Hi Mummy, I’m a plus-size STM and weighing 100kg and standing at 160cm. I’m still the same weight now at 23 weeks as when I was pregnant with #1 at 23 weeks also. No GD for firstborn. Not sure about #2 cause I’ve yet to take ny OGTT end of April. Controlling my daily meals but not too extreme as I have sweet tooth easily. Watch your diet. For real, not kidding at all. Control your sugar intake daily. Drink plenty of water like 3L a day. Eat small meals frequently, don’t overeat as you can get breathless easily even in 1st trimester. Stretch a lot, wear comfy shoes and elevate your legs more often. Watch out for signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia. I developed it post-delivery for my firstborn and was warded for 6 days in hospital. BP was 150s or more most of the time. So be careful. Being obese is dangerous so sneak in some walking at least 30 mins a day.
