Just wondering if I'm the only one out there who has done everything in exactly the wrong order, according to the pregnancy books!
This is my third pregnancy, and all three times I was a starvin' marvin the first 12-15 weeks or so, and gained a lot of weight. This time I was running three days a week and spinning two, and I still gained about a pound a week in the first tri, which would have freaked me out if it hadn't been my third time going through this!
I was moderately hungry after that--and then after the half way point, again all three times, I lost my cravings, lost my food aversions, and am eating pretty much as I did pre-pregnancy, minus the artificial sweeteners, booze and sushi. :-P I'm gaining weight, but at a slower pace than in the beginning (which is good!! Otherwise I'd end up gaining like 50 lbs or something!!)
The other times I ended up with a slightly above recommended gain (36 & 41 lbs) which I didn't have much trouble losing post partum and two healthy, normal sized babies, so I'm not really worried. Just baffled by why my body has decided to rebel against What To Expect three times in a row!!
