Gaining......petrified!

So, first I should start off by saying that I am 12 weeks pregnant. (complete surprise) For those of you that know this already, all is going well other than the fact that I am already showing (3rd baby) and I am gaining weight.
Duh, I know that I am going to gain, but comming from where we have come, seeing that scale move in the "wrong" direction is sooo scary. I worry about not being able to lose it afterwards. I worry about not getting enough, too much etc. I feel like crap throughout most of the day unless I am munching on something to keep the nausia at bay. I keep veggies and fruit at my desk, I make myself eat those first. I am not at all attacted to protein right now. I just want startch, noodles, bread, you know the stuff that isn't so good in large amounts.
I try to remind myself that it's ok, I am pregnant. Really, is it ok? There are plenty of women that don't gain at all, or less than 10 lbs. Can I be one of them? I am just constantly worried and that isn't good for me or baby either.
So, how do I learn to relax just a hair, enjoy my last pregnancy and know that I can do this? I've failed so many times and now I'm at the point where yes the sleeve helps but it's not "easy" any more. (Not to mention that I am wayyyy to exhauseted to even think about going to the gym, or working out.

Congratulations on a new child. You do as you're Doctors says, and I believe it will be all okay. Eat healthy and everything will workout. It will all ways be scary to put on a pound. But as long as you aren't going over the Doc's recommended, life should be full of love and happiness for the future. Good luck0

Talk to your surgeon and your OB about your fears and get a healthy food plan from them. A plan that will allow you minimal amount of gain and keep the baby growning and healthy. Yes you are going to gain, but you can take it back off again after. After all, you have already lost 100+ pounds, so you know what to do. Trust the doctors and enjoy this surprise blessing! You will be OK and we will all be here to cheer you on!0
