I've bad sickness but am still eating regularly. Eating whatever I fancy however calorie filled it is. I'm still 3 pounds less than I was when I found out I was pregnant. Boobs have grown though and I've a little podge starting to show. Is this anything to worry about? Was a size 14 before so not skinny minny. Just worried I should be keeping weight on now...

Nothing to worry about. I've been the same in both pgs. Babies 8lbs 1oz and 9lbs 8oz. People put weight on (or don't put it on) differently in pregnancy. I found I put it on massively more in the end of the second/beginning of the third trimester. Congrats on your pregnancy :)

I suddenly put a load on week 19, like overnight! Grin But some people are just lucky!

I was really sick from the start. Also a 12/14. My sickness has got better this week and I've started gaining weight and people are noticing a bump. This has only happened in the last few days and Im 18+6. I was also quite worried about it for a while.

Thanks ladies, good to have some reassurance. Pregnancy has certainly been a good weight loss technique so far!

A friend had HG and weighed less at 40 weeks than at 0 weeks. Baby was completely fine.

I had severe HG and it took me until about 20 or maybe even 24 weeks I think to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, even though I was slim to start with (size 8-10). I put on a really average amount in the end, it just all went on in the second half of the pregnancy.

Forgot to add that baby was fine, very healthy and a completely average weight.
