Trying not to freak out...ugh...
Okay, so quick back story: first pregnancy in 2005 ended in miscarriage, second pregnancy in 2006 was high-risk all the way through but I had my son, and third pregnancy is...now. I'm 6 weeks today.
It kind of sucks knowing so early that I'm pregnant. I was tracking my periods closely, and when I went over my typical 23-25 days between periods and hit 32 days I tested positive. I knew the exact date of my last period, so I found out at 4 weeks. Both times before I found out between 8 and 10.
Well, last two times I was pregnant, I was 110 pounds at 5'2 (so actually underweight). This time? Yea, I started at 160 which was a 29.9 on the BMI scale.
The real problem here (other than the fact that I still have no insurance) is that I've already gained 5 pounds. O_O
I'm like...wtf. I have barely been eating from a mix of pretty mild nausea (compared to my last horrific pregnancy) but absolutely nothing sounds good to eat ever. So I've been eating a breakfast bar, some of that high fiber Quaker cereal, maybe an apple and some kind of meat product for dinner (chicken or pork usually) and thats about it. I've been drinking water all day. I do very mild exercising (mainly due to the fact that I have absolutely no way to other than dance around my living room). Can't walk outside in TX or I'll die, can't go anywhere that has equipment because no one can watch my son, and I can't afford ANYTHING (we have like 11 dollars in the bank). So I'm kind of stuck on the exercising until my husband gets his bonus check, but thats like 3-4 weeks away.
What would be making me gain so much weight so quickly? I know that I'm bloated beyond belief, and my breast size has actually gone DOWN not up. I'm freaking out about it because the 165 has pushed me into obese and I'm only this far along. I thought for sure I'd either maintain or lose in the first trimester. Is there still time for that? Is this some early pregnancy thing that I don't remember? HALP!
