The baby will gain weight even if you
don't. You need to eat HEALTHY. It is
nutrition the baby needs

Water is the best thing for you: most
people forget to drink as much as they
should, so if you are drinking a lot, keep
up the good work.
If you're just getting though nausea,
don't worry. You will start gaining.
Just eat when you are hungry. Your body
will tell you what you need.

I think a lot of it depends on the shape
you were in before you got pregnant.
As long as your eating healthy, Im sure
the baby is fine.

I just wanted to bring up something that I
thought of last night: diabetics often get
thirsty all the time. Are you diabetic
or.....I don't know if your doctor has
checked for maybe gestational diabetes?
I'm not saying that you have it, it's just
something that occurred to me. With how
much ice chips I eat every day, most
people would tell me I had PICA...or was
anemic. But I'm not. I have a perfect
12.0 on my hemoglobin level test.

You shouldn't put on that much weight,
Kira. This is about nutrition and what you
are eating that is healthy and good for
growing a tiny human. If you eat right,
you will gain weight.
Realistically, that fetus is going to take
from you regardless. Much like a parasite,
the fetus will get what it needs and leave
you lacking the necessary nutrition for
you. Which is why it is important to eat
right. You want to
function too.

you are doing just fine! dont think just
because you are pregnant you have to gain
40 lbs! a healthy weight gain is about 20
lbs and the majority of that will be
towards teh end of your 3rd trimester Just stay healthy
and you are good. A gf of mine is 40+
weeks (was due the other day) and has only
gained about 6+ lbs... but is carrying a
fullllly healthy little peanut and she has
quite a tummy!
