Hi Katie, 4 kilos is really neat, I must say.

You already have half a kilo of uterus, half a kilo of blood, bigger breasts, amniotic fluid, and a baby. That's almost 3 kilos together.

    Hi! I'm 18 weeks pregnant and have lost 1 kilo. It's making me a little worried...

    That's not necessary @ Mirjam, it all depends on your starting weight! Otherwise, just talk to your midwife.

    Wish I gained weight like that too! I'm 19 weeks and already put on a solid 7 kg. I think this is also because I quit smoking completely.
    But yeah, who knows why, right I'll gladly take it on, if it comes off easily later, we'll just have to wait and see

    Hey Wendy:
    You can be really proud of your weight gain!!
    All I hear from my friends is that they didn't "bother" to quit smoking! (And a lot more..) I was horrified, and now I look at them with different eyes..
    Meanwhile, I'm getting a hard time for still wearing heels, being free and dancing!??
    As long as your baby is healthy, right!!
    I think that feels a lot better than a cigarette..
