    Yep I take my little dog whenever I go for my power walk

    I can understand some people do not want to put on to much weight so they do not have to lose a lot after the birth, because lets face it, most of us care about our appearance but if you eat healthy and still put on weight then I wouldn't worry, its when you eat a lot of junk and put the weight on and all that which is when I would be a bit concerned. But we all do what we think is best for out body and babies

    Does anyone else wonder how big their baby will be and what determines the size they will be? I'm a twin so was only 4pound when I was born but my partner was 10.5pounds so I'm curious to see how big my bub will be because I am only tiny!

    Yes i am curious about how big bub will be because a 10 pounder may do alot of damage haha.

    my hubby was 6 pount 13 and i was around the same born.. so does it go off what you were born or just what you eat.

    i have heard that a later scan can give an indication of how big bub will be at birth.

    (dont worry i wonder how big my bub will be)

    Well I was always told it has a lot to do with how big the parents were? But then have heard it has a lot to do with how big the Mum was...

    Although my cousin was only about 8Pounds and her partner around 7 and they just had their first baby and he was 10pound 10ounces! He was 2 weeks overdue though.

    I was told that my 38 week scan will be to estimate bubs size, so I'll be looking forward to that day.

    Yeh mel be looking forward to the 38 week scan also.. so you must be due around the 5 july.

    im due the 17th.. cant wait.. hoping for a 7 pounder.. i think a 6 pounder is too much to ask and 8 is big.. haha although they say there isnt much of a difference between giving birth to a 6 pounder or 9 pounder.. its all hard.

    Yeah I am due 7th July

    I don't mind the size of the baby as long as he/she is healthy.

    My cousins baby was very tiny even though he was 10pounds, he just had a little extra pudding on him

    Feel free to PM me if you wanna talk about anything

    both my previous pregnancies i only put on 10kg's.
    DD#1 was 3190g(they never told me in pounds)
    DD#2 was 8pound 3
    i was 6kg's heavier with #2 then i was with #1 at the end of pregnancy

    i too wonder about the weight/size of what this baby will be.
