UGGG!   please tell me others of you feel like your are blowing up like balloons!  I didn't gain any thing (because of morning sickness) for the first 4 months....   then wam bam....  7lbs by month 5.   who knows what i've gained now.... (week 22) This is my first pregnancy, and I'm feeling a little emotional about this.....  I'm am no skinny minnie anyways, nor am i huge.    Nor have i EVER been fixated on weight....   Uggg..  Talk to me girls....

First of all, Fat, is not a great word, I like what the other girls were calling themselves on previous message, Fluffy, and Chunky Monkey. That sounds better.. If this is your 1st pregnancy, then relax, More than likely the weight will come off easier than you think, Try to eat in moderation, drinks lots of water, and enjoy your pregnancy.. If you are going to nurse it will come off quicker, thats a plus.. I nursed all 5 of my kids, all my weight came off, except for my last one, and my first one.. well it did come off, then I was stressed and it came back,

Try to relax, we are waiting till summer to get pregnant again, we had 3 miscarriages this past yr. so we are waiting, stress, self-employed, moving, 5 kids, taking a break for now... anyway, Stop, Breathe, and enjoy, If your feeling sad, talk to your baby, he or she, is there just waiting for some love
