Do try to put on weight while you are pregnant by all means, but keep yourself fit around those hips for the birthing day, once you give birth then is the time to hit the crash weight gain, but if you intend breast feeding keep off the mass gain shakes.

Most women that have just given birth can balloon the belly right out till it almost looks pregnant again very quickly because your metabolism will be slow, and the slow metabolism will help you gain rapidly after birth, maximize your pregnancy weight by all means but watch out you don't get the babies too heavy or your birth might be more agony than you expect.

174lbs at birth to 243lbs in 10 weeks was not bad for my cousin's missus but she's lost the weight, but post pregnancy women's weigh can go up pretty fast... if only men could gain like a new mum

Just seen this new follow feature replacing the friends invite tab... how do you invite someone as a friend now?

I'd be interested, could maybe relocate, unless you like the sound of coming to Largs?

Eating as much as you can through the day, have that all important bedtime snack that's very high in saturated fat

The other thing, though some might not want to try them, is weight gain shakes, if you are generally sedentary they can help you really pile on serious weight in addition to a very fattening diet, one big tub I got in 2010 helped me boost my at the time 47" waist to 53.5" in about 7 to 8 weeks.

Eat lots of desserts, plenty fried foods, and don't resist the takeaway on the way home.

If your metabolism is fast you will find it hard to gain weight fast.
