it's suddenly clear to me how i put on 3 stones last time

[Tutter]

i am famished all the time

really struggling not to demolish ds's tea

I put on 5 stone when I was pg with DS1

well done

I usedto stop at the petrol station on the way home and buy (and instantly demolish) 3 packets of crisps, then a full meal in the evening. My mum was back to a size 8 3 weeks after having me and I believed that would happen to me. How wrong can you get?

Everyone is still telling me my bump is tiny

• I give birth in a week and the supermarket lady was saying 'so you're half way through your pregnancy and blah blah', but I've gained a full 32 pounds. Where has that gone, it's more than a quarter on top of my original weight? I think babies are just very... dense these days, I'm suspect it's an evolutionary change based on diet.

It's the only good thing about morning sickness IMO. I have to make myself eat!

you see macneil, i wanted to believe that too

but ds was born 7lb 5oz and i came home from hospital less than a stone lighter than when i'd gone in
