You should be ok with what you've gained just try to get more exercise in.
@babyr061616, I'm 5'5" and was 155 lbs when I got pregnant, my doc said that's slightly overweight for my height. Told me to try to keep my weight gain to 15-20 lbs max. I haven't gained anything yet because I cut a lot of stuff out. I'm 14 weeks. I try to exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes.
she hasn't said anything I just worry about weight in general
The average weight gain is 40 pounds but if you're a little on the heavy side to start with you should try to not gain as much. Unless your doctor has said otherwise you should be fine
I will start eating better I have never been a very healthy eater to start
am I going to be okay at where I'm now? its all belly and boobs my boobs are so so so heavy they have grown 2 cup sizes and I was a F to start @indigenousmommy @meboom01
Stay active, less fried and processed foods, more raw and cooked veggies. Watch portion sizes. I know it's hard, I gained 60 pounds my first pregnancy because I ate way too much and I ate unhealthy foods majority of the time.
Cut out any sweets and try not to eat as many carbs.
Weight Gain
What week are you and how much weight have you gained so far?
I am 26weeks and I have already gain 20 pounds. 🙂🤔 Hey Mommy's and Mommy's to be, how much weight have u gain already??
I'm 12 weeks and my doctor said I should have gained 10 pounds by now and I've gained 1. Anyone else have problems with gaining weight in the beginning?
How much have you ladies gained during your pregnancy? I'm 34 weeks and have gained 50 lbs :( but was also 10 - 15 lbs underweight when I got pregnant
@babyr061616, don't be hard on yourself then. Just make some changes with your diet since you're already moving around more. Good luck!! 😊
