If you don't eat regularly your body goes into starvation mode, so when you do eat your body stores everything you eat so therefore you can get fat anyways from eating like that. Its best to eat several small meals throughout the day.
I'm 30 weeks and I forget but its not that I'm worried if gaining weight I just eat when I feel hungry and trust me the farther u get in yor pregnancy the harder it will be to ignore those urges lol cuz now when I feel hungry I feel STARVING lol plus if I don't eat I get shaky and dizzy plus baby will take everything it needs from u just make sure your eating healthy and I'm sure your fine
I gained 100 lbs with my first..40 of it was water baby weighed 7.8 plus amniotic sac...but my dr never mentioned anything about my weight gain...
I am 19 weeks and.i forget to eat all the time. I feed my 2 year old and then while she is eating i clean and forget to eat myself. The baby will take everything they need from you though.
Im 17 weeks as well and I do the same thing. Im afraid to gain weight to. I do forget to eat but most of the time im just not hungary. Ive only gained 2 lbs so far. Im kinda worried as well.
Your body is going to know how much to gain. But I am 39 weeks tomorrow and forget to eat sometimes. As long as you are eatting healthy things and not junk food then you don't need to be concerned about gaining to much. And your Dr will tell you if he is concerned you are gaining to much but at the same thing to little.
