Or at least that's what my weight chart looks like:
Well one of the many joys of pregnancy is the weight gain...so far I've gained about 18 lbs. (That dip in July was from morning sickness/flu.) This is on track I suppose, but the last 10 lbs have really come on quickly and I'm worried it will continue to speed up and I still have 10 weeks to go! It is so hard to get to the gym at the end of a long day, and the bigger this baby gets the less energy I have in the first place! And not snacking is NOT an option- it's as if an alien being is controlling me...and it knows its way to the pantry all too well. So anyone out there who has any suggestions is welcome to comment.

Don't worry about the weight. You loose it so fast! And you looked great pregnant with your boys so post some pics so I can be jealous of how gorgeous you are pregnant with your little lady.
I would say don't worry about the weight except I know how hard it is to gain weight and feel like your not in control of your own body. I gained 60 with Easton and hated every minute of it. A friend told me that taking ginger helps with morning sickness and fatigue AND helps stave off the munchies. I never ended up trying it, but I guess you could just take it in the form of a pill.
Thanks guys...I try not to worry but I gained 54lbs with BOTH boys and I'm just scared of it happening again- it really does feel like I can't control it. It sucks having to work off 35+ lbs after the actual baby/placenta etc weight is out- especially when I have to recover from the surgery before even thinking about exercise.
It takes a brave woman to post her weight chart online but I guess when you are as skinny as you its not that hard. I gained about 50 with each baby and I know it is not fun but I felt like my body just does what it is going to do and I have very little control over it- seriously- that sounds like an excuse but whether I was "good" in my eating habits or whether I was "bad" I put on the same amount of weight... so might as well be "bad" and enjoy it :)
I just noticed that I posted as Kevin but in case you couldnt tell from the comment- it was me- Melissa :)
I gained 50 lbs with my first 3 pregnancies and it didn't matter that they were all so different. I ate different, exercised different...With Maddie I looked huge and walked at least 2 miles every day and ate really well. I was on bedrest eating twinkies with Cheyenne and gained the same. I realized that my body just needed to gain that much. Except with Maddie it came off a lot faster...With this pregnancy I have gained 10 lbs when at this stage with Cheyenne I gained 23. I have no idea why I am smaller and gaining less weight with this one, but I can tell you it isn't because of more exercising or better eating:)I choose to just not worry about it and try to eat good meals and if I need to fulfill a craving I don't feel guilty about it.
