Healthy?

Pregnancy books say that during the first trimester I should be gaining about 2 to 4 pounds...however, I've been feeling so nauseaus (sometimes vomiting) that I can't gain anything. I went to my mom's birthday party yesterday and saw family I've not seen in months. None of them now I'm pregnant except mom...and her sisters were surprised to see me losing more weight. I thought I should gain just a little more by now. I feel fat.

How am I feeling this week?
Energy: comes and goes
Mood: tired of being pregnant...I want the baby now already
Appetite: no appetite, sometimes hefty appetite when nausea goes away
Cravings: fruits, meats
Sickness: vomiting, nausea, dry nasal cavity, runny nose

Measurements
Weight: 141-143

I too, think its good to get all sides of a situation. HOWEVER! However, if all you concentrate on is the down side it's harder on you....emotionally and physically and its harder to get back to the glory of this wonderful little being growing inside you. Your baby needs you happy and healthy....not just food wise...so he (or she) can grow strong and healthy too!

It's extremely easy to get upset especially with the emotions pushed on by pregnancy....but you gotta sit down and really think about it. Write your feelings all out before you jump the gun. You might find that after its all on paper you may not be so upset or you'll be able to deal with it differently...healthier.

Im not comparing stories...cause we're all diff., but with my 2nd I lost weight too. Please talk with your dr if your concerned....about anything!!! ONLY you and your dr knows whats going on. Family and Friends are great to lean on but sometimes its a good idea to talk with someone non-bias. Plus the internet and all its preg websites is a forum and more people will post about things that didnt go well vs things that did.

Hope I didnt get too personal, if so let me know and I'll back off. Just concerned and want you to realize all the great things that are happening and will happen. Let me know if you need anything!!!
