My doctor wants me to gain 15 lbs this pregnancy and idk how to manage that. Im known to just eat…

i had a 15lb limit too

between gains and losses I'm only up 6lbs

its actually really easy

i feel like once babies nutrition need picked up my body just shifted everything to him

Just remember, you are not eating for two. You will get to a point where you can eat and eat and not get full. But just know your regular portion is plenty for you and baby! @liz41395

Girl just trust yourself, eat smaller meals try to grab fruit(easier said then done I know) but honestly you can eat anything (not raw) as long as you drink tons of water

I had a " maintain you're weight goal" and so far I lost 30 and gained only 3 so that it's not too hard to do!

according to my nutritionist, in your first trimester you don't really need to eat any more or gain much weight. from the middle of the second trimester to the third you only need about 300cals more than normal. I'm halfway through my pregnancy and have only gained half a pound. between appetite loss and morning sickness in the first trimester and working/staying active, I've kept weight off without even trying. try to buy healthier options and fruit and if you do snack on junk foods (we all do) just try to portion them out to where they're smaller size snacks.

Don't give into every craving you have... It's easy to make excuses for ourselves when it comes to eating shit food during pregnancy.

They are begging me to gain weight, which I feel is weird, because baby girl is measuring a week big.... I have lost almost 20lbs since I got pregnant..... they are just trying to keep my calories up, its hard when you don't feel like eating, or eating makes you sick. I work as a swim instructor, so its a high calorie burner, but low impact, so I have been able to keep working my normal hours.... i feel you, the struggle is real for all of us... I would gladly take the weight if you want to send it my way!

@kitkat93, it's on the way. But if baby is growing they need to stop stressing your fine.

@liz41395, sweet! thats what I keep saying!! I don't understand.... they might be putting me on modified bedrest, on monday, so no more work... :( that should put on the weight... I dont necessarily want to gain much, I feel awesome right now. :)

My doctor told me If I didn't gain or lost it would be okay as long as baby was growing at the right pace @kitkat93
