The final weigh in ...

[smoggii]

I decided to weigh myself today, i'm 40+12 and heading in for my induction tomorrow so preparing myself for post pregnancy dieting and i've avoided the scale for the last few month.

All i can say is I hope this is a 4 stone baby so then i'll only have 1 stone to lose to get back to my pre pregnancy weight

Eeek....

Oooh, you're brave! I haven't been near a scale since about 16 weeks (now 31). I bet it's all water or something and you lose heaps of weight straight away. Might be tempted to weigh myself in last week or so just as a comparison to make myself feel better after the birth...

I wasn't going to, i thought i'll just eat healthy and take the baby for walks then it'll show in my clothes...thought about it and knew i was kidding myself as that makes it difficult to incorporate goals, so feeling strong this morning i thought i might as well check the damage before i head to the hospital! It was a shock but like you say hopefully some of it will be pregnancy related i'm not really hoping for a 4 stone baby!!

They weighed me at the hospital the other day as I am going in for ELCS on Tuesday. It was in kilos, which I'm not that familiar with but I know it was an obscene amount. I think if I attempted to convert it into stones and pounds I would faint from shock - so I won't do this until the baby's out! To be fair it was at least lunchtime, I had all my shoes and clothes on and I probably needed to go to the loo...

I am 40+11 today and being induced tomorrow was just thinking i must get on scales in the morning(will weigh less then lol) and see how much i have put on. Not looking forward to it tho

Good luck for tomorrow smoggii
