My first pregnancy, I craved "junk food" all the time. I want to eat a full meal, and 45 minutes later, I want more food. I lovedPoutine, ice cream, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I was lucky not to gestational diabetes, because I do not see what I eat to develop. I gained 60 pounds, and took me back about 16 months for my prepregnancy weight.

This time I was much more discipline. I do not have the same desire. I'm happy to eat fruit and vegetables. Even if the demand in the first 7 months, my appetite, I eat every 2-3 hours, otherwise I would be dizzy, I'm happy to eat healthy snacks. Despite allIn addition, now I have gained 67 pounds and are much bigger this time. My ob-gyn for my weight gain, water retention. She assured me that is not what I eat, but how my body reacted to my pregnancy. I can testify to get the water because, as my sprained ankle, which have seen more than once.

Thus, even if it is important for a healthy diet (gives you more power and more fuel for the body), do not panic if you have exceeded the recommended weight during pregnancy.The doctor is the best person to give an analysis of where you are, how to take the best to your body. Talk to your doctor about any concerns. You will also receive help from family, friends, internet, etc. ... but the doctor is suitable for you the best medical advice.
