Need more pregnant friends

I'm getting a little down at watching all the regular friends I have continue to rock it and lose weight. I know I'm supposed to gain weight, but I've put on almost 28lbs since my postive pregnancy test. I fault myself completely for this. I am the one putting the bad food in my mouth. I was really sick for the first 16 weeks so all that kept me from getting through the day was eating complex carbs (think chips, breads, crackers etc). I immediately, and still do, throw up any lean proteins. I hate it, but it's my reality. My daughters pregnancy was nothing like this, I only gained 20 lbs with her.
So anyone out there still active on MFP? Today is my new start, so I'm going to be logging my foods from here on out. I usually use the mobile app, so I don't get a chance to get on the community board much or to view the groups. Having some friends who are also pregnant will help me out I think.
I'm due in July and am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I have one living daughter and one angel son. We will find out tomorrow what the sex of the baby is so that's exciting.

    Hi missy, first of all, congrats on baba :) I'm 10+2 today and have gained about 10lbs so far (though I found out on Christmas day that I'm pregnant and have no idea how much I gained over that time as I did go OTT lol.)

    I've also restarted on MFP (new name etc, I was VickyClare75 before) The constant hunger (for crappy foods) is getting me down too. I have started to exercise again so hopefully I can start to control my eating again.

    Feel free to add me, I log in everyday. Also anyone else please feel free to add me too :)

    Take care x x

    Anyone can add me also. I am only four weeks, but gained over 55 pounds with my daughter and plan NOT to do that this time. I just lost 36 pounds and have been at maintenence for a couple of months. I am not anticipating that I will be thrilled watching my ticker go backwards, but my ultimate goal is that it doesn't get back to zero, lol.

    So sorry you are having a rough go of things!
