is anybody else feeling overweight start

im weighing in at 106kgs and is the biggest ive ever been,i am scared to say the least carrying at this size is there anyone experiencing the same thing??

YES!!! I was eating low carb before getting UTD and obviously am now eating normally...the weight has piled on (not just in my belly, but bum and thighs too!!!!)

Yep, done it twice, and put on 15KG each time.    I had slightly elevated blood pressure the first time around and had a c-section for breeched presentation and a failed vbac second time around but neither had anything to do with my weight.    I didn't exactly eat healthy either!

Four weeks since I had my second child and I've lost 6KG already and I'm feeling great!   So I don't feel weight has any bearing on much really unless you have other health issues like high BP or diabetes.

I just kept focusing on the fact that when my baby was out I would make a conscious effort to lose weight and I have to say, breastfeeding is doing a wonderful job of that!

thanks for all ya advice and im feeling a whole lot better not so alone now i have read what you all have said :) im just going to try eat healthy and see how i go goodluck to mummys to be thanks to all.

i have hardly done any exercise and dont eat the best either ... but seem to be doing ok.. :) but as renee said once bub is out hopefully feeding will help like last time and i will lose a lot.. :)

I am over 130kgs and pregnant for the first time, my MW has just referred me to Greenlane Maternity Outpatients as my BMI is to high so i get to go and see a doctor, i am not sure what to expect or whats going to happen.

I received a letter in the mail a couple of days ago with an appointment date for the 19th Jan so will be interesting to see what happens there.

I should have said in my post i don't have any complications and don't expect to get any. *fingerscrossed*

I think i was around 95kgs when i got pregnant with Isabella. And i was about 109 when i had her. After i had her i put weight back on up to 108 even tho i breastfed. I dont lose weight brestfeeding i get hungry. This time i have managed to get down to 99kgs and im hopeing with a healthy diet and walking lots i wont put on to much weight. I have to keep very fit as i had very bad SP with Isabella.

Im overweight as well I weiged myself the other day and am 115kg at 28 weeks, ive really noticed the weight pile on in the last two weeks ever since Ive stopped riding my Horse. Im not too worried as theres actually not a hell of a lot i can currently do about it right now plus Im going to try and work really hard to get it off once bubs has arrived. So far ive had a blissful easy pregnancy so fingers croossed it continues

This is normal. Your body will retain fat around your bum, thighs and even sometimes your back as this is where is pulls your resources for you milk from.
This weight generally (but not always) will fall off just by breastfeeding.
If not, walking should do the trick.


I put on 26 kg during my pregnancy. Started out at 64kg and ended up at 90kg. For my little frame thats huge  but I managed fine and the weight is coming off with breastfeeding and gentle exercise.
