| Molly is thinking "Slow down your weight gain Kaley!" |
When I was 5 weeks pregnant, newly minted if you will, I reasoned that I am petite and should gain 25 lbs which is low average. Then morning sickness kicked in and I lost two pounds. Then I began to be able to eat dinner and carbs to settle my stomach. I immediately gained five pounds.
The midwife told me I could gain 10 by 20 weeks. I'm 12 weeks on Sunday (they changed my due date based on the ultrasound). I have 8 weeks and I can only gain five pounds! I guess I shouldn't have had fast food three times this week, but what's a woman supposed to do when her husband is underway on a Naval ship and she barely has the energy to put on pajamas before collapsing on the couch after work?
Then I had a morbidly obese man that I work with say to me;
"Remember, you're eating for one and a tiny baby, not two."
I continued to lay across the copier while waiting for my copies, but thought to myself;
"And you eat for, what? ten? everyday?"
Then a student said to me;
"Your belly looks soft, not hard like other pregnant ladies."
Waaaaah!
My conclusion? I'm going to be a blimp if I can't get my act together.

That is a tiny baby bump. I gained more weight than the Dr. wanted me to also. I gained like, 12 lbs, in one month! But I hadn't gained anything until then. You may have to go to the grocery store salad bar instead of the drive thru. Or do they have drive thru salad bars over there?

hahha...good luck! I was doing SOOO well and then hit the end of my pregnancy. Somehow I went from 25 pounds to well, I am too embarrassed to say. lol Just enjoy your pregnancy and no you should not eat fast food 3 times a week or you will be sorry. You want to save your weight gain til your third trimester. I just packed on the pounds and at that point I had given up ice cream :)
Don't worry too much about the weight- just try to eat as healthy as you can. The only thing I could stomach until 16 weeks was carbs...
What's with you eating so much fast food? Don't you know that you could get fat?
Just kidding...you're perfect just the way you are.
