Hey thanks heaps both of you! :-)

Answer #2

yeah, totally. average is 30-35 pounds. I gained 40. as long as you are taking good care of youself your fine. ask your doc what he/she recomends you to gain. if they are concerned trust that they will let you know.

Answer #3

Doctors now oftern recommend between 10 and 15 kgs, but that’s individual (and the doctors tend not to be pregnant women themselves)

DO remember that even if you’ve gained a bit now, that may well even itself out over time. It’s not that a pregnant woman starts gaining constantly from day one, at the same rate.

But do keep an eye on the scales, and check with your doctor (and nurse).

Answer #4

Even though you are put off eating by the morning sickness - you really need to eat. The baby needs all the nutrients to grow and you need the nutrients too. So remember eat well!
