So this post is going to be all about mememe

I'm worried that I'm not eating enough and that somehow this will be bad for the baby. It's sort of the fault of the ultrasound tech from last week. When i told her I was at 18 weeks, she said the baby looked small. Later, after she'd talked to the doc, she said it was nothing, but of course, the first part of what she said stuck in my mind.

The thing is that I have had almost no appetite since about 14 weeks (before then I was eating out of necessity as food in my stomach was all that kept the nausea away). I get hungry - like I feel my stomach rumbling, but when it's time to actually make and eat the food, I'm just not interested. I force myself to eat three meals a day and I thought I was doing fine. I've gained 10 lbs so far (@19 weeks). I've seen the baby and she's moving around like she should be.

Maybe once you stop worrying about miscarriage, you start worrying about stuff like this.

Argh! Bad ultrasound tech for worrying you. Mine have been very good about not making any worrying comments thus far.

Your gain sounds like it's just where it should be. At 20 weeks, I'd only gained 1.5 pounds from my first weigh in--heck, I lost three the first week I was on bedrest, because I couldn't eat enough--but the baby seems to be growing just fine.

Try stocking some healthy food bars in the house for mid-meal snacks, if you're concerned about not getting enough food.

This seems to be the case. I now worry about every other possible thing that could go wrong!
