Before I had my first child I was quite puzzled by a friend
who told me his wife was 'never the same’ after having children. He didn't go
into detail and I, being well acquainted with his wife, who is slender and

So not only do you feel worse, it takes longer! The answer is a birth plan.

The pressure to eat right when pregnant is intense. Maternity clothes are modelled by women who are all legs and belly and the books all tell you how every food you eat becomes fuel for your growing bump. ‘No empty calories’ is the cry. They say that every pregnancy is different and in the last two months I put on a staggering 14 kg. I was devastated. From a fairly normal 12kg for the first 7 months this extra meant a hefty 26kg for the whole pregnancy. I felt so guilty and wondered if I had done something wrong.
