    How much weight have you put on this pregnancy?

    I was devastated this morning at 22 weeks that I have put on 15lbs.. so about 8 Kg or so...

    I lost 30kg prior to getting pregnant and I feel crapo, that I am back there again,

    I know its some baby, placenta etc, but goodness..

    Please tell me I am not alone here.

    So far about 5kgs for me. With DD I had put on 10 kgs by now so have done better this time than last time.
    You are definately not alone hunny, don't worry about it too much, you're growing a beautifully healthy little bubba in there. You will loose the weight once bub arrives and wont have a problem in doing so.

    Oh and Congratulations on the HUGE loss before falling preg, that is just amazing!!! You will be back there before you know it!!!

    I haven't gained anything (yet) only lost. But i did have some to lose and with my terrible morning sickness im not surprised. But i have got my appetite back i havent been able to stop eating so im sure in a couple of months id have gained a heap!.

    But don't worry too much, a friend of mine at this point had gained 20kgs she just ate and ate.

    I have gained maybe 1/2kg, but I am only 11 weeks, but with DD I had already gained a couple of kg by this stage.

    A friend would gain 25-30kg with each of her pregnancies and she was quite a thin figure (ex ballerina), and it would all come back off again, she found it difficult to deal with as it was the extreme of what she was used to.

    Quite a lot of it will come off after delivery, and don't stress about the rest take your time, it will come and it took 9 months to put on so give yourself plenty of time for it to come off.

    I had 4kg to lose to get back to my pre birth weight after DD (but it would have been a lot mroe if she went to term) but I put on 4 kg more and after 6 months I felt ready to lose it, I ended up losing more, so my starting weight this time was 4 kg less than I started with DD I am hoping to get really big and fat this time, showing I am growing a big fat healthy bubba

    So far I have put on 8kg this pregnancy.

    With my first I put on 20kg, but i was only a mere 45kg before I was pregnant! Plus I was only 17....lol

    Breast feeding is a great way to lose weight i reckon!
