Don't stress yourself out too much Tigger - first not good for baby to have a stressed out mom and second if your not taking in enough calories your baby will be taking nourishment from your bones, organs, teeth ect. which in the future can bring long lasting problems. One other thing is you don't want a low birth weight baby - this has it's own set of potential problems.

Now that you can tolerate food eat when your hungry bc you may be ravenous every few hours and take it easy. Your body went through a lot these last 20+ weeks growing your little one now you can start to enjoy it.

Weigh in at doctor's office today says I am up 12lbs from last month. Doctor isn't concerned at all though. Currently at negative 5 from prepregnancy. I am 22 weeks.

Last week's gain has been pretty much on the higher side and I am yet to go on my babymoon this week,which means lot of eating out!worried, how i keep myself within 20-22 pounds increase for entire pregnancy!

I am just about 6 months now and have gotten back to my prepregnancy weight as of this morning.
On one hand, looking at just prepregnancy to now, there is no cause for concern because according to that method of 'measuring' I haven't gained anything.
On the other hand, I dipped down in weight in the first 4 months of pregnancy because of morning sickness. I lost 17lbs and just starting gaining 8 weeks ago. So, as you can see, this means I have gained 17lbs in 8 weeks!
I am not too concerned with where I sit now, but I hope the rate of weight gain slows a little - I think I have gained quite a bit fairly quickly.

Nice job Amy! I too am hoping to get back to daily exercise again this week!

Just realised that 25 pounds is only 11 kilos which is the low end of those who have a healthy BMI.. not that I am in the group!! haha 5-9kgs for me 11-19 pounds.

I am exercising daily now so I am looking forward to seeing what the scales say this Friday, I had a eating blow out prior to this as staying at a friend house.

Well I didn't even gain a lb this week which is GOOD. DH and I didn't go out to eat at all, and cooked at home. I also didn't have any chocolate or sugary crap. Hopefully this will be the answer.

27.7 lbs gained so far. I've resigned myself to gaining 35 pounds. I'm just really hoping to stay under 200!!!

That is already out the window for me Hit 200 this morning.

I'm going on a diet anyway! I was a bit overweight when I got pregnant. I still had 10 lbs I wanted to lose.. now i'll have 30. Hopefully i'll lose 20 with the baby though. LOL.

Did really well last week and only gained a little over half a lb. This week I gained 2. But I ate a lot of heavy foods yesterday and had a lot of gluten free brownies this past week. I'm hoping to slow the gain down again this week. My goal is to ONLY gain 5 lbs or less this month since my doctors weren't happy with my 9lb gain in between my last two appointments. Gotta get better.
