StellaK you are a doll! Thanks for doing the list!

Ayesha I agree, keep your feet up where possible.

Meags...I have a pigeon pair so I really shouldn't find out the sex but man I am soooo nosy!!!!!!!!!! I am hoping we will see next week! You're strong woman!!

Ctelly as somebody that WISHES I could eat....I say enjoy it for now. Don't go overboard though. Maybe try walking, swimming (just not a heated pool).

I gained about 10kgs with each pregnancy. Lost about 12kgs within a week to 10 days with each. I lost weight with both pregnancies it seems. And seeing as I started this one losing 7-8kgs already...it would be great if after all this suffering I don't have a big weight gain. I however am overweight so that plays a role. I'm very careful about what I eat and try not to gain weight (with the last 2). Now....I wish I could just crave a toasted cheese sandwich...*sigh* So I say eat girls!! lol

Angie...I still have to get through 6 days for my scan!! I'm so jealous yours is Friday! Have not had a scan in 5 weeks now! Oi.

hehehe, Meags, yes i am lucky. and breastfeeding did its part for my. it only took 9 weeks after his birth for me to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and since then I lost another 8 kg's without really putting in any effort.

now at almost 4 months pregnant i have only gained 2 kg's. already doing much better than the first time around

i've read somewhere that healthy weight gain is 2 kg for the first 3 months and there after 0.5 kg's every week

Wow Stella you are so lucky!! With my first I gained 24kg (from not watching what I ate) and I really struggled to lose it. I lost about 15kg with ease but over the last 4 years have yo yo'd up and down those last 9kgs, unable to keep them off for good.

So this time round I am really trying to watch what I eat as I would really prefer not to gain more than 12kg max

ok lets try it this way.
see attached

list is arranged by the order of due dates

getting all the names on the list i wonder, Suki, BoomBoom, haven't heard from you in a while. how are you doing?

Ctelly, i'm constantly hungry and eat like a pig. im struggling to keep to healthy foods and i have only gained 2 kg now.
this is the one time in your life that you should not bother about your weight.
i gained 20kg's with my first pregnancy and 1 day after his birth i lost 12 kg's. most of what you gain is all to do with little baby - additional blood, the baby, amniotic fluids, your boobs, water retention in your body, etc

@Prenessa, congrats on your lil princess!

@Simone, I was also wondering what a ‘pooping list’ is lol, shame I hope your morning sickness passes soon

Nice pics @Happyface I am going for an appointment on Friday (13 weeks) baby was camera shy last week for our 12 week appointment.

My EDD is 27 August, haven’t found out gender yet, next scan on Friday.

I've got a Question for you all.. I'm eating like crazy coz this little one inside me is making me hungry (constantly). I eat frequently but try to make sure it is healthy stuff and small portions.. however I'm so afraid of getting overweight instead of just gaining the sufficient weight - any tips or exercises that I can do to burn calories? Luckily I only crave salty snacks and actual food, not a lot of sugar intake.
