I don't have the "Look" yet!
So I am about 25 weeks (6 months and 1 week) into my pregnancy. Anyone can look at me and easily say I don't look pregnant at all! I wasn't thin and fit before I got pregnant, so I did have some extra weight and I guess you could say some room for the baby to grow. Due to my medical condition I am on a diet. I eat 3 meals a day and 3 snacks a day...this is way more than I'm used to eating! I even get to the point that I don't want to eat but if I don't eat...then I take the risk of a low blood sugar. In the middle of the night my blood sugar has dropped to levels in the 40 range. I'm lucky that the baby reminds me of a bathroom break at 1 a.m. by kicking my bladder. I really think that if I didn't wake up in the middle of the night for a bathroom break, I might not be waking up at all with blood levels like that.
According to WebMD I should have gained about 10 to 14 pounds by now. I have GAINED LOST 2 pounds since I have found out that I was pregnant. I have lost up to 4 pounds at one time. My weight is like a yo-yo each time I go to see the doctor. I can loose 2 pounds one month...gain 1 pound the following month. I have asked my doctor so many times about my weight and how I'm not gaining. Overall its a good thing that I'm not gaining weight. I will have less weight to loose after the baby or I may even return to my pre-pregnancy weight, if not less! The baby's growth is on track and yes, he IS gaining weight. I honestly think that if I gain anymore weight from now until the end of the pregnancy, its only going to be the weight of the baby.
At times, I do think that I'm missing out on the whole pregnancy feeling and physical part. I mean I still have a baby inside...kicking around, I just don't have the 'normal' weight of a pregnant woman. I don't have the big round belly or anything like that. I have even been told by others...some days you look pregnant and some days you don't. I guess I'm looking for the "I'm not fat, I'm pregnant" look. Only 3 more months to go...we'll see how big I get!
