I remember my doctor saying that he was proud of how well I was doing and all. Now...the first pregnancy I was nauseated all the time, so that contributed to the weight loss, but I wasn't like that with the second one....and I didn't seem to be gaining weight like I would when I wasn't pregnant. It's like it's the only time in our lives that our bodies were "normal" as far as the hormonal balance goes. Hmmmm.....not saying it'll be like that for everyone....just something three of us noticed.
