Gaining Too Much Weight?

Question

First of all, I dont need a lecture on my age. Im 16, and this is my first pregnancy. I have gained like 25 lbs, and I am 27 weeks and 2 days along. I have several people I know who have been or sre pregnant but they weren't as big as me when they were 27 weeks. Ive been told Im "all baby"... but I feel huge and heavy. I have several stretch marks, and still have 3 months to go. Any advice?

Answer

i was 115 pounds before pregnancy and now at 27 weeks & 4 days i'm 143 pounds 😂😳

Answer

Try not to eat junk. Limit sugar. Be active. If you don't like the weight them work on a healthy plan to lose it after the baby comes. I was 19 when I had my son and I gained almost 70 lbs. I can tell you that the more weight you gain the worse you feel physically, even when you're young. I have about 18 lbs this time and I'm almost at 28 weeks. I really watch the scale but I eat pretty much what I want. Also...i hate people who have gained nothing ;)

Answer

As long as you're getting the nutrients you need, I wouldn't worry about weight gain. 
You'll know if you are healthy, you don't need a number on the scales to do that for you.

Answer

I have gained well over that in my pregnancy and my doctor hadn't said a word yet because my glucose test came back perfect and my blood pressure has been really good. I think as long as you're still relatively healthy, I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer

As long as your eating healthy, staying active and feel good don't worry. Trust your body to do what it needs to do to keep you and baby healthy and if your really worried don't be afraid to talk to the Dr.

Answer

Don't even worry about it! Easier said than done I know. I was 16 with my son, and I gained almost 60 pounds. My whole body swelled up in the absolute hottest summer we ever had. I have stretch marks on the backs of my knees because my legs swelled up. As long as the baby is healthy don't worry about it, just try to eat as healthy as you can. Everyone is different with the way they grow, so try not to compare yourself to others. I lost almost all the weight in the hospital, and not even 2 weeks after I had him my stomach was flat again, and besides the stretch marks I didn't even look like I just had a baby. I did not breastfeed or diet either. Good luck!!

Answer

I am 28 weeks 5 days and have gained between 26 and 28 lbs depending on the day. Hang in there it will come off after baby.
