I’m 27 weeks and gained 25 lbs so far. Is that a lot?

Question

In between my last appointment and most recent, I’ve gained 10lbs. I’m shocked. I feel like that’s a lot... is there something I could do to slow it down?

Answer

I’m not sure if that’s normal but you can always check the quantity & quality of what your eating - foods high in sugar, fats, carbs VS food that are high in fiber, protein and healthy starches. The second will keep you full & fueled so less snacking & eight gain.
Daily exercise if you can is sure to help keep weight gain to a minimum if you feel like it’s soo much.
Also reducing salt. Salt will encourage you to eat more salt by foods and keep eating in general.
You also have to take into consideration your height & weight before pregnancy. Maybe based on that your 27 week gains are appropriate?
Finding balance with food & exercise always works best for me! Best of luck 😘❤️

Answer

It really depends on your pregnancy weight. Is ur doctor concerned?

Answer

It all depends on your weight before you get pregnant. When I had my son I was obese and was recommended to gain only 15 lbs and I only gained 17lbs (I wasn’t monitoring my diet either 😅) but I believe for someone who is of a healthy weight can gain up to 25-30 lbs which what they’d “like” you to gain. But I’m no doctor and I was told all this almost 3 years ago when I was first pregnant.

Answer

You can try to religiously monitor your caloric intake but I’ve known women who have done that and still gained “too much” weight due to water retention. As long as you’re not eating extremely unhealthily, try not to worry and just let your body do it’s thing 💛
