weight gain
posted 14th Dec '07
ok.....im 22 wks n i dont feel i eat enough. i go to bed around 4am n wake up around 2pm. i guess that could be part of the problem (if i have one). i hear ur suppose to eat like 6 small meals a day but im lucky if i eat at least 3 times. n wen i do eat its usually small portions. i was a big eater pre-preg. sometimes my stomach feels so full after ive eaten just 1 pc. of chicken and a scoop of rice n i dont have an appetite for anything. ive only gained 9 lbs. so far.......is that regular. i have an appt. soon n ill ask my dr. but has anyone else been through this? i feel that my baby is not getting enough......

That's almost how I am, too lol. I only had morning sickness for about 3 or 4 weeks and it made me lose my appetite. I'm just now getting it back, but it used to be that I could only eat maybe a bite or two of anything and then I'd be full. Then about a half hour later I would be starving. After I would fix something to eat, the same thing would happen all over again. Two bites, and I was full lol.

I was the same way for awhile but now it all depends. Some days I can eat and eat and eat and others I eat half of what is on my plate and I'm full!! I have only gained 14 lbs so far in my pregnancy and I'm 33 weeks!! But my daughter seems to be growing fine according to my doctor. He doesn't seem at all worried about my weight gain, or lack thereof I suppose hehe. I was worried in the beginning too but he assured me that I was fine as long as she continued to grow properly which she has! He says I'm just one of the "lucky ones" that will most likely be smaller after I have the baby than I was before I got pregnant with her!! Which is great news to me cuz I wanting to lose weight before I found out I was preggers!! So I wouldn't stress too much over this. But if you are still worried then just talk to your doctor like you plan to and I'm sure everything will work out! Good luck hun!
