I put on between 20-23 kilos with Marisa. I lost it all fairly quickly, and even some of my pre-preg weight! I was very happy with that, although I think it was more to do with the fact I didn't eat much because I was so stressed with the problems with had with Marisa (her being so clingy and her bad sleeping etc).

I'm headed back towards the 20kg mark again this time, but it doesn't phase me at all. Both times I did very little exercise due to back problems - I stupidly thought doing yoga would be safe but made it worse so I was pretty much at home the whole time. This time I am chasing a toddler all day, so I think the weight gain has been slower because of it.
