hi all, i was 11 stone before becoming pregnant (im 5 ft 7)and am now 38+2 and after weighing myself the other day im now 14 stone(thought i was a tad less actually) . i spoke to a family member the other day who thought it was discracefull to be so heavy during pregnancy.to be honest i was very shocked by that reaction as i have had a fab, healthy pregnancy bp perfect etc.so my question is does anyone else around 38 weeks want to share their weight with me and make me feel a bit more normal again!!!? i really dont believe im too heavy as i have always weighed a little heavier iyswim...at 11 stone i was a size 10. sorry for the rant...but also im pretty sure you retain water, have increased blood volume not to mention baby,placenta etc when pregnant so i think 3 stone is ok????

I put on nearly 3 stone with dd, but started at just over 8 so a much bigger proportional gain.

It did take me 9 months to lose it but it all went. From what I've seen it's normal.

You'll lose AT LEAST 1 stone with the birth, and more breastfeeding.
