10 wks 2nd pregnancy

[lilmomma_uh2]

Ok.  So im on the bigger side and keep feeling like I'll never look pregnant. This is my 2nd pregnancy my son is almost 7 .  My doc. Also said bc im already on the "heavy side" she only wants me to gain 10-15 lbs. Ugh I feel like I have to diet while prego. so I  don't feel excited at all. I lost 5 lbs since I had a positive test in November but gained 1/2 lb by my 2nd ob appt. Any other full figure moms feel the same way?

Eat fresh veggies and fruits for snacks! I barely look pregnant too :/ I gained about ten pounds but I lost a bunch when I had morning sickness I'm just now getting a belly and I'm 27 weeks.

I like to think I hold my weight well lol! I'm pretty tall 5'9. With very long legs but a smaller abdomen. I just don't see how im not supposed to put on weight. I eat pretty healthy I don't eat a lot of fast food or anything i should exercise more that I know. I just want to enjoy this pregnancy and not feel like I have to watch every single thing I eat to keep my ob Happy.

On certain days i look preg on others just big too btw...if that makes sense and im five and a half months preg...i didnt look preg with my son til almost seven months hes six years old now

Im big too so that was my question and my ob said shes not giving me a number as long as im eating healthy...but over thanksgiving week i lost four pounds and she asked how was  that possible and i need to keep in mind im having a baby so i was confused because i could def lose some weight...

Yeah I gained 50lbs with my son. Was able to lose most of it but over the years slowly put it all back on.  I wish i would have lost like 30lbs before I got pregnant. Its just a terrible feeling. :(

I was told by my dr that it would be ok if I didn't put on any weight.  That it would be ok if I lost weight. Inn the first ttrimester I lost around 15lbs.  I'm in mu third now and have gained the 15 back plus another 15 or so.  I started to look and feel pregnant in my second trimester.  For me,  I really don't care about the numbers.  I gained 80lbs with my first pregnancy and was able to lose it all,  and my son was perfectly healthy.
