Not as fat as I thought !! *chuckle*

So today I decided to face my greatest fear - the scale !! My cousin has a nice electronic one, and even though it measures in lbs. (pounds) I just divided it by 2.2 to get the equivalent in kgs. And yeah, I'm not exactly a model type, or afraid to confess my weight - at least not online anyway Before I got pregnant I was probably about 74.5kgs, and am 76.8kgs now - which means I've only gained a total of 2.3kgs !! I was amazed, as I've been feeling REALLY porky lately. My diet hasn't totally gone downhill, I try and get in as much healthy stuff as I possibly can, but I don't worry too much about what I eat, how much and when (I was trying to lose weight before so I was a lot stricter on myself).

I'm going to have to get a handful more of maternity clothing items, mostly some pants, because as I mentioned in my reply to another post I had to throw out an old (and very well loved) pair today. I also gave up on another pair a few days ago, as I couldn't do them up !! So far I've got one grey pair for work, and one normal pair of black ones for work that will hopefully last. What I'm planning to get is a pair of black pants, and a pair of jeans, and that should do the trick when I'm not slouching around the house in my trackies.

I don't think I'll buy any maternity clothes in NZ - so expensive, and especially compared to here. The range is fabulous as well !! But I'll shut up now, hehehe

Anyway, here's to the fabulous shape of the pregnant body, and the wonderful things it does !!

Yeh i have been told i have lost some weight around my shoulders etc im happy haha

everybody weight gain is different, mum only put on 3kgs when she was pregnant with me and 3kgs with my brother,

i have only put on about 700gms throughout my pregnancy but midwife is happy, and as long as both you and baby are healthy i wouldnt stress over it.

Hope you are having a good pregnancy :)

I was told to stop eating so much sugary foods about two weeks from my due date, apparently Quinn was getting to be too big!! Overall I think I put on about ten kg but 10lbs of that was bub!!

I've put on 2.1kgs so far - lost 10kgs from being so sick for the first 20 weeks!! My midwife keeps harassing me to try and gain more weight, but I'm eating as much as I can!! I only really want healthy stuff - and the occasional apple pie or cheesecake.... I've put no weight on round my face or upper body (except my ENORMOUS boobs ) but I have a pretty big bump now - look like I've swallowed a pumpkin!!

lol Lizzle!

remember - you are NOT fat, you're pregnant!! Very different!

For some reason I seem to have 'popped' early !!! There's absolutely no mistaking that I'm pregnant now (unless I've got my bulky winter coat on and stuff, being in Canada). I didn't know I *could* show so "well" so early LOL Went to a mall and found an AMAZING maternity store, bought all the rest of what I should need, and a couple of things just because they look nice :P Even the normal pants that I thought would last a while longer are starting to annoy me, when I sit down the waistband would roll down and be uncomfortable when I stood back up again. I'm actually worried a little bit about how people might react when I get back to NZ as it will be far more distinct - you couldn't really tell at all when I left.

Anyway, enough of my moaning !
