I'm new to mumsnet so I hope I'm posting in the right place...
I'm currently 17+3 weeks pregnant with my second boy and finally over the nausea stage where I seemed to eat whatever I could just to feel better!! I constantly felt like I had a hangover everyday and the taste in my mouth was unreal at times!
I did gain a few pounds between week 4 and 14 because of it but because of my first pregnancy I seem to be thinking about weight gain and what's normal a lot more than maybe I should be?
My bmi with my first was already in the 'overweight' category, at only 4ft 11 I started at around 9st10 and I didn't batter an eyelid about what I looked like during the pregnancy, until my ds was born and I refused to have any photos taken of me with him...My biggest regret!!! All I know is that when ds was 6 weeks old I went back to slimming world weighing in at 11st. It took me a long time but I got to my target weight of 8st2 and I have hovered around that for a year or so.
We went on hols last sept, then had xmas and so I found out I was pregnant weighing 8st 8 - Considered a 'healthy' bmi but only just!!
So here I am, still going to Slimming world when I can face it, still trying to stick to plan most days but totally enjoying way too many syns most days!
So here's my digits:
17 + 3
Start weight - 8st 8
Current - 8st 13
Gain = 5lbs.
My midwife didn't even weigh me at my 16 week appoint ans I won't see her now until 28 weeks so i'm asking in here...Only if you want to share....
Thanks for reading!
