Hi, I' m so hungry all the time. At in every two hours I have to eat, that too little heavy food, otherwise i feel nauseated. Light foods like fruits, crackers aren' t working with me. I have to eat something heavy. I have also gained 8lb since my conception and I' m in my 11th week.
I' m worrying I' ll be gaining a lot of weight with this pregnancy.
What are some feeling food that I can take and no gain so much weight. I' m already on fat free diet. Jichi replied. Hey....just now i posted a query in the Sep board......i am feeling the same......infact too much - that is what i have felt. all i eat is cereals, fruits, water, bread, crackers, rice, but still i really want something else....and moreover i am in my 9th week only.....its strange... vidhi replied. hi soma,

Dolly replied. Well 8lb in the 11th week is a bit more however i still wud like to advise go slow with the wieght gain. Ur placenta is just formed and next week onwards only ur baby is gonig to feed on food u intake, hence all the weight gain at the moment is ur and not the baby' s.
I too feel hungry for homemade food rather than the shelf packs, they jsut don' t satisfy me that much. Good u have opted for low fat options, continue doing so as it is wise.
Good to eat heavy food but don' t stuff ur self all teh time, have more fluids and even the heavy food shud be low in calories. Avoid fried, instead go for raosted and boiled. If u feel like having hot and a bit spicy food as i do, opt for soups, tomato or spinach, they are very nutritious and will sure help ur baby grow healthy.
