Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi, I can completely relate to your feelings. I am 10 weeks along with my 2nd child. When I was PG w/Isabella, I was 330 and gained 35lbs - 20 more than my doctor wanted me to!! This time around I was 250 when I got pg - just a note, I was 13 months out and had lost 125 lbs - this time. It is astounding to me how hungry I am almost ALL of the time, I eat every few hours and have, LITERALLY, been woken up in the middle of the night with hunger pains!! But here is the really shocking part - keeping in mind that I am famished for what feels like 90% of my day, I have lost 7 lbs in the last 4 weeks. I am a bit concerned over how much I am eating & I am so tired that I can barely get through the day without a nap. I am hopeful that I will continue to choose foods that are healthy for me and the baby - at the moment, I am confident that I will get through this pregnancy relatively unscathed...but, that can change at any minute...I am sure I will be writing again as soon as I have to start buying maternity clothes and " granny " underpants :0) I guess what I want to say is to definitely be aware of what you are putting in your mouth, BUT try to keep in mind that your body is burning so much energy making this baby that it needs those few extra calories to get through the day... When you are feeling especially vulnerable or 'fat' just jump on line and write...or call - if you need a sounding board, just let me know...I would certainly be willing to give you my number.
