LynneI will be honest. I will be 24 weeks tomorrow and have gained 45 pounds to date. BUT I had been dieting and lost 20 pounds just prior to getting pregnant so as soon as I started to eat "normally" those 20 pounds came rushing back. I was really hungry the first 3 months but things have calmed. I am better with snacking now than previously which is why I think my weight gain has slowed.
As for mood swings, I would say I am no moodier than any other pregnant woman that works full time, takes care of a 3 year old, husband and household. I take a wonderful dietary supplement in additional to my prenatal vitamins and I think that is the big difference. This pregnancy is much better than my pregnancy with Nicholas and I wasn’t even on dex then.
Hope that helps. :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
