This doesn't happen often! Maybe two or three times a year. (Yes, I need to get checked out I'm sure, but that's not what this thread's about!)
I often hear that you hold extra water when TOM is around, so the scale doesn't shake around too much. As someone who doesn't experience this often, I'm seeking advice and knowledge of you women who have a bit more experience than me.
Q1: Generally speaking, do most women experience a slowdown/halt/gain in weight while TOM is around, or just some women?
Q2: Generally speaking again, when does this start happening? When TOM shows up, or a little bit before? - If before, since when?
Q3: Will taking measurements be skew by TOM? If you're retaining water, will you be more bloaty and have strange measurements?
