I'm pregnant with number 2. I have always been very overweight but prior to getting pregnant with my first I lost about 3 1/2 stone, getting down to around 15 stone. I put most of it back on with the pregnancy, lost it while breastfeeding and gradually its crept back on. I probably weigh around 19 stone now.
Is anyone else out there in a similar situation - will I need extra tests or monitoring? With DD1 I had to have glucose intolerance test, they were checking for gestational diabetes.
I fully intend to eat really healthily - I suppose with DD1 I thought its ok to put on a couple of stone because by losing the weight I'd 'made room'! But dont think my body could handle putting on a lot more weight at the moment.
Would be grateful to hear others experiences
