Kim Kardashian has made it no secret her appearance is important to her, but at the same time is comfortable with announcing to the world exactly how much pregnancy weight she's gained so far.

Despite having to know her message would make headlines around the world, the woman who is expecting a son with husband Kanye West posted the tweet below on Tuesday evening:

Ok I'm 52 lbs up today....and I still have 6 weeks to go! I got my work cut out for me!!!! " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

So far, the response to Kim Kardashian's pregnancy weight tweet has been positive. A peek at what a few Twitter users wrote to support this star mom:

@Aussie_Kardash: your body is all baby !!!! You have nothing to worry about !!

@KimKourtKhloeK: even if you were up 300 lbs you would still look gorgeous!!! I'm soooo ready for the bounce back though!!!!!!

@itsKELSEYtho: awwww but we know the bounce back will be strong and so do you! You got this Kim! You look beautiful always!

@hadidgomez: adopt me

Isn't it great to see so many positive messages? I can't personally read all of what Twitter had to say in response to Kim's weight reveal, but to not see a single snarky reply in the first 50 made me smile.

To be honest, I don't have a firm number in my head for what I gained while expecting each of my sons. I believe each time it was in the 45-pound range, but I purposely stopped paying attention in the final weeks of my pregnancies. I was feeling fairly bad about my size, and I feared etching a firm number in my brain forevermore would sink me into a terrible funk.

Years later I'm not so emotional about it, but there's no way I would have shared my number with the world at that time.

How do you feel about telling others how much pregnancy weight you gained? Do you applaud Kim sharing her number?
