Whereabouts are you in terms of your BMI?

I ask because atm I am just above middle within the acceptable range of mine, whereas before I got pg I was just underneath acceptable range. But, I feel huge and as if am carrying loads of excess lard around. So, where are you BMI-wise and are you happy there?!

I do know what you mean, dinny and roosmum (it's the dress size increase rather than the kilo one that gets me most). OTOH I'm fairly chilled about it (for an ex-borderline-anorexic, very chilled) as I figure that pg and childbirth does change our bodies. I've always looked very much younger than I am and I think I see the extra weight as a sort of badge of womanliness (as opposed to girliness). I would be unhappy if I was actually overweight though.
