I took everyones advice and so my bf took
me to the doc...He answered many of my
questions, I didnt really like him to
much, I dont know I had a funny feeling,
maybe I was just nervous ...But he was
concerned bout one thing.....I am 5'6 and
only weight 113 pounds....Hes worried im
to small to carry the baby !
What should I do?
Oh sweetie, I know how you feel!! When I
found out I was pregnant with cheyenne I
was 5'7" and only weighed 103lbs! You
need to go on a healthy diet that helps
you gain weight! Eat alot of protein,
fiber and healthy carbs, you should be
eatting about 2300 calories a day now!!
If you need anymore help feel free to pm
me!!
Much love

Darling as long as you eat properly
throughout your pregnancy, (for example
2300 calories as jessika suggested) then
you should be perfectly fine. Theres some
great books out there on diet during
pregnancy that you can have a look at.
Also if you don't like your doctor I would
suggest finding a new one! I think its
important to feel at ease and comfortable
whilst with a doctor since you sometimes
have to tell them very personal
information. Just a thought!

Hey sweetie im glad you went to the
doctors! Dont worry like jess said she
was really small when she found out she
was pregnant too! Just start eating more
carbs and more protein and im pretty sure
that in a healthy pregnancy your supposed
to gain about 1/2 lb a week or something
like that so in your total pregnancy about
30lbs but in your case I think you might
wanna gain a lil more so you got some room
for that lil baby to grow! Good luck and
keep us posted! Much love and god
bless!

My friend had the same problem. The
doctor said she was not gaining enough
weight. Now I know this sounds really
funny, but this is what he told her to do.
He told her to eat slim fast bars and
drink slim fast with her meals. I know
slim fast is supposed ti help you lose
weight, but supposedly there is so many
carbs in it, if you dont follow the slim
fast diet to the t, you will actually gain
weight. It worked for her. Lol. Her
baby was born may 5th, 2003, and now shes
back down to a size 2 (although she used
to be a 0, she looks great!) and shes
hooked on slim fast bars. Lol. Well,
hope this helps. Maybe you could ask your
doctor about it? Ttyl.

I think that you are going to be fine, it
is basically what you eat, and how to take
care of yourself. Sometimes doctors
really are quacks. They always say that
we have to be a certain size to do things,
which isnt right because everyone can do
anything that they set there minds to. Be
independant, and just take care of
yourself...And that baby!!!
!
What should I do?
