Im surprised the MW's let you put on 4 1/2stones (My friends daughter was getting shouted at when she reached the 2 1/2 stone mark) MW told her to cut back

she was so embarrassed. Im sure you will be fine hun and a little bit of self control after baby is born and you will soon be back to pre pregnancy weight (I think- I lost 2 stone as I had bad morning sickness

)

the weight will soon come off with all the walking and breast feeding helps...

that happened to me first time round, lost a stone at first cos of morning sickness. I think alot of my weight is fluid. my legs, ankles and feet are shockin and ive got an underactive thyroid which ive been lucky with up till now.
im 30 weeks soon and have put on 2 stone,dunno how much i put on with kieran but couldnt od been much as only had a small bump but i remember weighin myself after him and i was 2 stone more than normal and i was so upset i thought it would never go but i lost it after a couple of weeks lol xx
i went up to 13 stone on my son lost weight through sickness first went to 9stone 8 then to 13 stone from that, this time round i am still not bk to my pre preg weight yest as i lost again through being sick, i have also got an underactive thyroide too hoping i wont to on too much weight with it , but dont worry hun im sure it will all come off easily afterwards.
thanks, feel loads better now. I was tryin not to think bout it 2 much, but hadnt seen my oh's mother for a while and 1st thing she said to me was just how fat i had got!! made me feel so good bout myself!!! anyway my mums a fitness instructor, had 6 kids and is a size 8 so im sure she'll help me get it off. Loadsa walks with baba and my dog!

still i i got horrid belly not many stretch marks there on mi boobs but just wrinkly..lol
well the lady that helps me in college had triplets and i think shes a size 6, shes sooo tiny lol xx
ive just started getting them on my side now!! just a couple but me thighs are covered in them. im not a mini skirt or crop top wearer, neva have been and never will be so its not a problem really. OH aint bothered by them. just dont wanna saggy belly, went flat after 1st but didnt have much of a bump to start with. babies aint good for your figure, but i think having a cute bundle of joy is much nicer than havin a barbie doll figure!!!
