The first trimester is soooo tiring - I had to let exercise go, so that I could use what little energy I had to take care of my family. But I do agree with Suz's comment - you need to make sure you are eating - just a little bit every 2 - 2 1/2 hours. This actually helps nausea, even though you don't feel like eating - it is best to keep something in your stomach. The worst is when you wait too many hours to eat - you'll feel really sick and then anything you eventually do eat will make you really sick having it on an empty stomach. Hang in there! Hopefully the sickness/tiredness will ease up for you in a few weeks. For me, I got a burst of energy around 14 weeks and I was able to start going on walks occasionally for exercise. <br />Lots of love!

I know, fat girls aren't technically supposed to wear leggings, but when you're wearing a big dress-like shirt on top that goes almost down to your knees to cover the the fattest parts of your body I see no harm done, right?! <br /><br />As for your previous post, I LOVED IT! The other day I was at Lagoon with my 9 year old step-son and 10 year old nephew. We were talking about one of the rides and my nephew Michael said to me, "Yeah but YOU cannot go on that, it would be bad for the baby." I replied, "What baby?" He looked at me, stammered, and said, "Oh...nevermind" (accompanied by a slight giggle). I said, "Michael, what're you talking about?" He said, "Did you already have the baby? Yeah...oh yeah...you already had the baby." (Yes, NINE MONTHS AGO!) Then I said, "MICHAEL! Are you saying I look PREGNANT?!" He replied, "Well..." (looking me up and down) "...maybe!" My son, Spencer, missed most of this and asked what we were talking about. I told him Michael said I look fat. Michael then replied, "No I didn't! It's just when you're pregnant your skin gets all stretched and now you're skin is just all flabby." Wow...thanks for clarifying...that's SO much better than being fat...wait...no it's not! Oh, the honesty of kids. I tried to laugh it off and have repeated the story to all of my sisters in hopes that they'll say, "You're not fat" or something equally reassuring, although I know I am. It's hard not to let the truth hurt sometimes! At least you ARE pregnant and have an excuse for being a little "flabby"! (I still have a hard time picturing you as anything but thin though!)wuxiheatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429741673749271321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962475627394794269.post-52046330198033022092010-08-26T10:58:37.872-07:002010-08-26T10:58:37.872-07:00Bina,
I'm glad that you're BACK! You'...Bina,<br /><br />I'm glad that you're BACK! You've been missed in the cyberworld.<br /><br />Here's what I'm getting from your post - you are not eating enough. 10 lbs is a lot to loose without exercising and it is part of why you are so fatigued. You have to force yourself to eat, even if you are not feeling well. You need to be able to function, and that low-energy nyquil feeling is not just the baby, it's the low blood sugar, too tired from not eating feeling.<br /><br />Stock up on some simple snacks and force yourself to eat them, so you can have just a little bit of energy for Ally. Here are my favorites, wheat thins with laughing cow cheese spread, ghram crackers (sometimes with peanut butter or nutella). Apples and caramel dip, Ritz crackers, a bland cereal, like life or rice crispys. It's when your stomach is too empty that you'll feel even sicker.<br /><br />I walked around like a zombie for about a week or so, then one morning scott brought home krispy creme donuts and i ate two when i got up. i still felt a little sick, but I had ENERGY to do laundry.<br /><br />SO EAT EAT EAT EAT for your two babies :)Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013007707760185191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962475627394794269.post-76108189479933712862010-08-26T09:45:09.131-07:002010-08-26T09:45:09.131-07:00Great post Bina!

All of the pregnancy health books, blogs, etc say .. "It's great to exercise while pregnant, healthy for your baby!" Saying is a LOT easier than doing. I have consistently committed to stay in moderate shape during pregnancy. I have consistently broken that commitment during the first trimester. IT's HARD!! All you want to do is curl up in a ball in your bed. So, hang in there. I've always noticed a MAJOR uplift in how I felt around week 12 or 13.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820918788363015171noreply@blogger.com
