If you want to get your fitness up, try swimming. It's really good for getting bubs into the right position and is at least fun. I've just been for a swim and think I might need to find a bigger tank top as it only just covers my belly now lol.

Ok this is embarrasing, but I can't really swim, I dont feel comfortable in water strange I know. I panic and have difficulty breathing.
I have just found out about preggie bellies which looks really good,

Man it is difficult to find classes fro pregnant women.
I have been searching high and low today.
The only one I have found is for preggie bellies, however there contact means you need to attend 2x per week.
This is kind of hard especially that it will take me 30 min to get there.
Does anyone know of any classes in the south auckland area

I have gained about 6kgs so far so similar to you. I think I lost some in the early days which is a real shock since we were travelling in Europe so I was eating and drinking whatever I wanted. Everyone comments that I seem to have shifted my weight off other parts and on to my tummy...that is really the only place that has changed. I hope it will all fall off just as easily.
I think you put more weight on if you are little to start with (hmmmmm, whats my excuse?) and 63kg sounds little. I wouldnt be worried as long as your healthy and bubs is healthy there isnt much you can do.
This is really the only time we can gain weight without stressing.

LNN - I purchased the preggi bellies DVD and I do it at home. I have borrowed my Sister's swiss ball. Don't buy the preggi bellies ball as it's really expensive. If you don't have one, you use to be able to get them at the Warehouse. I couldn't make the commitment to go to an actual class twice a week, but I find it easy to do it at home twice a week. Especially with winter coming...! Warning though - it's quite physical and hard, I reckon I would have had trouble with it before I got pregnant, so just take it easy while you are learning if you go ahead with it!

We own an online store and I managed to get some pilates pregnancy DVD's for $14, this way if I dont like it it is not much money spent.
I have also found some Aqua aerobics classes ( not aquanatal) and am going to try this tongiht

Not necessarily, I was 54kg before my first pg and gained the average 13kg. Somehow your body figures out what it needs. It's true, pg is the only time you can put on weight without feeling guilty! Still, it can be a bit stressful to see your beautiful curves fill out. A new clothing style helps me feel better - especially once the baby comes and then everything needs to be bf-friendly.

The battery on my scales ran out a few weeks ago, but I was up to 79kg then. When I found out we were expecting bubs I was around 72/3kg. I dread to think what I'm up to now!!
I find it hard to get my head around. I've noticed lately that my ankles are disappearing! It must be fluid retention (please let it be fluid retention and not just fat!!!!!!) and also my hands and wrists. How on earth can you put weight on your wrists i ask you!!

I think I have got off lightly. I am enjoying my pregnant shape because now I know I dont look fat...just pregnant..I've always had a bit of a tummy. Still I have high hopes for this breastfeeding lark. I have a wedding to get ready for after bubs is born so I hope he/she will suck my fat stores dry!!

I was pretty big to start, so I have been pretty careful throughout. So far, at 33 weeks, i have put on 6kg, and have noticed that weight has moved off other parts of my body. I also have not changed bra sizes yet. I was pretty active till about 25 weeks, since then bubs has sat too low to move too much too often.
But don't worry - unless you are being silly, your body is doing what it needs to. don't cut back because that could hurt bubs if you aren't gettign what you need.

I've put on 12-13kgs so far (started at 54kgs), but about 5kgs of that came on between 20-26wks. The biggest weight gain is meant to happen between 20-30wks. The rest has been very steady from day 1 (ie I put on 3kgs in the first trimester!). 10-15kgs is recommended, and the "norm" in NZ is meant to be about 11.5 - 16kgs but heaps of woman seem to put on over 20kgs and manage to lose the weight afterwards. I think it depends on how much extra fluid you are retaining. I wouldn't worry about how much you've put on, it should slow down towards the end, and in my opinion (as a nutritionist) I would be more worried about not gaining much weight (unless you start out overweight) than gaining the normal amount! Just eat heathily, and worry about any extra weight afterwards.

ooh.. well I was 68kgs to start with & i'm now 85kgs! pretty scarey - I havn't been exercising as much as I should. I was a bit sore after a car accident & found it hard to get motivated again. No excuse now though! need to get up & go
Very difficult to accept the weight gain - I'm really hoping that bf will help me get back to my previous weight too!

I put on over 20kgs ( not sure exactly,..didnt weigh myself for the last 5 weeks of pregnancy, but was 20Kg then), I was 54kg to start with tho, with a low BMI. I lost it all after about 4 months, just by breast feeding. I have hardly been excersing and are still eating way more than I used to pre-preg.
