Hi, I know I don't qualify for your research but I just wanted to say how much I relate to what You are talkin about. I'm a young mum (22 for first bub). I tried for the whole of my pregnancy not to put on weight because of what people might think. I never felt free to just enjoy it (enjoy the excuse to eat chocolate etc). After my baby girl was born I spent the next 12 months losing weight. I have now reached my goal weight (lost 20kgs), which makes me smaller than before I was pregnant. But, my husband and I are talking about another baby. My biggest issue with it is the weight... but no one else seems to understand why it such a big deal! Thanks for making this public!
Cheers,
Bree.
