Good news on my side though, I was weighed yesterday (I'm overweight so do hate it being weighed) and I've put on less than 2lbs so far in this pregnancy - just goes to show how much weight I've "lost" from being so sick. If I can keep it to a minimal amount, I'll be delighted as will the doctors I'm sure.

I've piled on nearly 2 stone... .. better than the 5 I put on with some of them i guess...

I am 2 weeks shy of the point when DS3 arrived... :eek: .. it rather shows how unprepared i am for this one.

I'm up to a stone now. I reached that point about 3 weeks ago, but lost a couple lbs when I had the cold (not sure how, as I carried on eating etc).


Just as well, as was also in the overweight category at start of pregnancy, so the advise is to gain between 15 and 25lbs. Hopefully I won't exceed the latter.


Had a looooong work meeting today. Now trying to wake up again! haha

I got a changing bag off Amazon. Didn't bother last time but I'm hoping I can get on with cloth nappies so will need a bigger bag.

The 3yo is seriously stressing me out atm. He just won't listen. He's fabulous when he does. But when he doesn't I just start thinking about strapping him to a chair with tape over his mouth

I'm up 21lbs exactly - I'm 25 weeks and tbh, I'm perfectly happy with that as I'd say I'm carrying most of it on my boobs and tummy. I'd be happy if I gained 2 stone overall as I've heard in last trimester that you don't want to eat much/can't eat much cos of baby squishing your tummy.

Got Moses basket stand today when I was out and about and my friends giving me her monitor for mates rates so I've very little to get. Cot and pram etc I've the money for but I won't buy them to June perhaps, closer to my date so I don't have to look at them. Hoping to get some presents of clothes as I haven't bought many so it'll help keep costs down.

it's lies.. you eat 3 times as much spread over 12 meals... basically, you turn into a sheep and graze all day long.. the baby is gaining up to half a pound a week.. that has to come from somewhere!

though half of what you try to eat ends up dribbled down your front and in your cleavage!

Ha Pigpen that is so true. I had bits of chocolate all down my cleavage this afternoon!

I haven't stopped eating over the last 6 weeks but haven't weighed myself since 8 weeks either. Don't think I've put on much weight though.

Got midwife tomorrow, routine 32 week appointment.

I'm not really sure - my mum lost weight in the last trimester with all of us so I'm going off what she went through. I'm in a hot climate though so chances are I'll probably get bad fluid retention due to +40 degrees.

the last trimester is the only time you supposedly need extra calories.. so weight loss is unlikely unless you have a return of the sickness which is common or you are not eating enough. If you were losing weight in the last trimester here the medical staff would be hysterical about it!

My daughters pregnancies were as different to mine as it is possible to be!

I get very water logged.. mainly because I can't move much to get the veins shifting the water out.. and I usually end up with impaired kidney function which doesnt help!

I've been so hungry the past few weeks, haven't stopped eating even with terrible heartburn. Can't say it's been particularly healthy things I've wanted either!

26 wks today, it's flying by. Have done absolutely nothing!
