Worried about weight gain

[sundaesundae]

Hiya,

I am 9 weeks (just) and feel like I am eating just crap and ballooning :o(( I was 12st when I got pregnant (was trying to lose weight!!) so not skinny by any means. Morning sickness etc. means all I want to eat is carbs, today I have had a packet of crisps and four crumpets as that was all I could keep down!

The tiredness means I can only manage a shortish walk and I am just so worried I am going to put on stones and stones :O((

I said to my hubby that I didn't want to be more than 13.5 st max, but that is seemingly like pie in the sky.

Anyone else feel the same or got any tips for not ballooning? When I get some more energy I am going to start swimming, walking and aqua at least 4 days a week and from tomorrow I am going to try and count calories again, no idea what I should aim for, it is all so confusing!!

Oh, and I was sent to a consultant at about 24 weeks, as the guidelines changed. The doctor I saw didn't even mention my weight and was more concerned with my PGP, and sent me for a growth scan because my bump was a little small. And despite carrying lots of weight on my tummy (people have thought I am pregnant since I was a teenager) I had a lovely and definite BUMP from about 20-22 weeks.

Thanks guys, went and reported my pregnancy to GP (felt like a numpty, why have you come? erm.. I'm pregnant?) and weight wasn't mentioned at all. Yay!
