Im use to been 130 ish i feel fat ass hell. Should i stick to more salad less rice and bread and etc..?

Answer

You don't. Right now your baby needs you to feed it and you can't do that job properly by restricting calories to lose weight. Working out Is an option, but don't go overboard. And honestly, if you're doctor is not concerned, you shouldn't be either. 
Trust me I know how hard it is to look at the scale and think "dear god I'm fat" but I get over it by reminding myself that I'm pregnant and keeping my baby alive.

Answer

My sister in law was actually told to lose 15 lbs if possible but she was more than 50 overweight when she concieved. How much they want you to gain depends on how much you weigh when you concieve. I am 5 ft and start out at 100 lbs with each pregnancy and each time have been told to gain no less than 40.

Answer

Instead of cutting out carbs completely, eat them daily in moderation and choose the good carbs like brown rice, whole-grain bread, sweet potatoes, quinoa. And eat fruits and vegetables and lean protein. And of course, drink lots and lots of water.

Answer

Definitely try to eat more fruits and veggies. I'm not sure what kind of exercises you do but if you look up "pregnancy exercises second trimester" on YouTube there's exercise videos! I also make sure to walk everyday!

Answer

Sounds like a perfectly healthy weight for your height and being 20 weeks. Just fuel your body with healthy options and you'll be fine!

Eat balanced meals (veggies, protein, healthy carbs).

Avoid sugar and starchy carbs like bread and pasta.

Relax and enjoy the process. Your body is doing what it should for your baby.

Answer

Eat extremely healthy. Lean meats rather than fatty meats. Lots more veggies & fruits. Minimal carbs & starches & try some prenatal yoga/prenatal exercises safe for pregnancy & the stage you are at.

Answer

You shouldn't feel pressured to lose weight when you're pregnant. You're expected to gain between 25-30 lbs; however, you should eat healthier for the sake of your baby and so that you feel happy and energized. After the baby, you can definitely work to lose the baby weight. 😊

Answer

Did the doctor say you needed to lose weight? Pregnancy makes your body not really your own and as much as it may be difficult to recognize yourself, remember that it's doing a lot of work to create that new person inside you. Be kind to your body!

Answer

😳 
You don't try to lose weight while pregnant !! 
Let your baby grow and worry about your weight after.

Answer

Don't try to lose weight as that would be worse for your baby. Just try and eat healthy lots of fresh fruit and veg. Eat enough carbs for energy. 7 portions of carbs is healthy for energy. One portion is the size of your palm when cooked. 
Ideally 7 carb portions, 7 portions of fruit and veg, 3 dairy, 2 protein. Xxx.
