I was pretty sick from about 6-12 weeks of this pregnancy. During that time I didn't gain any weight. Since then I've gained over TEN POUNDS!! For those of you doing the math at home that is 10 lbs. in about 6 weeks or almost 2 lbs. a week! If I keep this up I will gain about 40 more lbs. before this pregnancy is done.
I'm really not trying to worry about it but I gained 70 lbs. when pregnant with The Bull and 50 when pregnant with Goldilocks (10 of which I never lost). I just want to be healthy and I am not making very healthy choices lately. I justify it by taking my prenatal vitamins very regularly but I know that eating all this junk food is not good for me or the baby. Plus, I know how hard it is to maintain a healthy weight with two children it will be just that much harder with three.
Also I know SO MANY people who are pregnant right now and most of them are due right around the same time as me. All of them have a cute baby bump and I still don't. I have a huge ass and thunderous thighs but no cute little belly bump. In the morning my stomach is still pretty flat although it has grown some extra fat rolls. When I lay on my back I have very round bulge in the lower abdomen but when I stand up it spreads out and I just look like a fatty.
I'm just venting, obviously I'm not doing anything to change this and going on a diet is completely out of the question but I would really appreciate it if I could get a little belly soon so I could feel little more pregnant and a little less fat.
That's the hard about the 2nd trimester...don't worry, it will look more and more like baby and less and less like padding as time goes by. :) Tell your kids that the WHOLE family has to eat healthy for the new baby...and that way you don't have to buy as much "danger junk food". But also, honestly....being pregnant is the only time in our lives when we are actually ALLOWED to eat what we crave and indulge more than usual. So don't sweat it too much, I'll watch Coconut so you can go for long walks in the park in the fall. :)
ReplyDeleteSo all that chocolate I gave you made you gain 5 of those 10 pounds? Dude! Moderation! ;-)
