I am 5'3 and have never weighed over 95 pounds. I have never been able to gain any weight. I am down to 89 pounds with the pregnancy because I have been so sick all the time.

My doctor told me I need to gain 35-40 pounds to ensure a healty pregnancy for the baby. I have no idea on how to do that.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to gain weight too, so if you get the answer pass it along :) I have started drinking protein shakes this week so hopefully that will help.

I will certainly pass it along when I find it! I never even thought of protein shakes! I will have to try that! Good luck to you!

I wouldn't worry to much as your still in the 1st trimester and almost everyone loses weight the 1st tri due to morning sickness. I would just recommend eating foods higher in carbs and protein, booster juice is really good and there drinks are easy to keep down. I'm sure once you hit your 2nd tri you will gain weight and keep food down easier. Take care

MKCourt - How are you doing this week? How far along are you ?

Ashley- I have not gained any weight but I am going to go get some protein shakes this week. I will be 10 weeks on wednesday.

How are you doing?

Ashley2121 - May 18th, 2009 4:49 PM

Do you mean get back into shape after pregnancy? I am not worried about that, before I got pregnant I was pretty active and weight consious. Plus I am very determined to lose all the weight after the babies are born - I am going on vacation like 7 months after they arrive.......and it involves a bikini :)
