It's such a shame that you're being scolded for it! I've been trying to include as many "add ons" as I can on almost everything I eat. That chicken sandwich? I add a hefty serving of mayo, cheese, and avocado if I have it handy. Milkshakes don't sound like a bad idea! I've been a dieter and struggled with my weight all my life, so I'm trying to do the opposite of what I do when I'm dieting (without eating too many processed/fast foods). I don't know if that helps you at all, but I hope it does! You can do it, Amber!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132244688635245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048254938161958788.post-55425523221423334032012-06-28T08:34:39.732-07:002012-06-28T08:34:39.732-07:00I haven't read much about pregnancy and weight...I haven't read much about pregnancy and weight gain, but I do know some people just don't get much at all and then end up with a very healthy pregnancy and babies. Sort of bothered that she made you feel so terrible over that. Might be worth it to chat with a midwife or someone that could give you a second opinion?Eva Carperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723542790446665340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048254938161958788.post-32872799081780836422012-06-27T07:20:30.100-07:002012-06-27T07:20:30.100-07:00I am a (mostly) recovered anorexic and I have hone...I am a (mostly) recovered anorexic and I have honestly spent the last five years of my life force feeding myself, eating when I'm not hungry, eating to the point of feeling sick, getting up in the middle of the night just to eat, etc. It sucks, but it is what you have to do to gain weight when your weight is steady a a certain point. I had to gain 20 lbs before I could even TRY to get pregnant, and it was horrible. Now that I am pregnant (with twins) I am still constantly eating when I don't want to and what I don't want to in order to gain what I am supposed to. I say I am "mostly" recovered because I feel horrible about it all the time. There is always a voice in my head telling me how bad this is and how fat I am. But the other option is the voice telling me I'm not doing everything I can for the babies. :-/ I am in no way at all whatsoever implying that you aren't doing all you can, I completely understand how you feel. I think it's really difficult for people with healthy eating pasts to comprehend what is necessary to gain when your weight is at a set point. Nutritionist will help you, supplements are the easiest way to do it, eating in the middle of the night (yogurt, milk) helps too. It is hard but you can do it, it just will require all of those things you say you don't want to do (with the exception of processed or fast food, you definitely don't need to do that). <br />GOOD LUCK. You are a great mom already, don't let anything make you think otherwise!Alliehttp://www.blondemombitions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048254938161958788.post-80371142696483225232012-06-27T05:50:43.820-07:002012-06-27T05:50:43.820-07:00Argh.

I'm waiting to see if I get the same speech at my next appointment although I have to be honest, I too don't know what else to do to make myself eat more food! In what possible universe is it better for me and my child to switch my diet over to all fast food all the time? I'm trying to increase my portion size and add a protein shake or bar at least once a day and we'll see if that works. Good luck!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456928849826400461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048254938161958788.post-25113832145401956552012-06-26T18:55:20.528-07:002012-06-26T18:55:20.528-07:00Hey there- I've come across recommendations to...Hey there- I've come across recommendations to 'sneak' fats and calories in to food you are already eating. Use whole milk instead of skim, put butter in meals, pour packets of powdered milk in your foods, drink ensure shakes. I'm sure increasing the volume of food you are eating doesn't sound fun.. hopefully the nutritionist can help you get creative!Mrs. Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07088066758547326687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048254938161958788.post-364134215114166392012-06-26T17:53:32.020-07:002012-06-26T17:53:32.020-07:00That is one cute bump!!

Sorry about the food lecture. I know everyone says they would love to have the problem of having to eat more, but I'm sure it is just as stressful as those who are afraid they are gaining too much. Maybe the babies were just hitting a little growth spurt using up all your extra calories over the last couple of weeks.Mrs. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796890477396571476noreply@blogger.com
