I've been much better about putting on weight this pregnancy. Up to 27 weeks, I put on 10kg from my pre-pregnancy weight. At that time I also went on a low GI diet to get my unstable blood sugar under control. I don't have GD but I do have hypoglycaemia which gets much worse when I'm pg. The diet's really worked and I haven't had the shakes for over a month.

I hopped on the scales last Sunday and it said I'd put on the requisite 0.5kg for the week, taking me up to 12kg weight gain at 30 weeks. Then I hopped on today just out of curiosity and the scales reckoned I'd lost 2kg. I always weigh myself straight after I get out of bed, before I've had brekky.

Should I be concerned about weight loss at this point? I haven't been exercising much (hips are too sore for walking) and I've been eating very well, a very healthy balanced diet, and not restricting food intake at all. I've only ever had to worry about putting on masses of weight before during pregnancy, never the other way around!!

I have low iron and I'm not feeling very energetic but other than that I'm as fit as a fiddle.
