    I've had a major sweet tooth lately, but I try to substitute candy with fruit. I also made myself a trail mix and put some m&m's in it, but make sure I eat the nuts and dried fruit too!

    I had that problem too! I didn't gain that much that quickly but I ended up having gustational diabetes and can eat nothing now! So I don't know if the amount of junk you eat in the begining and how much you gain factors into that but I can tell you IT SUCKS!!! I feel like I can't eat anything! I have to poke my finger 4 times a day and I get NO sweets what so ever. My big treat now is a sugar free latte! So not to scare you but I would listen to the dr because no sweets no carbs sucks! And I almost always feel hungry and I pretty much just eat eggs! Like I said not to scare you but I wouldn't want you to end up on this sucky diet! Try to get more prot

  • calebsmommiecalebsmommie
    @steeny I'm a gestatinal diabetic also. did they send you to a nutrition class? I keep mine controlled w diet and exercise. I eat a lot of pb sandwiches w sugar free preserves. And sugar free Popsicles!

    @azmom love your way of thinking. I gained 66lbs with this little one. And he came into this world healthy and happy 6lbs 7ozs 3 wks ago. Oh and I've already lost 25lbs so tell that Dr to bite ya...lol keep what your eating with-in reason and ENJOY your pregnancy..... Don't fret babe. Xxxx
  • ethansmommy122ethansmommy122
    Lol everything is fine in moderation! I also have thyroid problems since i became preggo and they're still trying to regulate my meds, so i guess that could be part of the weight gain too..Oh well
  • ethansmommy122ethansmommy122
    @2ndbutfirst i love pineapple! :)
  • SteenySteeny
    @calebsmommie no they didn't! The nurse gave me a few pointers put I am still in my first week. I am getting good though. Although I have had a few fits I think I will be able to control it. I still haven't found sugar free popsicles. I was eating pretty poorly before so its kinda good I guess and sugar free jam is awesome! Although its not as sweet at least I can still eat my pbj!
  • sk8rmomma19sk8rmomma19
    My dr is sayin the same thing! And it makes me sadcuz I have a recent history of anorexia problems about a year b4 I got prego so being told that I'm basically gettign too fat worries me! I didn't eat as much as I should of b4 pregnancy and I excercised like crazy b4 which is why I think I've gained so much. I started at 130 and have gained 33 lbs at 33 weeks. Its not safe to skate anymore so I don't burn the cals like b4***I'm really glad to see I'm not the only one packin on the lbs! But I think that since we are growing a life inside us we can do what we want as long as it doesn't hurt baby!

    Any of you gestational diabetics out there, just be careful if you eat or are planning to try any sugar free candy. If you eat too much of some of them, they give you the runs!

    Speaking from 18 years as a type 1 diabetic experience! They key to everything is moderation! I check my blood sugar between 12-15 times a day but today I have checked it 18 times and will need to before I go to bed as well (but my blood sugar has been low twice today!).

    I always wanted to punch the doctor in the junk for telling me I was gaining too much weight. I gained between 40-50 lbs with both of my kiddos but that was all like after 30 weeks when I had legs that looked like tree trunks because they were so swollen. All of that weight was gone a couple weeks after delivery. With this one, I haven't gained any weight at 18 weeks and hopefully I don't have the problems I did before with all the swelling and water weight.

    Good luck to all of you ladies!

    I'm surprised that my doctor hasn't said anything to me. She's a very midwife-y ob gyn tho. But I was pretty trim before I got preggo and now I'm heavier than I've ever been :(
  • ethansmommy122ethansmommy122
    @sk8rmomma19 dont worry hun ur not alone! @victoriab me too, ive never weighed this much ever but im okay with it cuz i don't look like ive gained that much, and besides we have a valid excuse!

    Make smoothies from scratch. Yogurt (i like Greek), honey, strawberries, peaches, a banana, and a little juice or milk. Blend well with some ice. If it's your whole meal mix in some dry oatmeal. Gives it lots of fiber. Try different types of fruit too. Fresh or frozen.

    @blueberrysmom that sounds yummy! Ill have to try that! Thanx :)
