So i was beginning to think that for some reason ur body knows when its pregnant it allows u to eat more....i know CRAZY! but it seems as though for the first 7.5 months i could eat EVERYTHING i wanted without getting sick and without feeling like i wus going to explode.....at my 8month...i can barely keep any food in my mouth without feeling like i wanna throw up. i dont have the urge to eat anything....and when i do its such a small amount that its really concerning me. They say NO slimfast and NO meal suppliments....but im starting to wonder how im going to get all my meals in.
Then there is the SLEEEPING aspect of this....lol i have officially moved my bed to an air matress {SO COMFORTABLE}....but for the last week my legs have been going numb in the middle of the night. Im constantly waking up and having to toss an turn...normal? First time baby so im not sure about any of this! lol please help!!

I am almost 34 weeks and have the SAME problem, I even gained 40 pounds so far but have stalled for over a month, which is great. I dont want to eat, the thought of food makes me sick and NOTHING sounds even remotely good. I had protein shakes yesterday and just drank alot of water. I been constipated but I guess I got things moving again and with that lost 3 pounds! If protein shakes or meal replacements work I say go for it, my doctor said that was fine anyways. Although I dont know how much you weigh I am overweight anyways and was only suppose to gain 25 pounds so he is happy that I cut back a little.

Good Luck!!

i dont know why different doctors have differnt rules for the same issues. my dr said NO to the meal suppliments....because of the additives and so on an so forth they put into it....which for me was ****Y cause my biggest worry was gaining all this weight back when i was just starting to get used to being thin!! {selfish i know!!} i gained 34lbs so far which they say is completely normal...and baby seems to be bigger than we expected...{we thought itd be small b/c u could barely tell i was pregnant till like a few weeks ago!! hahaha kinda looked like i wus just gaining weight} i only have alittle less then 5 weeks so i dont know why im stressing...i jus feel like im not nutritionally supplying the baby and that makes me nervous....but i guess not eating all that much isnt gonna hurt anyone.....THANK you!! :) good luck with the baby!!

The baby is probably on your pouch. Niko did this and I would literally spit up food...didn't feel nausious anymore, but it would it just come up.As for the numb legs, try propping some pillows behind your back while you lay on your side. Laying on your back, at your point in the pregnancy, can cut off blood flow of the veina cava....the main artery that provides blood to your extremities, as well as to the placenta. Other than that....you're pretty much in for it...That's why women are the stronger gender....hehe.
