Pregnancy weight gain?

I have never lost in the first trimester. i'm nearly 18wks and have also gained 9lbs, sounds perfectly normal, especially once bump starts popping out it can make you feel frumpy rather than pregnant. In a few weeks baby will be much more of a bump and less pudge, but if you are worried, now you are feeling a little better, gentle exercise is a good routine to get into, and will help burn that extra choccy bar you treated yourself to. remember the 200 calorie rule, try not to increase your intake from your normal diet to more than 200cals extra, and you should be fine. All the best xxxxxx
