Weight gain second baby feeling down 😩

Stephanie

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby, and have already gained 31 pounds. I’m so bummed because with my first I gained about 33 total, and I had her at 39 weeks. I am so confused because I have been working out this pregnancy 5+ times per week, and also eating much healthier than I did the first go around. I also have a 2 year old so I feel like I am much more active chasing her around instead of lying on the couch watching Netflix like last time! It’s like no matter what I do, I continue gaining 1.5 pounds per week. I was really hoping to stay at 35 pounds total, but at this rate I will gain over 40. I just feel so fat and not like myself, and I can’t wait to be able to have my own body back! One of the hardest parts of pregnancy for me is letting go of being in control. My body seems to do whatever it wants regardless of how I try to take care of myself. Did anyone else struggle more with weight gain their second pregnancy? Any tips to cope physically and emotionally?
