Feeling a bit better

Well I'm definatley feeling alot better.  I'm really tired all the time as I'm finding it hard with a 1 year old and being in the early stages of pregnancy but once I hit the 12 week mark I should have more energy.  At least I'm not feeling as sick as I was.  Finding the gym alot harder, just out of breath so much and I need to remember to maintain what I'm doing and not to push myself.  I haven't been eating the best, having something naughty each day and I thought I would weight myself today to see what damage I have done.  Good news is I'm still 54.5kg so no weight put on so far.  With my first pregnancy I had already put on 5kgs by this stage so I'm hoping I am on the right track.  My meals in themselves have been quite healthy and I'm making sure to pay more attention to my diet starting this week and trying to incorporate more fruit between meals or when I am hungry and more veg.  I am addicted at the moment for lunch to toasted sandwiches, can't bear the thought of having salad but at least they are healthy, avacodo, tomato and low fat cheese and it just hits the spot nicely.  In fact I could eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

7 weeks

Ah 7 weeks to what you may ask.  Well 7 weeks pregnant.  I have been struggling.  I was vomiting on Friday from 4pm until 4am in the morning.  Not sure if it is pregnancy sickness or perhaps I had some sort of bug.  Anyway the doc gave me some antinausea pills as i am feeling very sick in general but they are not really working.  Instead of putting on some weight I have lost some weight.  Ended up having HJ's for lunch yesterday just to get something greasy inside me, I couldn't eat anything else and the growing baby did need something, at least it stayed down.  Doc has told me no going to the gym until after the 1st trimester.  With Jay I trained the whole time right up until I gave birth so I am not going to avoid the gym this time it will do my head in.  He said I can exercise but would prefer I do it at home that way I can't go overboard where as if I went to the gym i think he is worried I am going to do too much.  I do listen to my body and I know it is an important stage but I will go careful, besides its not much fun trying to do it when you feel like you are going to vomit and this lasts all day.  I definatley wasn't this bad with Jay.  The good thing is I lost all my pregnancy weight plus about 4 kilos and hopefully I won't put on as much this time.  At least next time when I loose the weight it will be for good as this will be the last.  Better to get the kiddies out the way now.  Fingers crossed it getting pass the first trimester safely.
