Stuffing

Has anyone here packed themselves to the brim while pregnant?
I am currently paying the price of going overboard at a BBQ while my twins kick.

If, so tell me how you felt after gorging yourselves to your limits

I never thought about that!

Hi there! Mama of three here 👋
You can stuff... If you want, but I wouldn't recommend going too far. Your blood volume is increasing and your digestion is slowing down, all to accommodate and create your sweet babes. This is a lot on your body, so things like high sodium, high sugar, very large amounts of food are going to take a toll on you in a whole new way.
This being said, if you're out to gain weight you can absolutely get some major gains while pregnant. I just recommend eating a lot more often, versus a stuffing amount all at once. You don't want to risk shocking your system more than it already is going through.
Congratulations on your twins!! That's so exciting. I hope you continue to have a healthy and safe pregnancy ❤️

Little and often is the way to go - especially later in the pregnancy when your stomach starts getting squished.

Yes! Those last 6-8 weeks especially you'll want to stuff but literally can't, there's no room left.

Thank you so much! Gotta take your advice!
Last night I overdid it and felt like I was gonna pop from the trapped wind 😮‍💨!

Of course!! Oh Lord that trapt wind is the worst, I'm so sorry 😭 hang in there.
As hard and as little motivation there is to do it, getting up and moving is the only thing I ever found to actually be productive and helpful with easing that pain.

Something that I just remembered that I did was have a bag, yes an entire bag, dedicated to snacks that I'd just carry around with me every where during my third trimester 🤣🤣 those pregnancy cravings are no joke, and when the hunger strikes, every body look out! Lol having things to munch on constantly kept my blood sugar controlled without spiking it. Like Munchie said, a little bit very often ❤️

Gotta take a little bite then and there then.
God, moving would have worked last night…had I not gorged myself to the point of inmobility with so much meat. I barely waddled to the bed feeling (and being) a balloon full of farts and burps 😩
