I was a size 16 pre preg - and 178cm tall. Have so far put on 7 - 8 kg. Am mostly happy with my gain, now that i have accepted it.
I was 90kg before preg, and was trying to get to 85. It has been 7 years since i have weighed more then 95kg. Used to be about 120kg.
I wanted to be one of those preg peoples, skinny all over, and a basketball at the front, but, unfortuntaly, genetics play abit of a role in things.
But, DH, loves me as i am, and i am healthy, and baby is healthy, so, thats what counts.
Having had body issues all my life, maybe just used to looking a pictures of people that i wish i could look like. But, reality is, they are models, skinny as, and air brushed to the max. No one can compete with that. We are all different, and, at the end of the day, as long as you are happy and healthy, then, thats the main thing.
