Thank you, thank you. I never thought I'd be excited about gaining weight, but okay. Now, does anyone have suggestions on "energy" foods?

I have always found nuts to be a good "energy" food for me. A handful of walnuts, cashews or peanuts is great - full of good fats.

You shouldn't worry so much. I didn't gain much at first--at my 20 week check, I'd only gained four pounds. At my 24 week check, I'd packed on NINE pounds in a MONTH! wacko.gif I didn't change my eating habits or anything, so I'm not sure why I gained so much!! I'm up to +21 pounds now, and it's going up. Slow in the beginning does not mean you won't gain.

My dr. wasn't the least bit worried with my slow gain in the beginning, and because it was slow at first, he's not worried now that I'm packing the pounds on. He doesn't want me to gain more than 35 pounds, but I still have some breathing room for that. wink.gif

As long as you're eating, your baby will be just fine--even if you fail to gain, baby won't!


For energy: try adding an ensure healthy moms drink or something like it. I, personally, prefer the protein shake that Curves sells, so I make one of those instead of drinking the ensure. I also like having sunflower seeds and raisins, honeydew melon, a glass of Ovaltine, or something else that's vitamin packed.

I was on weight watchers for a very logn time. It was the only way I could lose weight and REMEMBER to eat. Before I would go an entire day without eating because I would forget.

With this pregnancy I constantly have to remind myself to eat. I drink a slim fast optima or Ensure healthy mom for added vits and minerals. I also make it a point to eat whole wheat bread and pasta. I try to stay away from empty calories. I have the opposite problem. I have put on 48 pounds already.

I do wish you the best of luck. There are women that I work with that only put on 15 pounds their entire pregnancy.

I weighed in at a whopping 124.5, but that's in uniform and boots, minus my BDU top. So, I really don't know where my weight is. I'm thinking I'm probably around the same weight. This was only a "quick" check-up seeing how my Dr. wasn't in today.

I scheduled an U/S for Wednesday, 21 December. So, we'll see where my weight is, then, as well as what we're having. I'm pretty sure "it's" a boy, though.

don't worry so much on what your DR says as long as you are eating and not excersing you are fine. mine was the same way with me...allthough I did gain 35 pounds during my pregnancy...I found out I was pregnant at 12 weeks & at 12 weeks I only weighed 75 lbs which was down 8 lbs from where I normally was...i'm also only 4'11...the day i left the hospital 6 days after my c-section I weighed 91 lbs and a week before delivery I was 105-110 lbs and currently I am 86 lbs that's 14-19 pounds within 6 days of giving birth that I lost

Oh my goodness, you are teeny-weeny!

Yeah, I'm learning not to stress out about it, 'cause I've tried everything. I don't know, in a way, I wish I could work out, though. I sure could use that "good stress." Like some people need their caffeine, I NEED my endorphins.

Anyway, I know that the baby WILL get what he/she needs, I'm concerned about my body and it's healing process. I want to be back on the courts and fields ASAP, after giving birth.

Had a check up, today. I'm up to 120 lbs. That's 7 lbs so far. The HR was in the 150's, and I measured a little small at 17 cm. No worries, though, 'cause they said I have a tiny frame.

Guess the PB&J's and grilled cheeses are working!!!
