I only got my BFP this morning and already I'm scrutinising my stomach - crazy woman I am lol! I don't care though, I'm a really petite girl, but I do have a bit of a tummy already. If I put on weight, then so be it. Im sure it will all be worth it xxx

Hello there.. well i can relate, i battled an eating disorder for 12 years, and to this day still battle the thoughts and triggers. I just had my first beautiful baby girl on Nov. 8 2011 and she was a very healthy 8 lbs 5 oz!!! I'm sorry to tell you this, but i gained about 60 lbs in pregnancy. I am 5'7 and got pregnant once but miscarried because m body was so malnourished. From there I gained about 25 lbs and my pre pregnancy weight was about 148-150. My daughter is almost 5 months and i have only dropped about 30 lbs, but I have actually just started doing p90x, so hopefully it gets off quicker.

But I would suggest you STOP weighing yourself, my dr knew about my past and my eating disorder, and knew that I would gain more than the 30 lbs in pregnancy.. and as a matter of fact, i know over a dozen women who gained 50-80 lbs in pregnancy who never had an ED. Regardless of how much or how little you eat, your body will gain what it needs to produce a healthy baby, just EAT HELTHY.. dont eat junk food because then you are putting on bad fat that will be a pain to get off later.. Get someone supportive in your life, my husband is very encouraging and helps me to achieve my goal. I look at my beautiful baby girls face and would gain 100 lbs if i had to! It is ABSOLUTELY worth it, and you can always lose the weight!! Remember, your going from a girls body to a womans body, and i'll take my curves over my 12 year old boy body anyday!

yup just let the doctors weigh you every month. Eat healthy and whatever happens is meant to be. You will lose the weight after the baby is born... Enjoy it now
