I swear, I had put on 3 stone at my last ill advised weigh- in! Im 25, and normally bang on 10st - size 10/12. Last time I weighed myself was at about 27 weeks- Im 37 weeks now, and DO NOT want to know how much more Ive put on! DONT WORRY ABOUT IT! Ive been excersizing, and eating healthily....I think its just natural to lay down fat when pregnant...and it doesnt last forever!

I haven't had that problem. Not yet, anyway! I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and have gained 1st and 10lbs already, which my GP recons is quite a lot for an 18 year old at 28 weeks. I feel so heavy and I get out of breath after just walking up the stairs, its really quite annoying!

I keep vomiting after eating. This has been going on for 2-3 days now. I phoned our "out of hour" service and the doctor said there is nothing much I can do to help stop it because it sounded like my baby is "too big" for my body and my body cant expand anymore, so baby is having to push upwards and the only way of relieving the pain is to have the baby. Has anyone else experianced this.? I am 34 weeks.
