I didn't gain enough at first, either. Nothing appealed to me. I ate crudites and ranch dip for weeks.
Then, in th elatter part of my second trimester, WHOA. Appetite came back. And weight piled on.

Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I feel totally humiliated even whinging about this, when there are so many Bitches under attack from body image demons
So totally not an issue.
Now, it's superpremium ice cream only for you. And full cream brie. And peanut butter, lord, peanut butter. Maybe some cadbury eggs. Hmm, what else am I currently missing out on? Oh! Fresh bread slathed in butter and maybe some of that brie.

Thrive to spite them
JZ -- a coworker is expecting and I've seen her drink some kind of Ensure type protien drink.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aaahh! So cute!
Thanks, all. No more flipping out.
Eat as much as you can shove down without becoming uncomfortable, every night.
I definitely need to eat more at night. After about 7, my gut just shuts down and even ice cream seems like an unbearable chore (hell, I can't finish a single lousy bottle of root beer in one sitting these days). I'm fairly certain I could manage an extra bowl of cereal, though. Maybe Grape-Nuts. Mmmmm, Grape-Nuts. I've spent so many years training myself to pay attention to what my body's saying and not eat when I'm not actively hungry, it's just bizarre to do this little cognitive u-turn and nosh continuously no matter what my body's saying.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Never having been pregnant, I can't offer any new insight. But it sounds like several of the comments can be summarized as, "Lots of dairy. And not the low-fat kind."

Wah! Brie is forbidden! I swear, the night after the delivery, all I'm going to want for dinner is a loaf of very crusty extra-sour sourdough, a big wodge of butter, and a HUGE wedge of brie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Brie is forbidden!
Wha...? Is it made from sushi or some such nonsense?

Too runny. Could contain bad bacteria and cause listeriosis.
Same with goat cheeses.
(Although, I ate feta like a fiend in the last trimester. I just made sure it pastuerized. I mean, there aren't all sorts of Greek women NOT eating feta, right?)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hope you get this figured out JZ, so that you and the baby continue in bestest of health.
Retroactive jobma, Vortex.

It's wrong to not like a co-worker simply because she's really quiet and barely says, "Good morning." or "Good night." or anything else, right?
