I already gain 35 freaking pounds!!!😖😖😖😖😖😓 Has anyone experienced this and saved themselves from gaining more weight 4 months before delivery? Any similar stories?? Please Help!!😫

Answer

So I had gestational diabetes this pregnancy and the diet is pretty strict but it kept my weight low and I even lost a few pounds when I started. I’m 39 weeks and I’ve only gained 20lbs. Focus on protein as opposed to carbs, cutting out carbs will make a big difference! And eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks a day as opposed to snacking all day or eating big meals. I normally have a small high protein breakfast, a protein bar at 10am, a small low carb lunch at 12, Greek yogurt or hard boiled eggs at 3pm, and a small low carb dinner. It’s really helped with my weight!

Answer

Eat well and exercise. Those are the only things you can control.

Answer

Just slow it down but don't stop it baby needs that weight gain in the third trimester. 
Just eat healthy and get exercise in!
But just an FYI it does come off, especially if you breastfeed and watch what you eat.

Answer

I wouldn’t stress. It’ll come off quickly after birth
