Pregnancy weight gain ------------------ I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first child and am starting to worry about my weight gain mainly because of the reaction people have when they ask how much Ive gained. I was 66kg to start with (I am 510 so my BMI was 21-22), and since 27 weeks have suddenly piled on 5kg to bring me to 15kg weight gain so far (not that it seems noticeable?). I think the guidelines suggest 10-15kg total weight gain. I eat fairly healthy, certainly havent doubled my food intake (apart from lately allowing myself the odd chocolate), and still exercise, so I dont really think there is much I could do differently to slow it down. But with 8 weeks to go, at this rate I will have gained 20kg. I am hoping there are some good news stories from other mums who have gained this amount as well...Am I really going as overboard as people are making it sound?? Thanks CMs!
