Question asked on 4 A Kid Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/4-A-Kid/156121949758 ):
How much weight did you gain in your pregnancy?
Answers from 4aKid fans:
Carly Brown Huppatz Corban I put on over 60kg. i started at 55kg and stopped counting St 115kg my son was born 4 weeks later was too scared to look at the scales. Second pregnancy was worse even though I watched what I ate. after second pregnant I couldn’t drop the weight and fell pregnant already weighing 85kg. I was petrified how big I would get but only put on 12 kg.

Roché Young I decided not to weigh myself, in order to not obsess about my weight…it was in my nature.
Six weeks after having my 4.54kg baby girl, I weighed in 7kg heavier than I was when I got pregnant. Funny enough, I’m heavier but my weight bothers me less now than it did pre-motherhood
