My weight gain was largely fluid. My hands, feet, ankles (everywhere really!) were very puffy from fluid retention. Funnily enough, when I mentioned to my OB about my weight gain I remember him telling me that I would be surprised just how much of it was fluid - and he was right. Towards the end I was even puffier......

I had lost some 13kg within a couple of weeks of giving birth, and within a month I think I'd lost 15.5kg (so definitely all fluid and I looked a whole new person without a puffy face etc!). Pity a few months later I gained a few kilos back LOL. So right now, I'm sitting at 5kg above my pre-PG weight. I didn't do anything special to lose the weight at all - it came off in that time of its own accord. (I think the couple of kilos I gained back may have had something to do with a few choccies *rustles through chocolate wrappers* LOL)
