Weight!!!
Ok so I know its not been long since we've had our babys but I can't believe how much weight I've put on!! I don't know exactly how much it is as I HATE the scales lol but I can still only fit in my maternity clothes! Ive gone up a whole dress size!! Of course it doesn't help with it being christmas and everyone giving us chocolate, I swear there is enough chocolate under our tree to last the entire forces for a year lol
Is anyone else feeling like this or just me?

Did get on the scales a couple of times and was amazed to see i'd lost half a stone in 2 days, breastfeeding comes in useful for somethings!!! To get back to where i was before i fell pregnant the first time (summer 2006) i have got about 2 1/2 stone to lose but i've done it before so know i can do it again. Now i'm capable of walking more than 10 paces i can start taking the dog out again, we used to do 3 -4 miles every night, but will start small with a trip round the block!!
Yes it is a conspiracy for the chocolate! not helped by my mum buying me a BIG box of Thorntons Continetals to say congratulations on having Philip, lovely thought but once i open them that will be it, they'll last about two days!!
Plus oh just gave me a bowl of carte dor ice cream, yum yum!!
Curry on it's way...anyone'd think I was trying to induce a baby!!!
Can I ask how much weight people put on during their pregnancy and how much they had lost once they had their baby?
I was doing really well for ages but my weight was still going up at my last midwife appointment and I have put on about 2 stone. I'm normally a size 8 to 10 and around 8 1/2 to 9 stone. She said it is a fairly average amount for my size and I don't seem to have put weight on anywhere other than my bump but not sure how deceptive that is since it looks like my bump is about 50% of my body weight at the moment!!
All your pics are just sooooo cute, I cannot wait until I can put a photo of my lo up there. Desperate to meet him now, had more period pains this afternoon which made me feel like I needed to lie down, only last half an hour though and faded away again!

hope u get to put ur pic up soon!!
i put on 4 stone when pregnant and lost 1.5stone after having ryan, now got 2stone to go. i think u lose alot with birth and if u breast feed and dont weigh urself straight away it wont seem so bad!
personally im happy with my size,im bigger than i have ever been but am comfy in size 12s. i hate it when people comment on my weight, i have just had a baby! and its even more upsetting when i think i look quite good! sod everyone else, i dont want to spend the year dieting and getting down over my weight, i just want to enjoy ryan and im sure the weight will drop off as our los get us running around after em xxx
I'm still wearing all my maternity clothes and plan to until my c-section wound has healed a little more!
I'm not worrying about it too much but I'm struggling to eat regularly anyway as Amy is keeping me so busy!
Went out for our first walk today and seeing as it's the only exercise I can do for the next 6 weeks, it's something I'm going to do every day!
Feel like I am carrying a heffalump at the moment!
