Hiya ladies,

Im exactly 6 months today and i've jumped on the scale once again. I have put on exactly 10kg and its sure to go up.

Just wondering if this is normal or not? I was 15kg over after i delivered in my first pregnancy and everyone made out this was way too much. I worked hard to lose all the weight and i did but i really dnt want to go back up to 15kg extra again.

Is 10kg at 6months normal/acceptable? Im not stressing out about it just abit concerned, maybe i'm just one of these women who put on loads of weight during pregnancy.

I went from 59 to 83 with my first!!! No diabetes or anything, I just got heavy, held a lot of fluid and thats it. I was fine, Baby was fine and thats just how it is. Everyone is different same here :) from 59 to 84!! most of it was water weight so lost straight away. rest is fat which is not ready to budge off :( now i am 69 and number 2 is on the way. Congratulations - how old is number 1? And when is number 2 due?

I am 38 weeks and my weight has been stable for the last 3 months. I ballooned In Aug/Sept/Oct due to the heat. I teach PE and being outside made me swell up and my weight shot up by 10 kgs. Thankfully I have still only put on the 10kgs and the baby is growing healthily. I don't think 15KGs is a lot. I am fairly big anyway so putting on any extra weight is a definite no no.
