Gained 7 lbs and almost 8 weeks

I really don't know why I've gained so much weight. My appetite has just started to pick up. OMG.

OMG lucky you!! You can Eat?? Lol I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and lost 15 pounds.  Sheesh. Me and food ate not good friends at all anymore Lol. But it could be water gain. Remember you should only be eating a extra 300 calories a day. And not really ganing too much in the first 13 weeks.

Try not to fret too much about it, talk to your doc but every woman is different. Eat healthy and smart and it will all work out :)

My doctor said or vascular systems are not as good as when we are in our 20s(I'm 38 and pregnant with my first child after almost 18 years-my 4th child)  that could be a reason for the obvious swelling.
