Past Pregnancies Vs. Current Pregnancy

This pregnancy was very different from Jamie’s past ones. Dr. Elliott advised her to gain 100 pounds if she wanted to feed and keep her five babies healthy. It was no easy task as this meant she had to load up on carbs and consume 4,000 calories each day.

Even though Jamie craved cucumbers, she had to befriend pizzas, burgers, and milkshakes to gain so much weight. When she was pregnant with her boys in the past, Jamie suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication that caused severe morning sickness and weight loss. Luckily for her, that wasn’t a problem this time, or it would’ve disrupted her weight-gaining process.
