Mum2boy; I also had gained at least 7 kilos. After 8 Months i weighed less than i did before i had him. I did not diet or excercise and ate lots of junk food on the go! It seemed to come off as soon as i stopped thinking about it! You're not being impatient! Its just hard to get your brain around the fact that you cant fit the smaller sizes for a short while. Truely, the time will go quick, and you will be back to your former self before you know it.
