Anyone else pregnant?

OMG I'm so glad I found this post. I'm now 6 months pregnant and desperately need to gain weight. My baby girl is growing just fine, but I've lost a ton of weight and it looking like they will have to do a c-section (which I really don't want) if I don't gain weight fast. I'm not trying to lose weight or anything. I'm just naturally never hungry. I have 15 weeks til my due date and I want to gain at least 16 lbs. I lost 24 lbs in my first trimester and it set me back alot.

Hello everyone, just about to hit 28 weeks myself. I told myself I wouldn't be calorie conscious this pregnancy so I stopped tracking when we started trying to get pregnant. I didn't realize there was a way to account for pregnancy until just recently researched it. I found out that I can earn more points through our health program if I am regularly tracking my food so I have started up again, swearing to myself that I wouldn't let the calories get to me. I was actually surprised to find that I have been under in calorie count every day since, though, so I am regretting not tracking all along.

I have gained about 22 lbs so far but I am really not shocked. I gained 40 with my first son and it all came off pretty immediately within weeks thanks to breastfeeding. I am glad to stumble across others who are going through the same journey. Anyone know what they are having yet? Tell me about your experiences.

I'm curious -- do you know why they think you'd need a c-section because of lack of weight gain? I've generally heard the opposite.

I'm about 6 weeks along, and determined to not gain as fast/to lose it sooner than I did with my first! This is a little bit tricky because I struggle with first-tri nausea that is only soothed by eating something! Thinking of getting some sugar-free ginger candies or ginger tea to combat the need to munch constantly.

Hi ladies, 12 weeks here, second pregnancy, hopefully first take home baby (I had a miscarriage in October). I'm hoping for a healthy pregnancy. This is an IVF baby and I gained some weight during that process (5 lbs my doctor wanted me to gain, 5 lbs from the hormones). I'm currently up 2 lbs from my end IVF weight to 12 weeks but have been struggling with eating healthy and continuing my workouts due to pretty bad nausea. I'd love to meet others interested in a healthy pregnancy!

I'm not currently pregnant, but with each of my four babies I lost between 25 and 40 pounds. Babies were always nice and big, I was induced at 38 weeks with 3 of them (3rd baby came at 38 on her own) I don't know why they'd say c section though unless something else is going on? I always started at a healthy weight, then had to gain back after....

Not sure how far along I am, first Dr apt on the 28th and they will determine then.
2nd baby... we were not trying but of course we are happy.

I am, still on the rollercoaster of emotions as like I said we weren't trying to get pregnant. In fact it was the last thing I wanted as I'm so very scared to gain a ton and not have motivation to lose after the baby comes. Guess I feel a little guilty for not being excited, I mean this means my body is healthy... healthy enough to support another life... I feel like I should be ecstatic as Dr's told me I have POCS and another child would be very difficult.

I also suffer from first tri- sickness only soothed by filling my tummy. So far I'm doing okay but I don't think I'm any more than 8 weeks along.

Yep. I still hadn't lost all my weight from my 6 month old, so trying to minimize weight gain, since I'm starting out overweight. Hoping this will help keep me on track.

Hi I'm 16 weeks pregnant, hoping to gain only about 25 lbs. I have gained about 4 lbs so far. I'm having a boy and super excited about that. He will join his "big brother" Frank which is actually our miniature schnauzer, but I consider my first son.... and best running buddy I could ask for, kicks my but in 10 and 15 km runs constantly. Can't wait to add a baby stroller to the runs in addition to Frank.

Hey ladies not pregnant, but i am 6 months post partum. I gained 35 lbs while pregnant, that is normal plus this was my second and i am older now. Weight got back to normal a week after birth, and now I am below what i used to weigh. Don't get caught up in how much you wanna weigh, you can't really control that too much, enjoy the pregnancy, and obviously eat healthy and enough cheat meals . As far as gaining weight if your baby is fine, he and you are fine, its all about your body type(if you are petite, chances are you wont gain much). Both of my pregnancies, i lost about 10 lbs the first 2 or 3 months, and then gained that back the second trimester. Our babies are just taking all the fat and nutrients leftover in us to grow, doesnt mean you are unhealthy. I wish you all luck in your pregnancies. Enjoy your sleep!
