I am 29 weeks and 6 days and so far I have gained a total of 34 lbs during the whole pregnancy. I know that is a lot to gain during pregnancy. I have talked to my doctor about this and well we cannot come up with anything because I still feel fine and look good as well. I look like I have not gained any weight at all. I have always been average and I eat right and take my vitamins as perscribed (not so much now since I am trying to starve myself because the baby can get hwat it wants from me). I think most of the weight went to my boobs, (I have always been big chested and I went up 6 sizes already.) I was just wondering if anyone else has and they still feel fine and healthy? Also any suggestions would help.

You say you normally eat right and take vitamins, but 'not so much now since I am trying to starve myself because the abby can get what it wants from you'?

I cannot even begin to tell you how *wrong* that statement is! Babies in utero do NOT live off the maternal fat storages. Nor do they extract vitamins from the mother. Everything the baby needs and uses comes from what you eat. You must never ever ever starve yourself while pregnant. While your body can live off fat storages you have (if it needs to.. but starvation is a horrible way to lose weight..)... you baby will not. If you go a day without eating while pregnant, your baby does as well.

No amount of weight or fat is worth risking the life of your child.
