Do you think it's healthy to gain excessive weight during pregnancy

Question

Answer

I am going to eat what i want when i want 😜
Maybe not ok for everyone else, but i am considered under weight for my height and my metabolism is outrageous, meaning yes i HAVE to consume alot more calories than most others, even when i am not pregnant. Plus, i weigh 110 pounds at 5'8.....I am perfectly healthy and take all of my vitamins, so if i want an ice cream cone for breakfast than i will have an ice cream cone for breakfast 😋

Answer

I don't think excessive weight gain is healthy- but I'm not going to freak out if I gain more than 35. I'm 34 weeks now and I've gained 35 pounds- if I gain 5 more then so be it. But as for saying "screw it" and gaining 90 pounds- that's not a good idea. At the very least you'll have a lot of extra aches and pains. But, some women have other issues too like bed rest that cause them to gain extra weight.

Answer

No, there is no reason to go crazy, you are literally not eating for two. Depending on starting weight you may only need up to 200 extra calories a day. That's like two small yogurt cups....
