Any new mamas with BMI 30?

Question

Hi girls! I just got my bfp yesterday after iui #1 with letrozole! My BMI is 36.1 now. I was working up to some running until we stopped during TWW after iui. I'm really worried about being able to have a healthy pregnancy with my weight. So far we are working on a healthy diet, swimming at least walking once a week, and walking and/or prenatal yoga daily. Anyone else in the same boat? :)

Answer

This is what I found...it looks like they recommend not increasing your calories until at least after the first trimester and aiming for a 0-11lb weight gain overall! My starting weight was 204 so I'd love to stay under 210. I'd also love a weight control buddy! We can do it! :)

Answer

My bmi is 36. I was normal weight for baby #1 but never lost her baby weight so now I'm 30lbs heavier  starting pregnancy  for baby  #2. Trying to eat healthy. My fatigue is kicking my butt so i haven't  been working out much but i have a semi active job. I'm  7 weeks and 4 days

Answer

My BMI is *cough* 45 *cough*. With my first pregnancy, my midwife told me not to gain any weight at all- lose as much as possible without endangering my baby, in fact. And I weighed about 20 lbs less than I do now. This is the heaviest I've ever been. Need to formulate a battle plan.

Answer

That's me too. Overweight. I've heard maintain and eat healthy. But don't diet.

Answer

I just checked mine and it's 33. I had GD with my last pregnancy. I've been eating clean and exercising. Dr put a hold on exercising due to the huge cyst on my right ovary. I'll continue to eat clean for as long as I'm able to.  Good luck with your pregnancy!

Answer

Me 38

Answer

Yep, BMI 32.1. It took us a while to get pregnant and the stress of that was making it hard for me to think about healthy habits. I worry a little about weight gain in this pregnancy, because I've been so nauseated and only crappy foods sound remotely appealing. I'm hoping it will balance out in the 2nd trimester when I'm less tired and less queasy.

Answer

I am; and as with my first, I just think every pound on is every pound I'll have to take off. So I make sure to extra take care of myself. 💗👣

Answer

Your not alone ..I need an exercise plan asap so scared of gaining anymore weight I've gained 35 in 2 yrs almost 😞

Answer

I have already gaine 5 lbs in the past 1 1/2 months from going off my ADHD meds and getting pregnant... I was just overweight but now my bmi is 30.6.... I'm super paranoid bc im 8 weeks tomorrow and I go to my
Doctor on Friday for first appt and I'll be horrified if she says I have gained too much already which is my biggest fear ESP if she says it in front of my hubby who doesn't seem to understand that the only thing that help keep nausea at bay is eating a little something every 2-3 hours whether im hungry or not... Anyone else been in this boat and not gain as much in early 2nd trimester?  I'm just worried im guna gain and already have gained more then they'd want but being off my meds and pregnant has put my body into hunger and craving mode 😳
