Is it possible to gain NO more weight?

Question

I’ve gained 27lbs at 28w and I was already overweight. My doctor told me not to gain any more but I’m not sure what to do. I generally eat pretty healthy but I’m also constantly starving. I’m planning to cut out all sugars and almost all bread / processed carbs. What else can I do?? Anyone else in this boat?

Answer

I've gained about the same, 27 pounds at almost 27 weeks. My weight had fluctuated a bit the past couple of weeks, but I always gain a lot when i'm pregnant no matter what I do. 🤷‍♀️ If my doctor tells me not to gain anymore, then he's just SOL 😂

Answer

Try cutting out all sugars and unhealthy carbs and see where that gets you. That's the most important. I'm hungry all the time too so I snack on nuts a lot as those are healthy fat and protein. Protein is the main thing that will cure your hunger, carbs don't.

Answer

Thursday I'll be 29weeks and I have gained 22lbs. Slow in the beginning but weight has taken off recently. I have GDM and the doctors wants me to take my glucose every 2 hours after I eat (. I have actually stopped though bc this weight gain is crazy and I'm not even a big eater. I felt like I am only eating to prick myself🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

Idk if this is safe to suddenly do this while pregnant, I’ve just been doing it for such a long time that it’s normal for me and my body. But I intermittent fast. I didn’t even mean to, I just can’t eat close to sleep or I’ll get a racy heart and upset stomach so I stop eating around 6-7. Then in the morning, if I eat too early I feel awful and I can’t eat carbs so I’ll usually eat like eggs or something without bread/carbs. I usually won’t eat til 12pm or so. I’m only 144 and I started this pregnancy around 133. I don’t see myself gaining that much more weight. I only got up to 155 with my daughter and went til 41w3d

Answer

It’s definitely possible to maintain weight. Drink lots of water, snack on healthy items, cut out unnecessary sugar, carbs and fats. 
I was slightly overweight at 142 in the beginning. Now hovering at 159-162lbs, trying to maintain the weight for the last 11 weeks.

Answer

I’ve gained 20lbs total and I put it on all in 1st and 2nd trimesters. I’m 28w4d now and haven’t gained a single lb since 20 weeks. I find it odd.

Answer

I’ve gained 29 lbs at 26 weeks, which is how much I gained at 41 weeks with my first daughter. Definitely freaked out a little when I realized. 😳
