Ashley - November 19

Hi, i'm only 6wks along and I haven't had any sickness yet. But my appet_te has decreased. I get full faster and I'm not eating as much. I'm also eating alot healthier than I was before pregnancy but I"ve noticed that I've already gained 8lbs. I'm a bit overweight as it is and don't want to gain any unneccesary weight. What can I do?

Nothing. Just eat normally. I gained a lot in the beginning too and it was all water. I had the flu in my 3rd month and lost a good 5 pounds over night. So it just goes to show you...it's mostly water!

Thanks no name-I don't want to become more of a fatty just because i'm having a baby. I want to gain what I need to for the baby and not much more. I have a horrible time taking weight off. I was getting worried since its soo early.

It's weird when you're pregnant, even if you eat the same your body prepares for a baby and you gain weight. It's possible you did gain a lot fast, but don't worry, and don't depend on sickness to keep you from eating.Eating is important. I also gained fast early, but as soon as it happened I started excercising. All you need to do is walk a few miles a day.This can be hard. Do you have a store that far away? If so make a list of things to get and only get one item a day. I immediately noticed a slow in weight gain by just walking a few miles. You can do it and your baby will thank you.

Don't forget that ome of that weight is for different things...I gained 2 bra sizes in my first 6 weeks, and I would guess that added a few pounds :)
