My first belly photo :)
I feel like my stomach grew overnight. Although I could see a difference in my belly before, not many others could and then BOOM everyone started commenting on how I'm showing and people have been touching my belly since.
We get to go in for our ultrasound next Friday and we're hoping we can get an early prediction on the gender. I'm a little nervous for this appointment though. At my last appointment my doctor told me I had lost weight. She said she wasn't concerned yet, but that I needed to focus on gaining it. I figured I had lost weight because I was so sick at first and could hardly eat, but I feel like I've been doing so much better ever since. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner; I eat small snacks every 2-3 hours, I really don't know what else I could do. With this mindset I hopped on the scale a couple days ago and have only gained one pound out of the few that I lost :(
I feel healthy, and by looking at my belly our baby is clearly growing, so should I be worried? I'm not sure. So I'm a little nervous for our appointment.
Do any of you moms have suggestions for gaining healthy weight? Did you have this problem, and should I be worried? Any tips would be much appreciated :)
I wouldn't be worried. As long as you are doing what you can, which it sound like you are, you should be ok. This early on lots of mommies loose weight. I only gained 17 pounds with my first and I was eating all the time. So unless your doctor is concerned and tells you such I wouldn't worry. But I know its hard!!
ReplyDeleteThanks nurse ;) it is hard not to worry that I'm doing something wrong, but I'll keep doing what I've been doing and we'll see what the doc says next Friday.
