This may be a bit personal, but I'm dying to know!
I haven't bothered weighing myself for a few months, but I saw the midwife today and asked to use the scales before I left as the battery is dead in mine. I didn't think I'd really put on any weight but it turns out since my first appointment with the midwife in September I've put on a stone! The midwife didn't weigh me last time, and when I commented to OH that I had put weight on she didn't seem concerned/write it down.
But then two people I've spoken to since said they only put on a stone and a half through the whole pregnancy, and that I'll be putting on a lot more later. I don't think I look overweight in the slightest...I have a bump [although everyone keeps telling me how tiny I look, much to my annoyance!] and my boobs have grown 3 cup sizes and a back size, so I'm thinking it could be down to this?
I was a bit on the skinny side before and am tall...I'm 5ft9, NOW weighing 10st 6lb, and my BMI was 20 when recorded at my first appointment, so is this why?
My mum was saying I should stop eating so much crap because I'll have a lot to lose after the birth, but I've never been one to put weight on easily and have always eaten fatty foods without giving it a second thought in terms of calories....I am trying to eat plenty of fruit and veg etc, but I can't see me giving up the good stuff either! I'm thinking it's just boob weight/blood/baby/placenta etc rather than fat?
Sorry for the essay, just wanted to check with you lot!
