Hi All,

I have few questions for for all you in Feb 2008 due date club.

1. I am 10 weeks pregnant, haven' t gained any pounds as yet. I feel heavy & weigh 1-2 pounds extra after dinner/lunch. But then y next morning I weigh the same. I know it is said, the weight gain in first trimester is not a concern as long as growth of the baby s fine. Still wanted to check with all you friends. Has anyone gained weight as yet??

2. Howz your diet..I do feel more hungry, my intake has increased.

1. Morning 7.30 a glass of milk
2. 9.30-10 am breakfast
3. 12.30-1 lunch like chapati, sabzi, rice, sambar/dal, curds etc
4. 4.30 friuts/juice
5. 7.00 munch if I am hungry
6. 9.00 dinner like chapati, sabzi, rice, sambar/dal, curds etc

When I checked jan 2008 duedate club, i felt their diet is much better & more frequent meal than mine. Howz your diet??



3. Do you take a afternoon nap daily. My nap never lasts for less than 1 hr...but if I sleep for 1 hr, I tend to get up more in midnight. Either dont feel sleepy or get up suddenly in midnight etc. does anyone has same problem?



4. How abt exercise? anyone doing excercise?? I was feeling very tired till the llast week. But now I am feeling better, so started abt half mile walk per day. If any day I am feeling tired i skip walking.
How many days per week the excercise is required?? Anyone doing yoga etc??

Pls do share your thoughts

This is your first pregnancy, right? I can see that from your concerns. As a second time mother, I can tell you that \" don' t worry. Everything will be fine\" .
I didn' t gain any weight in my first trimister (during my first pregnancy). Infact, I lost couple of punds b' coz of nausea. But I gained overall 35lbs in my pregnancy and my son was born healthy with 7.5lbs.
Now, its different ofcourse. I did gain 2lbs sofar but my diet is not regular like you could put. This time, I am actually worried that I might gain more this time.
Coming to exercises, I am going for 30min walk atleast 4,5days a week. I feel good and tired after the walk which helps me to sleep better. As I am working, I can' t sleep in the afternoon.
Bottom line, it doesn' t matter. Stay positive, eat healthy, try to be active (till the end of pregnancy) and listen to your body.
