With my 1st 4 pregnancies, I ate whatever I wanted, whenver I wanted. Needless to say, I always gained 45 - 50 pounds with each one. With my last pregnancy, I tried to eat very healthy, lower carb. Just like LC-Laur, I kinda "lost" it in the end and ate whatever just to get thru. lol I ended up gaining 45 pounds. Not much different.
I am currently 11 wks, 5 days pregnant and have gained 2 pounds. Normally, I woulda already gained 7, so I'm doing pretty good so far. LOL The only big difference is that instead of eating 3 big meals and snacks in between, I am eating something every 2 hours or so. It works for me.
I would like to keep my weight under control because I tend to retain water after delivery. I look like I gained weight instead of just having a baby. KWIM?? I've read that keeping carbs under control, especially in the last few months, really helps keep water retention down. Also, once my milk comes in, I NEVER lose a pound 'til I'm done BF'ing. Stinks, but that's how my body works. So, I really don't wanna have to stay 40 pounds up for a year or so, if I can help it. LOL
