Too much weight gain ? 15+6

Question

I've gained 16 lbs so far. 😕 I'm not doing anything differently than I did pre pregnancy. Idk what to do. I don't drink soda or juice. I drink a ton of water. Eat 3 meals a day. Get plenty of exercise due to working 2 jobs. I don't eat many sweets. 😭
I feel bad about myself when they lecture me on weight gain. My pre pregnant weight was 160 and I'm 5'6" so I started a little overweight.

Answer

Try eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 meals. Eat real, whole food (not processed). It will be easier for your body to digest, and less likely to be stored as fat.

I'm so sorry you feel bad, but it is WONDERFUL that you're listening to your doctor and trying to have the healthiest pregnancy possible! ♡♡

Answer

According to my midwife that is far too much. she doesn't think weight gain before 20 weeks in necessary.
