That was totally me too. I actually bought maternity pants because everything I owned was huge on me even with a belt!

Flinstones Gummi Vites or Trader Joes Gummivites (depends on which grocery store I go to when I run out). You should be able to get the Flinstones ones anywhere though.

Sorry you have HG too! It really sucks. It totally changed so much about how I viewed pregnancy. I never would have wanted to take all the medicines and stuff I'm taking now while pregnant, but I really have no choice if I want to be able to get some nutrition.

I feel like I"m the only one who's actually gaining weight around here...

You're not, don't worry. At 16 weeks I'm up 8 pounds. It's sooooo hard after having just lost weight as you know.

P.S. I read your DDC a lot. I'm due the first week of October but I've never gone any longer than 38 weeks.

If it makes you feel better muppet729, I've gained over 20 lbs so far

I've gained too--I'm up about 13 lbs at 20 weeks. More if I weigh myself later in the day.

I'm up just over 20 pounds. I started off a healthy weight, so I'm just trying not to hugely overeat (I am HUNGRY, darn it!) and I'm exercising really well. My midwives have me weigh myself at each appointment but all they ever say is "perfect!" I gained about 45 pounds with my son (and was 20 pounds overweight to start) and 35 with my daughter, so I'm hoping to keep it more around the 35 mark but we shall see.
