Pregnancy and Weight
Mar. 9th, 2022 02:07 pmCW: Weight gain, Weight loss
In a random urge to see what kind of weight I have gained during this pregnancy I came to a weird conclusion. I currently (34 weeks pregnancy) weight the same amount as I did when I went in for my first pregnancy appointment (9 weeks pregnant).
This is because in September and October I was so severely morning sick that I lost about 20 pounds. It was horrible I had days were I couldn't keep any solid food down. I would barely manage to choke down a smoothie or ensure and my vitamins. Thankfully I managed to keep myself hydrated enough to avoid the hospital. But I was prescribed anti-nausea meds just so I could keep small amounts of food in my stomach. It was really rough.
Thankfully the meds worked and my placenta finally stepped up and started helping out and I was able to stop using the medicine at the end of November.
My baby has been growing just fine throughout all of this. I know that this was one more thing that had me worries. But since I have put the weight back on, it has been going toward the baby/pregnancy rather then just me. I still have about 6 more weeks for this baby to cook and grow.
It has just been a very weird journey/realization.
