Eat healthy snacks through out the day! And honestly, don't stress about the weight gain. I had morning sickness pretty much all 40 weeks so I struggled to gain weight properly. It sucked.
ALL I wanted during my pregnancy was pizza and cake lol and I pretty much had pizza ATLEAST once a week everyweek and I had a 7lb baby so I don't think you have to change your diet much, eat away! =P~
Eating is good lol I ate a ton of ice cream all 3 pregnancies lol along with healthy snacks high in protein. I ate cheese yogurt lean meats. But I ate junk food too. I am 5'1" and my last baby was 7.2lbs so I wouldn't worry
I don't think it makes a difference...I mean obviously if your sugar test is high and you get gestational diabetes then you'd have to watch what you eat. Both My kids were under 7 1/2 lbs...and I ate normal, occasionally giving into cravings. Also, most the time cravings go away later in pregnancy and you can't decide what you want anymore...I skip eating sometimes bc I don't know what I want...or am too tired to cook. Lol! I work full time have two kids and my fiance works second shift so I get home, get the kids bathed, do a load of wash, and just want to plop on the couch, not eat...
i agree with sehra4177, I had gestational diabetes and kept to the diet. I was also eating really healthy throughout my entire pregnancy because i didnt want to gain too much weight. I only gained about 25 pounds but my baby was still 8lbs, 15oz and i had to have a c-section. so, it seems you cannot actually control the size of the baby. just don't over do it- splurge a little!
I ate whatever I wanted both pregnancies, my diet outside my main meals was terrible, but I just HAD to have it lol Both my babies were 8lb 2oz I gained 25lb and lost that within 2 weeks of having my babies. My pregnancies were both very similar
@sehra4177 if i skipped a meal or even waited a good half of an hour of eating my stomach would start to hurt so so much, it's like my kid is already picky and the kid's not here yet lol.
Try eating healthy, and don't even worry about the baby's weight just like everyone say the baby won't gain much It's u that's gaining weight, so grub whatever Ur craving:)
@Reneerose0828 There's a history of diabetes in my family coming from my mothers side. Along with alot of other illnesses so i've been caution and a little worried about that and if it'll pass on to me. So I can see that would me a major stress for you even more while pregnant. Good to know everything worked out great for you.
@ArmahanisMommy Oh my gosh 9Pounds 20inches wow his eyes were open, alert and screaming right at birth? He's pretty advanced for his age. Have you been a Pregly memeber since your son was born? That would be a long time! :-D
