In my first tri i put on about 2kg. Because i was big to start with my Dr was happy with that amount. Nearly at the end of my journey i have now gained 10kg but its to be expected. My dr at the start told me no more then 10-12kg would be ok for me.....but i think its going to be more then that come 40 weeks....if i can hold out that long.

You eat what you feel like or crave. For me the first 20-24 weeks i had a real thing for lettuce, strawberries, passionfruit and tomatoes. So all healthy food....oh and my green apples to deal with morning sickness (up til 20 weeks). NOw i still have a craving for pink lady apples, pineapple and watermelon.

As long as u balance out the 'treats' with fruits and vegies your gain will slowly go up, or be steady. I lost weight and gained through out this pg, until now, where its always an increase
