I Rach and I'm 27 weeks with number 3, 2nd pregnancy (twins are 19 months old).
I gained over 3.5st with the boys but it was all fluid which was gone by the time they were 4 weeks old - by the time they were about 4 months I'd lost another half a stone (very little time to eat/ snack). I'm sure I won't be so lucky this time. I also gained a stone before finding out about this little surprise!!
My entire adult life I've always bobbed between 10st and about 11st10 - being the heavier end when my twins were conceived. I really don't want to be left with too much gain hanging around once this one arrives! I know that this will be my 3rd and final baby (I'm 40) And am determined to get my pre babies body back asap (although a steamroller will never get this stomach flat). As you'll see from my stats I've never been a stick but I'm a good, happy, confident me nearer to 10 than 12 stone! I've had successes with WW and SW in the past, I stick to ww more as I feel somewhat restricted on SW although I know it's very healthy.
I've been very hit and miss so far this pregnancy - great till about 18 weeks (trying to stick to slimming world and gaining 9lb) then truly shocking until 25w. I haven't braved the scales yet to see the damage.
I'm feeling the strain now, getting bigger and feeling really uncomfortable (digestion Wise!!!) after big meals. I still am very peckish though so little and often is the key.
I'm using myfitnesspal to count calories now as the SW plan just isn't rocking my boat - just don't fancy the meals I used to do. I was a member of minimins for a number of years and found it a great inspiration. Looking forward to chatting to others on here.

So I've braved the scales - 1st 1lb on so far. To be fair it could have been a hell of a lot worse. I'll have to work bloody hard to keep below a 2st gain overall!!

Yay! Sun!! Good because I can get out with the boys on my days off and eat plenty of hearty salads. Bad because it may well bring back my elephant feet (odeama).
Got to try drinking more to prevent that happening this time!

Hi Lulu Congratz on your pregnancy.. Hope all is going well? You must be nearly there now? How are you doing? I'm currently pregnant with number 2.. my LG will have turned 2 in Feb n baby is due in March... So excited... Managed to gain 13lbs from start to finish last time and am the same weight now as I was when I got my first BFP (Big fat positive) so hoping to follow SW again this time and keep it to a minimum again... So far so good as I am still the same as when I found out I was pregnant

Tiredness has started lifting now so thankfully getting a little energy to tidy up in the evenings.. Sickness is all but gone too. Didn't have it constant but had a few bad days.
