Re: ita-New mbr/12weeks prego & gaining weight

[Guest guest]

Hi ita, I toog ained 5 pounds by my 12 th week and was scared to death

seeing the scale go up. I am now 19 1/2 weeks and have gained 11 pounds and the

docs are very pleased, they were worried I would not gain. I have read on this

group from many and i firmly believe that this will all go away after the

baby is born. the docs want me to gain 30-35 pounds and I am being careful what

I

eat since I do not want to gain from eating junk. I did eat everything in

site the first trimester too but it has really slowed down since the first

trimester is over. I now am not pigging out on everything, I have NO cravings

anymore and I eat all healthy things. I think youa re feeling normal about

feeling

fat. That is also how i felt but i can now feel my uterus up to my navel and I

know its a baby now because i can feel it moving so i do feel pregnant now and

not just fat. I still have 75 pounds to goal so I was still on the heavy side

even though i carry it very well. Good luck to you and congratulations on

your new baby coming.

God Bless,
