I have a few days until I'm officially in the second trimester club, but I too am so tired of eating!!! I have started drinking V8 Fusion for the fruits and veggies (I can't eat any veggie but tomatoes and avacadoes) and will probably soon begin drinking some yummy Ensure. Seriously, I feel full all the time...and the babies aren't any bigger than apples! Ugh. I am also not a huge meat eater, so peanut butter has become my best friend. I may never eat it again after these babies are born! :-)
I am on the heavy side anyhow, with my daughter (who will be 9 next month) I gained 80 pounds! I was always eating and figured I was pregnant I'll go ahead and have pie after dinner or whatever... I never lost 40 of those 80 lbs.!!
With the boys, I was paranoid to gain so much! I actually only gained 48 lbs with them.. I was always craving protein. I ate hard-boiled eggs, turkey, steak all the time! I didn't go crazy on dessert or chocolate! I have actually lost 58 lbs. since having the boys almost 2 years ago! And now chasing 2 toddlers around, maybe I'll lose the rest that I need to lose.
I think that if your doctor is not worried and your babies are growing - you are doing an excellent job!!!!

elizah~ it gets crazy how much you have to keep eating.....thanks for the ensure post ...i never thought of that ..and ive been looking for the new v8 fusion??? kroger never has it..im going to wally word today....well see
lanie~CONGRATTS!@#$% thats awsome weight loss after both pregnancies...and i too crave protein protein protein..no deserts for me either!! but i have been eating little pouches of brownies at night just to put a couple 100 calories on before i sleep............i have to hide them in my night stand so the dh and teenager dont get em first...lol
You're welcome! The V8 fusion is great...a serving of fruit and veggie in each glass. Other than guacamole that's just about the only veggie I get. :-)
I'm 30 weeks and I don't see how i could possibly eat anymore. I don't know where in the heck it would go. I think my stomach is the size of a grape now. EVERYTHING is SOOOO cramped.
I ate and ate and ate all of the time until I hit about 28 weeks. I just don't feel hungry. I still eat, of course. But not nearly what I ate before. I have to drink 3 High Protein Boosts a day (I have been since about 12 weeks) because the girls are identical and sharing one placenta. They've been preventing TTTS. Also I weighed 115 and I needed to gain more than 50 pds. Well, I just reached that. And the babies are Over 3 1/2 pds. each. Yeah!!
Hope everyone keeps doing great!!
Thanks 2girlsonthe way! I still have a long way to go! But, I do feel good about what I've done so far!
And way to go char4!!!! My boys are identical and also shared a placenta. For us they were of course worried about TTTS, but we were fortunate as well. Though, the dr. did say baby B (Paul) was always more robust than his brother! He still looks that way- but they have been similar weights since they turned one.
You are doing great! Keep growing those healthy girls!!!
