How do hams gain so much weight while pregnant?? My s.o. and I got pregnant, e.g. I'm pregnant. Kindof a pleasant surprise, the prognosis for it isn't great but we're hoping for the best and we're prepared for either outcome. (my uterus is hostile territory to fetuses and SUPPOSEDLY I'm not likely to give birth to a living baby but I'm stubborn a.f. so we've been under the mindset of let's just keep trying and one will be stubborn enough to make it) so I've been taking it easy. Stopped exercises because super cautious, stopped eating what you're supposed to avoid etc. Besides the fact that nothing looks good to me, everything makes me puke. How do whales put on so much fucking weight when I'm having issues keeping 1800kcals down a day (my BMR) The gynos office is full of fat pregnant hams, it pains me to see them give birth so nonchalantly while piling down McDicks while I, someone who would be able to give a kid a decent upbringing, has to walk on pins and needles to maybe get one to survive.  Muh condishuns disgust me.
