Hey FG. re the weight thing....I felt like I was a heffer - esp. in that first 3 months. Still have my days now where I feel like a balloon, but I guess that is the way it goes.

I gained something like 3kgs between week 4 and 10 and then slowed right down so that it has averaged out over the 20 weeks to be around 250gms a week or 1kg per month.

People say not to worry about it, but for me it's more about keeping an eye on myself (I'm terrible at letting go when it comes to food - I'll eat anything and everything if it is good food - mostly savoury, but since the pregnancy sweet is much higher on my agenda). I want to try and avoid GD and stay within a healthy weight gain.

So far, so good. My ob said that I have been doing really well and not gaining too much, but also gaining enough to be healthy for me and the bub.

I got my friend to email me her weight gain over her 2 pregnancies so I had something to guage my own weight by - very helpful.
