Well this time around I have been eating small healthy portions I gave up sodas and juice.  And drink only water I work on my feet all day and try  to be active at home after my meals.

Every ones body takes to pregnancy different. You can retain water more then others baby size and the way you eat are all a factor. I gained 65 with my first and only 23 with second no Two pregnancies are the same. As long as your healthy is all that matters.

I'm 31 weeks and I've gained over 2 stone. Really self conscious because I have always been slender. Trying not to get too bothered by it. Will just have to work hard to remove any excess after baby ross is born x

I don't get posts like this-everyone is different, from past medical history to variances in pregnancies... I'm 22+1 and 5 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight thanks to HG... Asking people this doesn't really do anything other than make each other compare themselves to others. All that should matter is what your OB feels to be appropriate for you and if your baby is healthy and growing accordingly! Right?
