I started dieting whole heartedly towards the end of last year - but didnt start weighing until mid January. From mid January until First week in April, I lost 2.1/2 st and then found out I was pregnant !

I have kept eating healthily since and am now 27.1/2 weeks - so a bit ahead of you.

I actually asked to go and see the dietician and for the most part, I've been being very very good. I am definately finding I have water retention - some days I can be 5lb heavier than the day before and it REALLY annoys me when I get on the scales.

So far, I've put on 8lb and am now 17st6. :-( Still - I realise I'm going to have to put it on before I get it off.... but I WILL lose at least another 5 stone from where I left off within the next 12 months. I've promised myself !

8lb so far isnt the end of the earth really I suppose - though I guess it will start coming on quick now. My diet is very good if I say so myself and I've totally changed my eating patterns and habits for the long term. That said - I can't "hard" diet atm... but I will shift it.

So far, I measure 6" less across the hips than I did when I started measuring in January - and that's including a bit of bump. Across the waist, I'm currently an inch less than I was then too - despite a lot of expansion.

The clothes I wore back then, even though not maternity, still fall off. So - something to be thankfull for.

I was really bad from about 14 > 18 weeks with dizzyness / passing out etc and felt truly dreadful as well as so so so tired. I feel ok for the most part now - but I get frustrated as I find out my stamina isnt what it was a couple of months ago and by 9 / 10pm I'm usually feeling rather fat and uncomfortable

Well, have had a cracking headache for the last couple of days so am feeling awful, although i have started feeling baby kick now so am really pleased, although the movements are still too small for my OH to feel so he's a bit disappointed. I think he thought that when i started feeling it, he'd feel it too. Have my 20 week scan next Friday which we're looking forward to, although we're still undecided as to whether to find out the sex of the baby or not. With Caitlin (my youngest) they told me she was a boy, so we were shocked when he turned out to be a 'she'! Would you find out??????
Anyway, am still weighing in at about 18 stone 5, although yesterday the scales were registering 18 stone 8! Which sent me into a state of panic as i really don't want to hit 19 stone, but i think it may be inevitable by the end of the pregnancy, although saying that my appetite is decreasing as the baby gets bigger which i'm sure will help control the weight gain. Am contemplating going on Cambridge after bubs is born but can't start that until 3 months after the birth, which means i may have to have a backup plan for the three months after the birth. With my first, we were soooo tired that we lived off takeaways and microwave meals which obviously didn't help the weight situation, & with my second i completely lost my appetite after giving birth so I was eating hardly anything which actually made me quite ill - so i need to have some kind of plan in place for when peanut is born.

Hello there, When I got pg with my DS, I was 17.5 stone...and actually got SPD and ended up gaining a ridiculous 7st....yep you read that right 7st. I have diabetes in my family and was lucky not to get it at all but had several tests to check. I had normal BP thoughout and had perfect iron levels. And my DS was born 7.4 lbs.

I am not 19.2st and just found out I am PG, I am hoping that as I am on SW and currently loosing weight that I should be ok.

Don't worry about being big. Honestly for me I had a great pg, and apart from the SPD I was fine. I had a few issues with my size during scans and a few made me feel bad, but in the end if they were nasty to me I complained about it. I was am in a happy time in my life and know How lucky I am to have my babies and will not allow ANYONE make me feel bad for my size. BTW it took us 8 years to have our first and 1 month of trying for this one. So weight I guess is not a real issue.

Good luck...and take care.

J
