am I eating enough?

Question

My husband gets mad and says im not eating enough. Yet im gaining weight each appointment and the baby is growing right. Every blood test has always been okay too.

Usually for breakfast i have a bowl of fruit. Then i usually skip lunch and have dinner which is usually a meat, side and a veggie.

Answer

I'm not a proponent of skipping meals, pregnant or not-- it's generally better to eat more & smaller meals than to eat fewer & larger meals.

But if your dr's happy with your weight progress, that's the most important thing.

Answer

It's not good to skip meals. You don't have to eat a ton but you should have a little something earlier.

Answer

So you go all day until dinner with just a bowl of fruit? I'm starving for you😩

Answer

Skipping lunch probably is not the best thing for you but if you want just call and ask the doctor they will be able to give you a clear answer

Answer

If your doctor isn't concerned then you shouldn't be either. I lost 17 pounds my first trimester before she started to get worried, and I've only gained 2 pounds max between appointments ever since. But I am gaining so that's the important part
