Starting over
I love kids. I've got two 
my eldest has just turned 14yrs old. I've got pcos and after I'd had him I was told I was unlikely to have more. I gained 5st with him and was very unhappy with my weight. It spiraled right up from 14st (pre son) to 20st by the time I got pregnant again a full 10 years later. Over the moon with my little girl, but devastated with my 4st gain I started SW last year. Now almost 4yrs later and 3st lighter I'm pregnant again. We haven't used protection for 4yrs and I've not got pregnant before, so what changed... The answer, I booked a 2wk holiday to Florida, that's what changed, there's nothing like hoping you don't get pregnant to ensure that you do, seriously what are the chances????
So now I'm 21.10 and pregnant, and i fear that I'm going to gain 4-5st again putting me right back where I was 3 years ago :-(
Last time I was pregnant the whole experience was miserable. The first time I was pregnant I had people patting my belly, asking me when I was due etc. The second time no one noticed, I was already fat so I guess people didn't want to be rude. I took to wearing bump t-shirts so people knew I wasn't just extra fat, but I felt drained, miserable, suffered with indigestion and I slept 22hrs a day, I was over a stone lighter than I am now. Luckily I never got gestational diabetes, but the doctors and midwives were sure to point out how at risk I was and baby was from this and that because I was overweight. I even got an appointment at the hospital, which when I turned up I immediately realised was a fat pregnant woman meeting to tell us all in a group that we were fat and suggest c-sections or those big needles in the spine because we were all at risk from oversized babies cos we eat too much etc etc
Needless to say, I love kids, but I HATE HATE HATE being pregnant.
And now I have to contend with being 14-15 wks pregnant and hiking across Orlando for 2wks.
