When you have gained too much weight...

Question

So, when I found out I was pregnant, I basically saw it as an excuse to eat all the sugar and crap I didn't use to eat before. Well now I have gained so much weight that my midwife had too bring it up to me. I am cutting back on my sugar intake and trying to focus on my exercise but I'm so afraid its too late....

Answer

I'm watching mine. I have not gained too much yet, but I'm not trying to. When we are unhealthily overweight....our babies can have issues, we can get gestational diabetes, etc. 
I have a health nut of a doctor. I walk 3-5 days a week for 1/2 hour. I eat a lot of veggies, cheese, fruit and chicken. Try to stay away from sugars. Avoid bread a lot as well. It does not convert into anything good iMessage it whole wheat. Oh! Eat Greek vanilla yogurt. It's sweet and not high in sugar. Also.....if you're going after sugar....eat FIBER with it too. My doc said fiber helps to break it down better.

This pregnancy I've actually lost weight! 10 lbs and I'll be 5 months Monday. Doc says it's okay tho because I am a bigger woman. Baby literally won't let me eat anything without me getting sick

Answer

I made the same mistske...thought it was only going to last a day...then a week...then it caught up with me! I never ate anything bad before! I made the ultimate change about a week ago at 16w and now im trying very hard to be healthy....my thinking was "its never too late" need to make sure losing the weight after pregnancy is achievable. We sill have plenty of time to take control! Good luck!

Answer

I gained 50lbs with my first and 40 with my second. I lost all the weight afterwards. If you continue to eat like that after pregnancy (obviously not good during) you won't lose all of it. Try snacking on fruit instead and let yourself have a treat so you don't go overboard

Answer
