    As long as u are eating healthy, i wouldnt worry too much about it - i only put on 5.6kgs with my pregnancy and my OB was not at all worried.
    Enjoy it while it last - cause who knows in the last trimester u may put on HEAPS!!!!

    I am like briggsy's girl I have lost 10 kilos this time, my GP isn't concerned either. I had mad m/s in the 1st tri and still have no appetite so I just make sure I eat lots of fruit and vegies rather than junk food.

    Last time around I lost about 6 kilos and then put on about 8 in the last few weeks.

    yes, no need to worry! It really depends on what you started out at before you got pregnant. Underweight women put on more weight and overweight women often put on less, or none or even lose some!

    I am 174cms tall (5"8/5"9) and weighed 59kgs when I got pregnant... I have put on 10.5kgs so far - so about to hit 70kgs. This is about right for me, as I was very lean to start with....last pregnancy started out at 58kgs and put on about 14.5kgs or so.

    just eat right, exercise, drink loads of water and your body will do the rest!!

    yeah, could just be a late bloomer! I was! It took me weeks, tho it was before 18wks (not much tho). I came out of the bathroom and said "I've put on xkg!" and dh's Nan, who didn't know I hadn't put on any yet, told me " Of course! You're pregnant!" as if I didn't know that I was going to put on weight! I was annoyed at the time - pg hormones - but found if funny a few days later!

    No need to worry. As long as bubs is growing well, it doesn't matter how much/little weight we put on. I lost weight all through the first trimester, and have put on 6kg at 29 weeks. There's no hard and fast rules with weight gain - every woman is different.
