Im not sure but what are your eating
habits like? Are the docs concerned about
it? Weight gain is normal, unless you
walk alot and eat very healthy. But.. If
your like jordan and go crazy eating-you
gain alot. Lol. I think I have gained 2
pounds and im 4 months on friday. Only
because I gained 6, then got sick and lost
4. Lol. But im trying to eat very, very
healthy. And jordan is almost due and I
think she gained 50+ pounds since being
pregnant. Some women vary in weight
though, you should call and ask the nurse
or wait for your doc so you can ask. But
you could be retaining water, so drink
alot of water and eat less salt.

I dont eat good at all. I know I shouldnt
but sometimes I just have to eat what I
have to eat cuz there aint always much to
choose from. Ive gained a total of 28 lbs
and im 6 months. And I do eat way too
much salt I always have. Someone needs to
hide it from me lol. And my doc told me
today to start drinking like 8 glasses of
water a day so that is my plan.To drink
nothin but water and milk and absolutely
no salt!! That way ill see if it helps by
the time my next visit comes around.
Thanks though. Im jealous lol u only
gained 4 lbs! Grrrr lol j/k ~ erica.

Lol hey dont be jealous!!! I puked and my
stomach hurt for a long time! Its really
not worth it!
Try eating alot better and with more
fluids! More water for you missy! Also
walk more and that should help. When I
was on jordans butt for gaining too much
and she ate healthier, she only gained 1
pound! Now that is good! Lol.
What you should do is snack on healthy
things throughout the day. Like 5 times a
day, but small simple things, that way you
dont over eat 3 times a day. Good
luck!!!
And drink your water!

I am gonna start tommorrow! I am gonna
right down how I ate for the day a record
my weight gain up until this point.
Hopefully i'll only gain a few lbs by next
visit which is 6-15 they have me coming in
3 weeks instead of 4 now. I know imma
gain a lil more though cuz of the baby
growing so I wont beat myself up. This is
sick but like at 2 a.M. I ate white
castle and went to bed like 10 minutes
after I was done. Yuck! Isnt that
terrible? I knew what I was doin was
wrong but I didnt care lol I was hungry.
So imma start 2morrow of fresh but as
goofy as it sounds I think I might need
you on my a s s too. Because it'll just
help motivate me more. I know everyone is
different , but when it comes to food, I
have a hard time choosing healthy. I just
need more encouragement. Thanks again
nikki! Btw? Do u plan on finding out the
sex of ur baby? ~ erica.

Lol I know I cant control myself. Today
was bad though . I was supposed to work
from 930-330 but instead ended up staying
till 630 and the last I ate was at 1200
cuz I brought my own food so from 1-630 I
lived off water and oreos I
know I know but I couldnt help it. Im not
gonnna slip though I seriously need to
chill out. I still have 3 more months to
go and can only imagine the weight im
gonna gain especially if im already @ 197
lbs. I have never been 200 lbs be4 but I
guess theres a 1st time for everthing u
better believe this is gonna be the last
time too. Jordan I wish I was in ur same
boat how ur stuck at 200 u prolly wont
gain much more considering u have such a
short time to go. Nikki! Ur gonna get an
u/s every 4 weeks??? Wow. I asked for
another one yesterday and they were like
unless u want a $200 dollar bill than ok I
was like 4get it so I wont get one till
like 36 weeks. I see the doc on the 15th
and that'll make me 30 weeks. I am so
excited too on june 5th ill be 7 months
and in my third trimester!! Woohoo lol.
So jordie, ya been gettin any braxton
hicks? Ive gotten em 3 times this week
for the 1st time and might I add they are
painful . Ttyl guys! ~ erica.

197!!! 
but I dont look it
how much more do ya think ill end up
gaining? Just gimmie and estimate. Im
