I am staying strong at only gaining 5 lbs since the beginning of my pregnancy. I was really ill during my first three months...I will be 25 weeks tomorrow. My ob wants me to gain 5 lbs by my next vistit on 05102006. Maybe I will, but I dont' know how to eat anymore unles I get up during the night and eat a snack evertime I get up to pee. I think that you will be fine, if your doc hasn't shown any concern about your gaining.
How far along are you? Just wait until people start rubbing your belly. I really hate it when people just come up and start rubbing my belly. People asking how far along I am is no big deal, just don't touch.
