I am a little overweight and 11w4d pg. I went to my dr yesterday and she only wants me to gain 18-20 lbs. She told me to only drink water and eat a low-carb diet. I thought you were suppose to eat ceareals and wholegrains? Anybody have suggestions on good low-carb meals or know where I can find them?

A low carb diet is safe during preganacy. My midwife even recommended it to me as well. I would consult your Dr about what would be appropriate. I used a reduced carb diet, and I limited how much carb I ate. I started having one serving of bread with breakfast, I started eating more salads, and fruits, and limited my liquids to one gla__s of milk per day, one gla__s of OJ per day, and drank plenty of water. Do an online search for low carb meals, I'm sure you'll have great luck finding some great recipes. Also try Lean Cuisine frozen meals, some of those are great low carb meals that include whole grains. Good Luck : )
