It is really nice to hear from all you other ladies who are gaining a little more than what the books "recommend". With my first pg, I put on about 8kg, but I was sadly overweight (97kg - should be 68.) Lost baby weight plus some by six week visit. Gained back to my pre-pregnant weight, and then lost about 13-14 kg by dieting, before becoming pg with DD2. Gained 16kg with that pg, and lost it all in a few months. With this baby, I had morning sickness that made me want to EAT, without much vomitting. So I've gained at least 16kg so far, and haven't been on the scale for a while. I was also getting worried about gaining too much, but at least I'm not alone! And the weight does come off again, between breastfeeding, and a little extra effort to be more active and eat properly.
