I am 12 weeks pregnant, and yesterday I suddenly noticed my huge belly! I was not able to eat for about 1.5 months, so the doctor put me on nausea pills. Now, am sickness is mostly gone and I have been able to eat for a couple of weeks. I'm trying to eat fruits and veggies and cut down on read meats and fats, but you should see me in maternity shirts! It's like I blew up overnight. Is that normal?

I would stick the food pyramid, right now your body needs a balance of meats, fruits and veggies. Everything in moderation-even the stuff that is good for your body. You may not gain alot of pregnancy weight, but the weight you do gain will mostly be baby~ like a high 8 or 9 lb baby.
