I put on 4st with DS but as I was 10st when started, I was at least slim to start with

However, with this one I was already a bit overweight when conceived..and now I am freaking about gaining another 4st

I am trying my best not to eat very much junk and so far, this is working as its not appealing to me, but I'm having to eat every two hours or so and it seems to be things like salt and vinegar crisps and cream crackers that settle my tummy

I forced myself to have wholemeal toast for breakfast/lunch but it was like chewing on leather...really did not appeal...

Wtf to do?!! Woke up at 6am this morning sooo tired and so hungry that I just staggered to kitchen and grabbed a coissant before crashing back to bed..eeek!!

I'm eating way less than I was before I got pregnant (when I ate way too much pizza/pork scratchings etc) and am still putting on weight, so you must be really working at it. That's amazing!

More generally, I'm happy to put on a reasonable amount, I just don't want to go so far that getting my body back seems impossible. I've been lucky in the past and had a good metabolism and been active, but I know that pregnancy will change my metabolism and I already don't feel well enough to exercise, so sure having a young baby won't help.

Just want to stay looking vaguely like me!

Pmsl at thought of exercise when I can barely make it to the kitchen to stuff my face!

Maybe when sickness wears off....
