Hi Ammy and all,

I am doing fine and hope the same for you all. Sorry for not writing for so long. Although I read posts on this site almost everyday but was just lazy enough to write. Also I was a victim of mood swings for last few days, doing better now.

Well, welcome to all the new members on the board, I am sure you will enjoy your pregnancies while sharing concerns and emotions with others on this board :-)

Mihika, I am glad that u are feeling better and things are under control now. I am very happy for you. Just don’t exert urself that much again until 36 weeks.

Latest on my end is that I have started having cravings for sweet stuff lately. Before pregnancy I never used to like sweets that much and now it’s like after every meal I feel like eating something sweet. My DH is very nervous and cautious about it and keeps telling me to keep that in control for baby’s good. I don’t wanna be one asking about GD diet so girls, pl. advice what should I do to limit sweets.
About weight gain, I have finally gained 4 pounds in last 4 weeks, with a total of 7 lbs since second trimester. In first trim, I had actually lost 3 lbs. I am 23W2D and due on Jan 28th.

Take care all of you and I shall write more often now on.
Naina

I am doing good and so is the little one. I am 23W3D.
Mihika, good that you are going to be in India among all family members. It gets really hectic in India too if you are there for a vacation, so take all that easy for few weeks. Do update us after ur u/s on thursday.
Yeah, I am not holding myself from eating sweets but trying to keep that in a moderate quantities.
Ammy, I generally pile on carrot cakes, donuts, candies and cookies...I want to eat those motichur ke ladoo (fresh and bit warm ones) but don't get them here...

Take Care,
Naina


ammy replied. Hi Naina,
Nice to see your message after long time. How are you doing and how is your little one. In which week are you currently.
I could not belive myself that I have completed 30weeks. Feels like only few more days. My days are going fine. Just like you.. I hardly eat any sweets before pregnancy.. but now I always dream of sweets.. specially not the one prepared in house... I have carving only for Burfi's and peda's. But I have stopped having them as I have grown very fat and also have put lots of weight. If your weight is normal then don't hesitate to have the sweet..
So best of luck.. and enjoy your pregnancy.

I am fine and have doc's appointment on thursday and this saturday i will be flying back to india. I am taking complete rest now with hubby dear managing his tight schedule with housework. The days r really very very hectic. Hope everything passes away with time.

About ur cravings for sweets do not hold back urself. Have sweets if u feel like but in moderation.

That's all will write back later.
