low carb pregnancy?

Question

Has anyone done a low carb pregnancy? I've been eating low carb for the last 3 years but when my nausea and vomiting hit I had terrible aversions to meats and cheese. Carbs were the only thing my tummy could handle. Im 14 weeks now and my nausea is almost completely gone (thank god🙌) but the carbs caused me to BLOW up! Like I've gained
Like 15+ pounds 😳 from eating 
Popcorn and pasta and toast etc. my body doesn't handle carbs well. But idk if suddenly cutting carbs all the way out again would be the healthiest for baby...im going to talk to my doctor about it at my appt on Monday but have any of you done a low carb pregnancy? Or any advice on how I should proceed? Note: im not trying to lose weight or diet....low carb has been my lifestyle and my body responds to carbs by piling on the pounds at an unhealthy rate. Thanks ladies 😘

Hey Kristine. The same happened to me with this pregnancy. I've gained 12lbs and I'll be 18weeks on Saturday. I still have nausea and I take diclegis. Anyways, I slowly started to cut out the bad food that I was eating. I still eat bread, but limit my carb j take. I find that when I log my food, I eat better. Download myfitnesspal. Also, try eating sweet potato. It's a good source of complex carbs. Also, idk if you workout, but try to incorporate some cardio/circuit training to slow down your weight gain. I have found exercising helps slow weight gain down for me.

I'm low carb because I'm type 2 diabetic. I get just enough as needed but not too much. Smaller meals with snacks in between (;

Super late to this post but I’m so glad I found it! I’ve been eating low carb too but sometimes I just CANNOT stomach most of my low carb options i go to. So I’ve had to rely on carbs and junk just to eat something for my stomach to settle 😩 I’ve already gained several pounds, and I’m frustrated, but I cant eat so many of my normal low carb meals. 🤢 Did it level out for you ladies? Did you end up weaning yourselves off the carbs again when the nausea went away? 
I just don’t want to gain too much weight. 
Thanks ladies. ❤️

I’m so glad I found your post! Low carb has been my way of eating for the past few years and when I got pregnant and couldn’t eat anything but carbs I gained 15+ lbs in my first trimester!!! I was freaking out. I’m 14 weeks now and trying to stick to low carb..how did the rest of your pregnancy go?
