The way that I am looking at this whole weight gain scenerio is

that any weight that I gain is of a benefit to the new life that I am

cooking inside me right now. Try not to look at it that you will be

gaining weight or that your stomach is getting larger. Look at it

that for every bit of weight you gain, so does the baby. For every

little bit your belly grows, so does the baby. Our weight gain is

only temporary, but if the baby does not gain weight, you won't have

a happy, healthy child. It is all about changing your perspective on

why you are eating or what you are eating. Right now I am eating to

help my baby grow and to keep me healthy. Keep your chin up and try

not to stress over your weight right now, it wil be ok.

Good luck,

I so understand what you are saying. Obviously since this is my first baby I

can't speak about whether the weight will come off or not, but I do have some of

the same worries you have. I have gained approximately 30lbs with this

pregnancy and I pray that it will come off quickly and easily. I have had a

little glimpse back into my pre-op body, not my pre-op weight but some of the

pain issues and struggles my body went through on a daily basis being over

weight, and I don't like it at all! I want my smaller body back, I need it

back. I'm trying not to get to worried about it, instead focusing on the fact

that breastfeeding will help the pounds come off quickly and the walks I am

going to take my baby on to get my body moving. Hopefully once this baby is

here next week I will be able to share with the group that the weight is coming

off easily, I definitely will be watching the scale closely.

Freaking out

OK, I know I am suspose to gain weight and all along I thought I

would be ok with it, but at my appointment today I had gained 5lbs!!

5lbs in 4 weeks. I know that is not bad, I am 22 weeks and had lost

12lbs as of my last appointment. If I am suspose to gain 1lb a week

from now on, that means I will gain around 23lbs!! UUUUUGGGGGG!!!

Again I know in my right mind that that is ok but I guess it is just

hard to see the scale going up. Someone tell me I will loose the

weight and I wont get as big as a house again. Someone tell me I am

being silly and to suck it up. Listening to myself, I feel so

shallow.

Thanks for letting me freak out. My hubby didnt seem to see it as

big of a problem as I did.
