LOL good suggestion Tete!

I'd love to be one of those women who get skinny post-baby but I reckon I'll go the other way!

Yeah I just know I'd be one of those who puts on four stone in pregnancy

Birdie85

Yeah you know the ladies who have the sweet little bumps and you can't even tell they're pregnant from the back? That will NOT be me! I'll be the one who expands everywhere and never loses it! :eek:

Alternatively, because I'm so tall, I'll only ever get a tiny bump and just look as though I've been overdoing the pies

I'd rather just look a bit podgy than be mahoosive! My SIL is so big (considering she started off so teeny) I just look at her and think 'Urgh, that looks really freaking uncomfortable! I'm not sure I want that!'

I know a few women who've lost a lot of weight after having babies and ended up skinner than they were to start with CMD, I hope I'm one of those - but I'll be middle aged by the time I have kids so not likely!

I'm about a stone lighter than I was before I had her now, I feel much better for it. It doesn't suprise me though, even with not being too good about what I eat I rarely have time to sit down now so I'm just lots more active, even when I'm cleaning I have Grace in a sling on my front half the time too.

That could happen. My old manager is 6foot and she hardly looked pregnant at all. I felt like an Oompa Loompa next to her :eek: I really need to lose some weight. I think if I could get under 10stone then it would really spur me on. I struggle with exercise as I can't during the day when I've got the baby and I haven't got the energy in the evenings when the kids are in bed

I hadn't thought about it until I saw (somewhere!?) people discussing Princess Kate and how she hardly has a bump, and how the baby has room to expand lengthways - and I have more room widthways than she does too!

I couldn't get over how tiny you looked on Tuesday night Dinah, can you bake me one of your Grace-sized cakes to carry about in a sling if that's your secret?

Another reason I'm fairly sure I'd get HUGE if I were pregnant - I don't have much lengthways!

Dinah, you always look so tiny! I really can't believe you have more weight to lose - but really glad that you feel much happier in your skin.

Birdie, I find it hard to stay under 10 stone and I'm, like, four inches shorter than you guys :eek: I do have a giant head though:D

Awwww, grinning now. I still think I look really chunky in the mirror. I can bake you the cake and even lend you the sling, but I think after a few days you might not want to be carrying it any more.
