I'm right there with you! Nothing "healthy" sounds very good and the only way to keep the nausea at bay is by almost constantly munching on something. I'm up about 3-4. My H tells me to work out (nicely) and I'm just like, I don't have the energy/don't want to when I feel nauseaus. Blah! 

I am in my "fat" jeans if you know what I mean and they are tight! Is this normal so soon!? I am not surprised with what I have been eating. Between yesterday and 11 am today I have eaten 8 cookies, 1 sleeve of saltines and ice cream. And yes if I just keep putting food in my mouth I don't feel nauseous. I am a fitness enthusiast so working out is a must for me but that is getting very hard to do! no energy I know what you mean!

I'm so sorry I agree with this.

I have friends that always said they "LOVED" being pregnant so I had high hopes this would be like living on a cloud! lol! Today it sucks but tomorrow will be different! We aren't telling till Christmas so I think if I could say "Im Pregnant I feel like crap" I wouldn't have to handle it by lying :/ I too agree with what you say by the light is when the baby gets here but today is not that day. ;) But it will be soon enough!

Maybe TMI, but there are times when I haven"t had a BM for a couple of days and am just really bloated and my pants are tight. Afterwards though I feel pretty good. My lbs are going to my thighs right now. Ugh! I was  fairly decent about working out before, but I just don't have the energy now. I also have a 3 year old and a 20 month old which makes it difficult in general. The nausea usually waned for me after the first trimester. And you do usualy get a little energy back. Just do what you can and try not to be too hard on yourself. You're making a BABY for goodness sakes! That's hard work. :)

O girl you just made me laugh! BM's are NEVER TMI in my house! LOL! And yes this could be it!  I can't believe you have a 3 yr old and a 20 month old! How do you do it!?? My dogs wear me out! 

On another note my H can't believe how much I sleep! If I have time, I take a nap at work! (I do hair) and I lay down after supper on the couch and in 5 I am asleep! And I am always up buy 530am. Right now I could use a nap. Eyes are very heavy

Your friends are lying to you. A lot of people don't want to admit that being pregnant sucks because they think it makes it seem as though they don't love their kid. Pregnancy is ugly and uncomfortable and most people are miserable the majority of the time.

I agree with this. I have always thought when women claim to love pregnancy..... they are lying or they aren't pregnant any more and have forgotten just how miserable they were. That tends to happen. You forget.

Wow, I am so glad you posted this. I was sobbing last night because I got up at 3 am, as I normally do, to pee. (That wasn't the part that made me cry, although I never had to do this pre-pregnancy so it is annoying.) No, I sobbed because this happened:

I also normally eat in the middle of the night because it helps with morning nausea and frankly, I'm often nauseous when I wake up to pee. I don't eat much, but obviously that's a whole meal I wasn't eating before. At first it was just crackers or chips, but I'm trying to ease up on the carbs, so I heated up a leftover chicken drumstick. (Okay, with a little pad thai.) Then I heard from the other room my DH: "What's going on?" He's a light sleeper now that we've moved because he's not comfortable in our new place yet.

When he found out I was eating, he gave me a speech about not gaining too much weight during pregnancy. His mother has been calling him, telling him all about how she only gained 3 lb when pregnant with him (he weighed 7 lb 8 oz) and Priscilla Presley only gained 9 lb when pregnant and that is how it should be and women really shoudn't let themselves go and get huge. (She also tells him that no woman gets so nauseous she needs to go to the hospital or stop working, and that Kate Middleton is just getting special treatment.)

Anyway, cue the sobbing. On top of being bloated, so nauseous I can't work (which I'm sure many think I'm faking or exaggerating), so exhausted I can't even go to Target, and terrified because I'm PGAL, I'm also expected to gain all of 15-20 lb at most and even then my MIL will tell my husband I'm a heifer. Pre-pregnancy I was only 110-112 lb, btw (I'm 4'11) and I have a fairly muscular frame, kind of like Hayden Panettiere.

UGH!

Oh it's disscussed on a regular basis here too. Just thought I would be discreet for certain ppl. :) Not quite sure how I do it.....one day at a time and as much naps as possible. My lil one takes 1 nap a day and I can sometimes convince my 3 yr old to nap with me, othersise I pop in a movie and we snuggle on the couch. :) Can't wait til they can feel the baby kick! They will get quite a "kick" out of it. If this is your first, seriously, take advantage of those naps!

I'm sorry but I am so angry at your husband for saying this. WHAT?!!! Do not listen to your husband. Just do what makes you feel better. Gosh this makes me so mad!

Yeah, I was mad too. I'm still mad. I'm also mad because I've gained around 8-10 lb so far and I know it's more than I was supposed to at this stage. He can't possibly relate to what it's like to feel like you can't eat anything but salty starchy junk, but you don't even want to eat that, but if you don't you will throw up, and repeat this scenario every 1-2 hours for 5 weeks.

By the way, I'm a Paleo fanatic and even have an anti-bread page on Facebook. So not only am I guilty for overeating, I'm guilty about what I'm eating. He's actually not Paleo or anti-bread, but knows I am and has decided I'm using pregnancy as a license to eat whatever I want (a phrase he stole straight from his witch of a mother's mouth).

What kind of protein bar do you eat? I'll pick some up.

Thank you so much, I'm trying to be forgiving and am actually looking forward to showing and looking pregnant. I think pregnant women are gorgeous. It's unfortunate I have to deal with my MIL planting ridiculous ideas in DH's head. Hopefully he sees things differently after discussing this matter with my OB at our next appointment and finding out how much weight women *actually* gain when they're not putting their own vanity ahead of their child's development. (Geez, hopefully my OB doesn't agree that I've gained too much weight.) 

Mind you, this woman left him alone in a Vegas casino (on the floor, not in a hotel room) for several hours when he was 8 so she could cavort about with her boyfriend.

Ok first of all your MIL needs to see DR. Phil. She did not only gain 3lbs. And I too get up at 3 am every night to pee but my eyes aren't open so I can't  see to go eat. I think when we eat and then go to sleep it isn't burned of as easily thats why diets always say don't eat after 6-7pm But if it helps than do it. And bring your H to this message board and he can read for himself how pregnancy "REALLY" goes.  I don't know the lingo here yet so PGAL? don't know what this means. Hang in there  I think everyone here is on your side! :)

"Clif Builders Bar" I like chocolate the best, though PB is good too. They have 20g of protien is each bar.

PGAL = pregnant after a loss.

Yesterday a friend told DH that the reason I'm nauseous is I'm just not eating enough fresh ginger. I pointed out that I have tried the ginger AND lemon cures and they only work for about 5 minutes, and that the friend who suggested it has never been pregnant so she doesn't even know what she's talking about.

I'm so freaking sick of everyone weighing in on what I'm doing wrong. I know it'll never stop but honestly people.

If DH was telling anyone how much weight I gained during pregnancy I would be beyond pissed and he would have some serious consequences. Who cares how much you gain? As long as you aren't eating unhealthy the whole 9 months then you will probably be fine.

Ditto. He hasn't told anyone how much weight I've gained or anything but it annoys me that he has an expectation.

Dude, your husband sounds like an **** lecturing you on weight gain. Seriously, not cool. Tell him next time he can grow the human being and you can lecture him on gaining weight. That is so out of line to me. What a d!ck.

I agree :)

His MIL has also convinced him that it's not good for the baby if I gain the "normal" amount of weight. (Remember, to her the "normal" 25-30 lb weight gain is outrageous.) Should I say anything to her or just let it go?

Dude, your husband sounds like an **** lecturing you on weight gain. Seriously, not cool. Tell him next time he can grow the human being and you can lecture him on gaining weight. That is so out of line to me. What a d!ck.  

I agree :)

His MIL has also convinced him that it's not good for the baby if I gain the "normal" amount of weight. (Remember, to her the "normal" 25-30 lb weight gain is outrageous.) Should I say anything to her or just let it go?
