    Honey, one thing i have learned in my last 2 pregnancies is that everybody, every baby is different.

    I put on 30 kilos with my first son, and i think i have put on about 15 so far with this one.
    I am alot smaller with this one, and this baby is a smaller baby. PLease do not worry, but raise your concerns at your next midwife or GP vsit.

    LOL, we just can't help worrying about weight can we? With my first pg I was worried because I thought I was putting on too much weight. With my second pg I was worried because I thought I wasn't putting on enough weight! Both times my ob was totally unconcerned. All pgs are different!!

    I was worried about the little weight I had put on at the start of this pregnancy, but now I'm at the end I have definitely made up for it. I think up until 20wks or more I had only gained about 2kg and even then I would lose a little then gain it again now I have gained 9.5kg.

    I mentioned it to the MW and the OB and neither seemed concerned at all. As long as you feel healthy and good I don't think there'd be anything to worry about.

    Dont worry too much. I didnt put on any weight at all till like 20 weeks, and after that I only put on about 4 kg. I was about 50 kg to start with and about 54 kg at the end of my pregnancy. My belly popped out about 17-18 weeks.
