am I eating enough?

Question

so I'm 19 weeks and I a very tiny person. 5"1 and 100lbs before getting pregnant. so far I've only gained about 4-5 lbs. am I not eating enough? I feel that when the baby is hungry that she'll let me know. I'm a first time mom, I don't want to worry if it's not necessary.

thoughts?

Answer

I had that same concern. I would force myself to eat small things and snacks throughout the day, like bananas, watermelon, fruit, a peanut butter jelly sandwich, etc. Each person is different. My OBGYN told me that a lot of people think that you must be big and huge to qualify as being pregnant, but that isn't true.

You don't have to take big meals, but just be sure that you do not become hungry. I get hungry once every 2 hours, so my meals are frequent and small. I don't take pre-natal vitamins either, but follow the advice of your doctor. :)

Answer

thanks ladies! I will definitely make sure to ask my doctor about calorie intake.

Answer

Of you are t feeling hungry, you're probably okay. But you can ask your Dr how many calories you should be eating per day and get a cal tracker.
