I have a history of eating disorders and now I pregnant I'm trying to eat enough calories and be…

It's something that happens with pregnancy! I've never had an eating disorder as such, but I've always been careful about my weight! But now I can't help it, just remember baby needs food! As well as you! All the weight gained in pregnancy is worth it! Plus, more than likely if your slim before pregnancy the weight shifts quite quickly! Weight gain in pregnancy is one of the healthiest and most natural things! Try your hardest to embrace it and remember why your gaining weight, your growing your own perfect little baby @meadraven xxx

I know you're right I just don't want to be huge if I can help it :( I'm learning to embrace it I just don't want it to get out of hand as I'm only half way through. you're so right though thank you @beccastirlingx xxx

I know the feeling, it's a hard battle! But just think when babies born and you look into those beautiful little eyes and feel that overwhelming feeling of love, will that little weight gain matter? If it's any conciliation, I'm 27 weeks on Monday and so far I've only gained 4kg and I have been unable to eat healthy as it made me sick! Was just all high calorie food! You'll be fine and you'll look great no matter what! @meadraven xxx

At 10 weeks I went camping xD and it was right next to a beach :) I had battered sausage(2) every day sometimes twice a day along with a large portion of chips. I was there for a week! When I came home I was a few lbs lighter haha! I believe your metabolism is very fast in pregnancy. I didn't start putting weight on until 27/28 weeks xD Most of the weight is the baby, placenta and water :) My friend put on 4 stone during pregnancy and lost 2 stone in the 2 weeks after birth :) A lot is water rentention too xD I wouldn't worry hun! Eat how much you like xD :) or eat things that are quite heavy and keep you fuller for longer x x

I've had a few take aways every week, eaten what I wanted when I wanted and weight gain has been completely within the guidelines. The weight isn't just baby it's fluid, milk in boobs just relax this is the only time in your life you don't have to diet just enjoy & put the hard slog in after baby you need your strength for labour xx

What tends to work when the hunger is at a high, little and often. Rather than 3 normal portions, try 8 small portions evenly spaced out. It helped me. I found myself hungry every 2 hours (like a newborn lol) so I'd have a little something instead of just breakfast, lunch and dinner x

Healthy snacks ! Like instead of chips get a load of carrot sticks or a handful of nuts . Thats how i made it work @meadraven

thanks for your replies guys :) @b.margyte @nashkay @rachbump177 @winterbaby95

I'll get over it I'm sure.

I wouldn't mind so much if I hadn't had my issues I the past. I know what I'm doing is good for baby and I need to remember that. xx

I go slimming world as it is the only diet you can do while pregnant and there is loads of food you can eat unlimited! xx

I didn't realise that was an option!!! that's awesome thank you @felicjuh xx
