Hi,
Has anyone started showing or gaining weight? I am slightly on the plump side. I seem to have put on 1/2 to 1kg in the past 11 weeks.
Nausea/vomiting & tiredness continues...
:) Sunshine Preeti replied. Hello hello... I am in the 24th week. Nov. will mark the end of the 6th month.. Am somehow more comfortable talking in terms of months.. Anyway.. I am 5ft and 6 inches tall, and started at 67 kgs. I now weigh 75kgs. As far as i know, I am pretty careful about what I eat. My diet goes likes this:
Morning (7am): A handful of dry fruits and a mug-full of warm water
Morning (730am): Coffee.. filter kaapi, actually or tea sometimes
Go for Yoga from 8 to 9 am, 3 days a week. I walk down to the class. Find it extremely refreshing.
Morning (9:30am): A bowl of oats porridge in milk and water, and 2 -3 slices of brown bread with butter/jam/ herbs seasoning
Start preps for my office dabba, while is quite a lot actually. You' ll soon see. :D

My dabba comprises:
12:30pm: 1 bottle of soup- doodhi, tomato, carot, beans (in various combos) or palak soup
For lunch @1-1:15pm: 2-3 chapatis & some bhaaji, else rice and dal or sambar/ rajma/ whatever

5-6pm or while returning home by train : 2-3 fruits: Sweet lime, orange, apple, pomegranates- whatever is available actually

In office I have stacked up on dry fruits like anjeer, kaju, almond- for a mid-meal snack (4-4:30pm)

So my biggest problem is you know what?? ...Carrying all this food to office daily!

7 pm: Coffee or tea- 1 mug with very little munchies (this is not a must, but sometimes I like something to go with my beverage)

9-9:30 pm: Dinner is 2 rotis, lots of subji and some dal or rice. Sometimes dosa and very rarely we order frm ouside.

10:30-11pm: My favourite- hot milk with some chocolate flavour milk product. I look forwrd to this from evening itself!

I harly deviate from this food plan.. like may be once in 2 weeks the husbnd and me go out for dinner, and then too I don' t behave like I haven' t seen food in ages.
Now coming to the point of weight gain:
So,I have gained 8 kgs in 6 months... quite lot i think. But with such a diet, I guess it cannot be helped. I am doing everthing right, as far as I can help it. I have a bigger frame and structure, so does my mom- it' s called genetics! So i have stopped bothering (too much) about the weight gain, and concentrate more on getting the right kind of food. I guess will have to work out a weight management programme once my baby is out and am done with the feeding. Will have to take it as it comes. Any views/ suggestions anyone? Bhav replied. Hi Sunshine,

So far, have just added a couple of pounds. For my nausea, I got a huge relief from eating salted crackers ( specially in the mornings) and sucking on raw ginger.Tiredness continues :(
