight over the previous year or so but luckily nobody's made the hurtful comments to me like qui. But the interesting thing is that because I lost the weight previously through exercise and healthy eating, I'm not going overboard in the eating - I'm just eating what I feel like.
My belly isn't a perfect basketball, but hey, I'm liking it. I'm able to tell them, if they ask, that I'm happy with my weight gain - only 7kg so far - and am worried that I'm not putting on enough weight. That really stops them.
And one of my goals in losing weight originally was to get down to a healthy weight for conceiving - which I achieved.
When bub's born, I'll be walking everywhere as my vehicle is a work lease that expires the same day I start maternity leave (Wednesday). And then I'll start getting fit again - I haven't been to the gym since I was about 6 weeks preggers and haven't done any real bushwalking since I was 11weeks. So I'm looking forward to being able to do that again, and not being breathless after climbing the stairs here at home, because there won't be a baby pushing against my lungs.
And that's my goal - to feel fit again when I can. And I'm not packing anything pre-pregnancy for the hospital
