sharon - June 5

at my last 2 week check, I had gained only 1/2 lb. I just had my 2 week check again, and I lost 3 lbs. I thought the last month is when I should be gaining 1 lb. a week. this is my 3rd child, I have a 18 yr and 15 yr. I am actually carring this baby better than my last two. I'm 39 years old and have gained a total of 20 lbs. I am presently 36 weeks pregnant. thanks

Hi Sharon, I was just wondering, did you watch your weight not to gain too much during this pregnancy? It sounds like you know what you are doing. Can you give me some good tips on what to eat and how often?? I'm 40 yrs old now and this is my first child, and I'm 20 weeks pregnant right now. If you have alittle time, please answer back, thanks.

Maureen, Like Sharon, I also have 2 older kids (almost 18 & 12 1/2). I didn't gain too much weight with my second by watching my diet, and not eating junk food. I decided to do this because I gained 52 pounds the 1st time (size 14 after his birth)and it was hard to get rid of it. (I really held on to most of it.) I believe my sucess the 2nd time is because I ate foods that were natural. I are whole grains and no processed foods or fast foods. I ate low fat foods (lots of vegetables), staying away from red meat entirely. My daughter was born very healthy and doesn't get sick much to this day. My whole family eats this way now. Hope this helps you. By the way, I now at the age of 42, wear a size 4 or 5 (Smaller than the 7 I started at when I was 20.)because of this and yoga. Good luck!
