Gaining too much weight??

Question

So I had my 16 week check up today and my ob said that I've gained 10 pounds already and that I should watch my weight 😩 with my last pregnancy by this time I had already gained about 20 pounds. So this time I decided to really watch what I eat and do better and I thought I WAS doing better. I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner (no later than 6 pm) and 2 snacks in between. I try to eat as healthy as I can and drink a lot of water, but I guess it's not enough 😔 what else can I do?? It took me years to lose the baby weight from my last pregnancy and I don't wanna take that long this time around. Thoughts?

Answer

Smaller portions? I have been just cause baby won't let me eat too much without getting a stomach. I lost 3 lbs at my 14 week check up. No morning sickness either or no cold.

Answer

By 16 weeks I had already gained at least ten pounds, my midwives were never concerned. I wouldn't listen to them too much. I gained 55 pounds my whole pregnancy. I'm now 3 weeks pp, haven't dieted or exercised and look almost back to my pre pregnancy self. I was told that sometimes you gain more weight in the beginning but then it slowly starts tapering off and it all evens out. Try not to worry or stress about it, your doing all you can and growing a baby is not a simple task. Your doing great and keeping your baby healthy!

Answer

I'm having a hard time too.. at 24 weeks I've gained at least 15 or so.. I'm nervous about going to my appointment tomorrow because I don't want them to tell me what I already know lol.

Answer

Lol, I've only gained 1 lb and I'm almost 6 month's. I lost 16 lbs before I gained that one pound tho. :)

Answer

I did the Whole30 in my 7-8th month. It was AMAZING. Today is my last day of it, and I saw the doc today and she was blown away. My BP is perfect, and I haven't gained any weight since I started it. In total this pregnancy, I've gained 14 pounds, and according to my doctor it's "all baby". It really is an amazing program- it changes your relationship with food. It makes you think about what you're putting into your body and why. I highly suggest you try it, it really does help.

Answer

Like someone else said, smaller portions. Increase your excersise or start excersising if you aren't already. Even a daily walk is better than nothing.
