My Pre-Pregnancy BMI is ....

Hehehe - "Overweight" it says...

So, I must aim to gain in between 7-11 kg.

At 28 weeks, I am about 70kg ... thus my weight gain so far is 3.4 kg.

(Maybe that's why Missy Binny is measuring a week smaller...)

Must gain a little bit more! More Tandoori Chicken, please!
