Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
Well, I go through days where I'm ravenous and days that I'm just normal hungry and days that I'm not hungry at all...but I'd say most days I am normal hungry (like before pg...especially in the weeks 25 -to now, 30 weeks...I didn't really gain weight in the last 5 weeks).
On the ravenous days, I eat, but try to make healthy choices and limit sugar...lots of veggies and fiber to fill me up. I've still gained I'm sure more than baby weight... 17lbs so far...but I'm hoping it stays under 30lbs!!

thats so great! You gained 17lbs and you are 30 weeks!!!!
I was eating lots of fruits, and than realized that they have so much sugar and I am probably gaining from them!! What kinds of veggies do you eat?

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
I have days like this too especially afternoons at work and around 20 weeks, it was bad but it has tapered off a bit. I usually try to space out small snacks, like 1-2 hrs after lunch have an apple, another 1-2 hrs a granola bar and then if im still starving maybe a bag of soy chips or 100 cal pack of hostess cupcakes.

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
I ate almost every two hours during parts of my pregnancy. I had no choice - if I didn't I would get so nauseous.
Try to eat healthy things (fruit was a big thing for me) -- I still gained around 45lbs though - but don't worry it will come off. One week after I had the baby I already lost 25lbs.

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
It seems like everything you ate was healthy, I wouldn't worry about it. Your going to feel hungry, it's only really bad if you use it as an excuse to eat a ton of junk food.

I like to keep raw veggies (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli & celery) in the fridge and snack on them if I'm hungry...but I will eat them w/full fat dressing, but I just eat a few. Thats always good to curb my appetitte and fill me a little before dinner.
I'd say mostly its just a balancing act, making sure most of my food choices count for some nutrition. But I do allow myself something sweet every night. If I eat too much dessert (chocolate!) I'll watch what I eat the whole next day. Or if I eat very un-balanced one day, the next day I make sure I eat perfect. Last week I worked out 3x and that helps a lot too.

Wait - you posted this at 6pm and this is what you have eaten all day? I don't think that is alot at all! Cereal, a peach, some grapes and a sandwich - sounds fine to me, even light! Am I missing something?
I think as long as you are eating healthy you shouldn't worry about it too much. Everyone's body is different. At my 31 week visit I had gained about 20lbs -and I was a normal weight to begin with and in good shape- I exercise and eat healthy but, if I am hungry - I eat - because its obviously what the baby needs!

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
Don't worry so much about how much you are gaining - unless your doctor is concerned! Eat when you need to eat, and try not to compare your eating habits now to your eating habits before pregnancy.
Remember - your body is working really hard right now - creating life is tough work! You need to eat when you're hungry to help your body keep up with it's new workload!

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
honestly, i wouldn't care too much about the quantity you're eating - i would focus on the quality.
my policy is, i eat whenever i'm hungry. some days it's like pre-pregnancy, other days i eat enough to feed an elephant. lately i've been having lots of elephant days, so i am thinking that a growth spurt is right around the corner... i just make sure it's decently healthy stuff that i'm eating. i am 27 weeks and i am up about 10-11 pounds.

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
I guess its just my body than
My dr. isn't concerned, and said because i was under weight, its normal for me to gain more. I just really want to balance and gain as much weight as baby needs but no more.
I am just concerned if I already gained 16lbs and am only 20 weeks.. how much more will i gain?!?!

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
Well, I've gained about 16 pounds in 20 weeks. My doctor thought this was fine overall. I did have a weight jump one week, but overall, she thought the amount I'm gaining is fine.
Last week, I wanted to eat constantly. I was like a bottomless pit, plus I was having strong cravings for ice cream and cheese. I decided maybe I needed more calcium and was trying to eat more yogurt and milk instead. This week, I'm not so terribly hungry, it's kind of normal. Generally, I will try to eat things that have protein or fiber when I'm hungry, but it's not always possible to eat as well as I'd like.
It is frustrating at times though--eventhough I know I should be gaining weight, it's still hard. I think the light exercise bothers me even more. I used to be very active physically, and I just can't do the same things I used to. Oh well, eventually I'll be back to normal, and it's all for a very good reason!

Re: How do you stop yourself from eating all the time?
I'm 30 weeks and have gained 18lbs. so far...I haven't had too many cravings, but there are definitely days when I have my guilty pleasures...I find that most of the time I can only eat moderate portions and have to be careful what I eat bc otherwise I get heartburn and heavy stomach and I don't like to feel like blah...so I just be careful what I eat and eat in moderation.

I totally agree, I have eaten more than you by the time I finish lunch and I will eat more before dinner.
I think you shouldnt worry so much about the qty you are eating or even the weight gain but think about the type of nutrition you are giving your little one!
