hope you all other moms to be are doing fine.archie today i had my 1st app in goverment hospital(i stay in dubai),before that i had been to private doc and she was nice too.but i have to deliver in gov hospital so i have to go there for future apps also.
anyhow i had lost 2 kgs in my 1st 3 months and now i have put on 3 kgs in just 1 1/2 months.is this normal .i was worried as i am already over weight.and in my 1st pregnency ,i had put on only 5 to 6 kgs .i am trying not to eat any sweets only fruits and meals .please advice.

lets hope for the best
bye for my archie replied. Dear Sam,
Looks like you are 18 weeks pregnant and you have gained about 7 pounds. If I were to consider your weight before pregnancy and today. Looks not bad. I will not be concerned until next appointment updates. Make sure you do not get swellings, that's indication of fluid retention. If that happens then you will cut down salt and carbs.

May be you are normal from your morningsickness and eating heathy, which you should.

your bp is excellent and not a concerning issue.

good that you are feeling fetal movements.

Archie
