Hi,

I'm now 18 weeks. I am trying to stick to about 50 - 70 g of carbs a day. Not counting terribly accurately though. Generally no carbs at breakfast as that's when I'm most likley to go hight.

My morning sickness lasted until about 16 weeks. The sore boobs got less after about 2 months. Every preganncy is completely idfferent and haviing or not having symptoms doesn't really mean a lot.

Best wishes

Congrats on your pregnancy!

1. I don't have a specific number of carbs that I limit myself to each day. My general rule is to only eat the type and amount of carbs that I can while still maintaining good blood sugar control. Yes, I have had days where I eat pizza for dinner. However, I know that I can't just have carbs for dinner without a HUGE spike, so if I do pizza, then I also have to consume a lot of protein with it to level out the spike. Maybe order some chicken along with the pizza?

2. I had sore breasts I think around weeks 7-10, and had severe, all-day, every-day nausea from about weeks 6-10. All of the sudden one morning I woke up and the symptoms were completely gone. I was very scared (my first baby too ;) and called my OB who was very reassuring. I guess it is completely normal to have those symptoms mysteriously disappear. I'm currently 27 weeks and everything looks great!
