Help! Pregnancy falling apart

[boycrazy]

I've been trying to maintain workouts but am failing miserably. This pregnancy is far different than my previous 3. My others were almost identical I have no idea what to expect next. I had the worst ob appt. of my life on Mon. It's been one thing after another migraines, sinus infections,anemia, bleeding & now the latest a hernia! I was so upset I had to leave w/out finding out what this meant. He noticed it right away on my belly button. Has anyone else had this experience? Will my abs be a thing of the past? I am normally a size 2 and I have gained 18lbs @ 24 weeks. I can't imagine how big I will be. I'm trying not to be vain but I feel it's out of control. I am not suppose to be lifting so walking is having to do. I am normally very active and I have no energy. I feel so discouraged. I hope my little guy is ok through all of this.
Sorry for the length I just needed to vent.
Thanks,
Kim
ps Any suggestions on belly belts to ease pressure?

I'm so sorry about what you're experiencing!! Hopefully this will make you feel a lil better....I"m 5'3 size 2, I gained 45 pounds with my 1st pregnancy. 45 pounds is ALOT!!!!! especially for us littles but I lost it all and was thinner than ever in 6 months. So I was tinier than pre preg. So if you gain a lot this time around, it'll come off, don't sweat. Walking is actually one of the greatest exercises for your body;-) What's first and formost here is that your lil sunshine is okay. I totally feel your discouragement, I would feel the same. So enjoy the fresh air.
What causes the hernia, I"m interested to hear?
I feel for you!!

Good luck.

Hi,
I was petite 4 before my first pregnancy. I lost the preggo weight plus some and ended up a petite 2 and a 1 or 0 in gap/old navy. Since I started out thinner I noticed this time around I am gaining more. At week 20, I already up 13 pounds. I think our bodies gain a little more early on if we are thin.
