Courtney,

I believe all your feelings are perfectly normal. I know some others will jump in and respond as I know the two other woman on here are pregnant and are close to you in weeks of pregnancy. I had my son 6 months ago now. But I can remember having those same feelings, the first 5 months were hard, I was afraid to eat to gain to much weight and I really wan't all that hungry. My family was so concerned that I wasn't gaining enough weight, I know my husband thought for sure there would be something wrong with the baby as he didn't feel I was getting enough nutrition but once I hit that 5 month period, WOOHOOOOO All of a sudden I could eat. I felt "normal" for once in my life. My appetite had increased greatly, I can remember being so proud that I could eat a whole taco and one whole hamburger. My sugar intake had also increased during my pregnancy. Your body knows what it is doing just make smart choices. I gained a total of about 35lbs my whole pregnancy even though I felt like I gained alot more because those last 4 months I was always hungry. I felt like such a pig all the time. I just made sure I ate smart and made the best choices for myself and the baby. I lost all my weight within the first 2 months. Now myself and husband which I was still pregnant so I could go back to eating so good, because my body went right back to before pregnancy and I can only eat 1/2 hamburger now. I miss those days of food

If you need to talk you can PM anytime. I remember being so scared during my pregnancy and thankfully I had Denise on here who helped me along the way. If you need anything just PM.

Good Luck! and Congrats

Renee
