How much weight have you put on?

i have heard during labour that you will loose some fluid and blood which will mean u will loose weight in hospital.. if that helps.

mind you this is my first bub but my sister inlaw lost like 10 kgs in hospital.

i agree would love to know more bout the whole weight gain thing..

i don't think there is any set amount of weight you should or shouldn't gain. from 17-25weeks i gained 2.5kg (the first gain after losing about 10kg to start out) from 25-29 weeks, i lost half a kilo. go figure! baby is definitely growing and so is my tum, so i must be losing it from other parts of me... i was bigger to start with, so no one is concerned with the loss.

the average gain is about 6-13kg i think, but it really is variable depending on what happens in your circumstances. we had bushfire here the weekend before Black Saturday, and i'll admit in the weeks since then, my eating habits have deteriorated compared to first tri, but i still managed to lose weight in that time, so i'd say it's about your metabolism (and that of the bubba!)

With regards to the hospital clothes.... I totally agree about the pyjamas and wanting to be able to wear proper clothes. I am thinking stretchy things also, and probably will also have some maternity clothes that aren't too big as they should still be comfy also.....
