Hello,
26+5 today and i've put on about 9kg so far. Seems a lot to me. Had to snack a lot to catch hypos due to diabetes so not sure if it's due to that. Dont look like i've put weight on in face/body etc apart from bump and in my normal size pregnancy clothes and can fit leggings etc that are my non pregnancy clothes. Does it sound about right?

I personally don't take what they say to heart. I'm normally 9 stone ish and it's right for my height. Within 6 weeks I had gained a stoned!! And now 18 weeks am nearly 2 stone heavier! It happens every time I have a baby some of us just get heavier quickly. Xxx

It's fine, stop worrying. Even if you gain a bit of fat along with baby weight it's not a bad thing, you'll need some reserves for when baby arrives.

Try not to worry about weight gain. I gained 3 stone in my first pregnancy but, within 8 weeks of the birth had lost all but 8lbs of that (without dieting and just breastfeeding)

This pregnancy I have absolutely no intention of weighing myself or stressing about my weight! Just going to enjoy it and worry about losing it when the time comes! I figure this is the only time in my life I can do this!!
