Im a bit vain and paranoid and this is a piddly question compared to most BUT what should I have put on by now if my BMI was 25 (just over normal going into overweight catagory), Im 17 weeks PG. After spying myself in a huge nasty mirror in a shop today I realised im carrying the baby in my thighs and bum. I did what im trying to aviod - I weighed myself and ive put on 7lbs, seems a lot so early. I put on 3.5 stone in first PG and being only 5'2 I struggled badly at the end and had high blood pressure and swelling. I really don't want to be like that this time or Id not be able to look after my 2 yr old DS properly. Does anyone know the answer to this? (Apart from stay away from the bickies fat arse)!!
