Anyone else getting FAT from all the carbs due to m/s?!

Oh, this is terrible!!  I'm already up 1-2kg because all I can eat is carbs, and have to eat every hour to keep the nauseous feeling at bay..  it was never this bad with DS, I don't think.  I'm eating WAY more than usual just to keep my stomach settled.

I get the hungry-sick feeling so often, and all I can face is bread, crackers, cereal, so that's all I'm eating.  I feel bad for the baby, and my body as I'm not getting much variety or nutrition:(

So bloated!  Anyone else?!   Hope it passes soon..

    I find mints really helpful to settle my tummy.

    Me! Me!

    It's totally normal to have carbs be the only thing you can stomach, and morning sickness is weird--grazing all day really helps minimize it. Don't worry to much about the baby. The baby will get what it needs from your body regardless of what you eat. Just take your PNVs and do the best you can until the MS passes...

    This is me exactly. I've become quite squishy but no change in weight yet.

    yeah, me. I was doing a low carb diet to lose weight when I got pregnant, so I'm trying to keep it low-ish still. and I'm failing. I'm hoping that once the M/S stops I'll be able to cut back on the carbs and eat more of the veggies and proteins and such.

    Yes, my normal healthy meal, frequently chicken, rice, and veggies, has become carbs, carbs, and a side of carbs. I can't stand the thought of pork right now.

    I did pretty good the first couple of weeks, but put on 2 pounds last week. Plus, I've not felt well enough to work out this week. Augh.

    Bloat =/= fat... get a belly band if you're uncomfortable... it happens to almost everybody...

    By 5 weeks I had gained 2 lbs and I was worried about it, but I went back to the doctor and was weighed again yesterday and weigh the same. My doctor said it's likely just water retention and not actual weight gain at this point. She also said it's better to just eat anything you can during the first trimester so I'm not worried about my current carb overload at this point.

    Oh man, I gained so much weight with DS my first tri because of this. My m/s really kicked in today and it is baaaad. The bloating is so bad that I am going to be starting to use my Beband again very soon. Just make sure you are getting your PNV in and eat what you can. This trimester is all about survival, you can be more careful about food selection once you are feeling better.

    ME!  I feel soooo fat...I am turned to maternity pants because mine were uncomfortable...they still fit and buttoned and all, just tight and felt uncomfortable.  I crave carbs and more junk and right now I just eat what sounds good...though I eat smaller portions, but still have gained because I can't exercise due to the fatigue and m/s!
