Extra 340 calories in 2nd trimester?!
Hey ladies im 13 weeks1 day today with my 3rd baby. I logged on today and the app tells me I should be eating an extra 340 calories per day for baby. I honestly dont see how this is possible at this point. With my first 2, I started feeling better and my appetite increased. This time.....food??? No thanks! Lol...Im literally forcing myself to eat anything and pretty sure im not even consuming the daily recommended ammount of calories for a non pregnant person. :( The only thing I can seem to eat much of is a chicken caesar salad from wendys every night but thats not a whole lot of calories. Are any of u ladies able to get that extra 340 calories into ur daily diet? And how?! :)
My cousin is based in AZ and he tells us not to talk to him about our crawfish boils lol. He always tries to take leave around this time of year to make it to at least one.
Sounds fun! And yummy! Lol thats a fun idea. Wish we did crawfish boils here in AZ lol
In East texas, crockett. Around here you have to throw your own crawfish boil. Which doesn't bother us one bit, we can make it as spicy as we want! We are thinking about doing a crawfish boil for our gender reveal. Just have family over eat and announce we are pregnant, then announce the gender lol!!
OMGSH!!! Ive been cravong crawfish sooo bad lately! I want some now...I ise to live in Baton Rouge,Louisiana so I got hooked. Where do u live watermelon15??
I live in Houston and we have crawfish boils all the time. But the season is almost over
Love me some breakfast food. Everything else has too much flavor or grease.... I really want some crawfish though! Everyone is having crawfish boils down here. :(
^^LOL THANKS!!! Good luck with that cereal!! I see ur on the breakfast hype right now :D
You get it girl! I have to start keeping a food journal, just reading it at the end of the day makes me sad. I had a biscuit, a couple bites of eggs, and a smoothie!! I'm fixing to attempt to eat some cereal...
^thnx! Now ive just gotta get down the regular 3 meals a day in order to work my way up to the extra 340 calories LOL...slSo far today, ive managed to eat 4 pieces of turkey bacon, a banana, and a piece of doughnut. Im pretty darn proud to say the least :D
Basically a glass of milk and a few TBS of peanut butter will give you the extra calories.
My husband doesnt have any sick/leave days built up until this summer either!! Lol were really trying to save them though because ifvwe hold off until baby is born, hell have almost 3 weeks of paid leave which WE NEED. I have a 4 year old and a 16 month old keeping me on my toes and its so hard keeping up with them by myself all day. I countdown until 12:30 everyday(NAPTIME!!) LOL @baby4leo, tylenol does 0 for me too :(....
Over a month. The things women go through to be mothers. I'm going to hate on men for a quick second and say they have it easy!
Same here I can't eat and when I do it is little bites then major heartburn. My head is splitting and Tylenol does nothing.. I feel like I am not giving my baby boy enough nutrition but the doctor's say the baby is good and strong but hard not to worry
The headaches are awful! I've had one for over a onto now, I don't know if it's fro. Not having enough fluids, just being sick, hormones or what. But I'm so tired of it.
My dr diagnosed me with hyperemesis gravidarum too. I started out real naseous the first 2 months. Then the past month I've been throwing up more regularly. I'm trying so hard to just hold down some food. I don't want to end up in the hospital. My husband won't have any sick days built up until this summer, so I won't have anyone to stay with my 2 year old. I feel bad for the women who have it worse than me. It's not fun! I'm not sure what that is wither, but I will pray it's something that can be cured or dealt with safely while pregnant!
I know im dreading this summer. Im more concerned about the 120 degree heat here :(.....and yes i had Hyperemesis gravidarum with my first 2, and was prescribed phenigran. However, My symptoms disappeared with both at 12 weeks. With this one, im not really vomiting, only super nauseated and exhausted with constant headaches. Im not really sure about gallbladder being an issue with me? Ive nvr had a problem with mine. I do however have to see a urologist soon because doc says my kidneys have an echogenicity???? Idk wth that means but guess ill find out :/ thnx ill be praying for u as well :)
I want lasagna, steak, shrimp, burgers, it will suck not being able to eat this summer. We bbq pretty much every weekend... I will pray for both if us to get past this stage. You have said before that you were real sick with a previous pregnancy too. Did they ever think it was your gallbladder? My dr wants to do an ultrasound on it and see if that's the problem.
LOL!!! TELL me about it! Im so sick of looking at amazing meals that I cant even manage to take a bite of. :( Lets hope were both singing a different tune by 3rd trimester :)
Maybe ill go pick up some smoothie stuff tonight. I hadnt really thought about those! Breakfast is by far the hardest meal to force down. Maybe ill ask for some diclegis too if it doesnt improve by my appt on the 23rd. Thanks for the advice! :))
I'm not even close to a non pregnant woman's calories either. I had my appointment yesterday and my dr gave me Diclegis, it helped a lot last night. I actually ate a toddler size plate! Which is a huge improvement. Try smoothies, they are full of nutrients and when you make your own you can add protein rich foods too. My dr said it will only become a concern if I lose over 10% of my body weight. So right now I'm fine. She also said eat whatever makes me full and doesn't make me sick. It's better to eat something than nothing.
