I have been eating no different than i did
before i was pregnant. At my 3 months
visit i only gained 1 pound. I was quite
surprised, but was really happy. I know
it's going to go up more, but i am heavy
to begin with so this was great news for
me. Every woman is different.

Yup, drink lots and lots of water. When
.I craved sweets I made fruit smoothies in
my magic bullet. Use ice, whatever fruit
you like (frozen strawberries and banana
was my fav) and juice. You can use milk
if you want it richer. You can also blend
up non fat yogurt with ice to make a
yogurt smoothie. It's healthy and better
for you than cookies or my personal fav.
ice cream!!!
A lot of people get into the mind set that
they are eating for 2. Yes, you need to
eat healthy and nutritious meals, but not
more than you normally would.

I am kind of in the same boat I am 8 weeks
preggers and have gained about 3-4lbs, and
I honest to god have not changed my eating
habits. If anything my change was for more
fruits and veggies and more health
conscious choices. By no means do I feel I
am eating for 2.
My pants already dont fit, cant do up the
top buttons anyways.
Any suggestions as to why, is it water
gain??

you will put on a lot of water weight
because of your increased blood supply,
which can also account for some of your
extra weight, plus there's a baby in
there!! your uterus will already be
growing. ah, i can't believe how big my
tummy is now, i remember just feeling
around when it was tennis ball size, then
grapfruit size lol. now i feel like i
swallowed a beach ball!

yeah... i do like to poke arround to feel
my tummy, i'm about a grapefruit.. Well i
guess as long as i really watch what i eat
and try not to give into the cravings too
often, then i'll be ok. Unless my Dr. says
something.
