Pregnant and worried

I am 8 weeks pregnant and believe me when we found out we were totally excited. Being that I am 10 months post op and have lost about 100 pounds, I am now feeling some weight come back on.

I am so afraid of this and I am happy about the pregnancy, but I am depressed about the weight gain. Feels weird because I feel like I am eating more and I feel bad about it. But, if I don't eat, then I am hungry and get headaches.

I worked so hard to get this weight off and now I am afraid I am going to go back to what I was before.

Scared,
Marilyn

I don't have any advice other than you gotta roll with it and just make sure you are eating healthy.  Some women continue to lose weight when pg, some gain very little.  Right now just focus on getting the good stuff into you and your baby and don't feel bad! 

Chin up!

Try eating less but more often to hold off the headaches that may be coming from blood sugar dips.  There isn't always a need to eat more depending on your starting weight but as the poster above said, you must eat well nutritionally for the baby's needs and your won.  300 cals a day additional only equates to 1 piece of bread w/2slices of deli meat or 6 crackers with cheese/tunafish or 3oz chicken cut up into strips for snacking.   When you think you are probably eating a few crackers each morning to calm morning sickness you are probably half way there.  Don't panic, stress just creates more hormones which will hold water in your cells and make the scale creep higher.   Enjoy your pregnancy! 

I had those SAME exact thoughts.....and i felt TERRIBLE for even thinking that way!!! i am due in 18days and im STILL feeling that way.....so unfortunatly sum1 gave me that good lil advice of "u werent ready to have a baby because u wernt used to having ur new body yet to enjoy being pregnant" which REALLY made me think!!!! we are SOOO excited to be having this baby but its true...i wus JUST getting used to being a size 6....and now.....i feel as though ive balooned out into a size like 14 or so....i have to wear all XL sweats and it makes me alil depressed at times...BUT u have to remember.....if u just TRY to moderate ur intake ull be fine!! the one problem i DID run into wus my sugar levels are EXTREAMLY low throughout this whole pregnancy....cuz the baby is taking exactly what he needs and leaving me with nuthing...haha. double edged sword i suppose. i dont wanna over due it but then again u have to remember ur eating for 2.....i gained 40lbs....and trust me,....every apointment id get so angry seeing the numbers go up...lol but just think....after the baby u can go back to ur NORMAL routine and u will NOT have the excuse of the baby!! it takes ALOTTTTTTT of self control.....but dont obsess....i tried that for the first 2months an it got me no where! lol sooooo just eat what u want...ur body will tell u what it is lacking and what it wants/needs.....i didnt have ANY cravings so i must of been eating just the right amount of sweets....and good foods to even it all out....haha. This is an overall very exciting time...and although it is alil bitter sweet {losing weight and now gaining it} TRY to enjoy!! i did now that  its all over! haha. i swear these 9months FLEW by!!!! ull do great and if u have any issues or concerns email me!!! :) GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING
