Not sure if this is an issue or not but thought others might know.
Since falling pregnant all that time ago (I am currently 28 weeks now) I have weighed myself on the one set of scales (at the chemist) at various times.
I have barely put on any weight though I do have a nice round bump in front.
Changes in lifestyle from my first pregnancy include living in a highset (stairs), having a toddler (chasing & moving around after him & other mum stuff to a toddler), no car to get to the shops (DH takes it for work so I push the pram up to the shops every now & then).
I obviously dont eat alot of fatty foods etc...
Anyone else experience this at all?? I feel great btw. Dont feel ill, can feel bubby wriggle around often & am not worried or concerned.
Anyone????? :wave:

If bubs is growing and you generally feel well then i wouldnt worry too much if you are concerned though speak to your ob :)

I am 38 weeks and have only put on 6kgs much the same as yourself though i am constantly on the go, running round after kids, walking etc. My obs happy as bubs is growing :)

I lost approx 15kg in each of my first 2 pregnancies, 6kg in my third and this time I am at 22 weeks and haven't put on an ounce!

It is all up to how your body reacts to pregnancy and as long as you and the baby are healthy and you are not feeling too fatigued or actively trying not to put weight on, then everything should be fine!
