Comments on: Not Such Good News http://newsinglemama.com/186/not-such-good-news/ I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

I'd always go with the first. It took, like a month, initially, but some of it came back. It bothers me sometimes but most of the time it doesn't. The only thing that really bothered me was that none of my clothes fit after. Even though I temporarily got back to the pre-baby weight my body shape had changed so it was really different.

Infact I'm avoiding him and contemplating on ending the friendship even though it has been going on for 7 years. I just don't feel like we're making any progress. How long did it take you to lose your pregnancy weight? My friend isn't much better off than my BD and I'm starting not to like him very much. Infact I'm avoiding him and contemplating on ending the friendship even though it has been going on for 7 years. I just don't feel like we're making any progress.

How long did it take you to lose your pregnancy weight?

Everything else made me sick to my stomach. Then around the 6 month I always wanted toast with strawberry jam and mini-peanut butter cups.. and they had to be mini. lol. I gained 40 pounds too. Definitely 15 in the first 4 or 5 months, maybe even 20, but I'd go a month and not gain a thing and then gain a whole bunch the next month. I wouldn't be too worried right now, I think you're supposed to gain between 30 and 35 pounds through your whole pregnancy. As for your friend, I wasn't sure what to say, which is why I haven't commented until now. Mostly, just let him go live in his own drama and don't let him drag you down into it. Stress isn't good for you or JackJack. That conversation was just outrageous! lol When I was pregnant I couldn't stomach even the thought of anything other than either soup or a mcdonald's cheeseburger.

Wow @ the conversation. Don't worry about the 15lbs. Its just one of those things that isn't worth stressing yourself over right now. I hope you're able to keep your blood pressure down.

Why eat baked chicken and steamed veggies when I could have a juicy cheeseburger and french fries? I used to eat somewhat healthy before the pregnancy but now its out of the question! Thanks for the stress tip I will try that :) Oh Sara, I just can’t help it. Why eat baked chicken and steamed veggies when I could have a juicy cheeseburger and french fries?

I gained 14 pounds in my 5th month too and thought it was the worst thing ever. I tried to blame it on the holidays and everything but the truth is my appetite was just out of control. I could not stop eating. Luckily for me the bigger I get, the more uncomfortable I feel when I eat so its cut my appetite way back. Its easy for people to tell you to not eat so much and stay away from stress but when your pregnant its just gonna happen. I try to take a nice bath a few time a week and just shut my eyes and block out everything. Hang in there you'll be ok :) I know how you feel!
