8 weeks pregnant
[/FONT][FONT=System]I am pregnant and was an active low carber since my previous pregnancy...I'd gained 50 lbs and managed to lose 60...I worked out daily and felt great about my weight. 8 weeks ago I weighed 116 pounds. I am now 120 no big deal...I'm really not worried about that. My energy level has gone way down and I am having to take Diclectin for nausea...non-stop. I don't have a problem with that either. I was on for my first pregnancy and had a healthy baby girl. My problem really is that I am hungry all the time...but I feel sick all the time and carbs seem to be the only thing that make me feel better...until the nausea hits again. I know that I shouldn't deprive myself...and I don't. I eat brown rice (1/2 cup serving) or multigrain toast or bagels. I am so worried about gaining 50 pounds again. Is there anything anyone could suggest...any reading materials out there for pregnant women and lowcarb lifestyles...I do mostly eat well but I am worried about gaining out of control again...I'm going back to my yoga classes and the treadmill slowly. In fact I'm heading to the gym later today to get some form of exercise in.
Any advice would be appreciated!
