anyone significantly overweight? just curious what you may be doing to avoid gaining too much without jeopardizing your jellybean?
I should add that I am way overweight...so this is just to see what others may find successful. I know that weight gain is important to grow a healthy baby
@karmasmomma5409, so I'm not totally that big (got some weight I could lose) but by my bmi I'm "obese" (that's a joke though) anyways, I just tried to eat healthier and drink lots more water. also eat smaller snacks and meals throughout the day instead of the "normal" 3 big meals a day. I did lose some weight at the beginning of my pregnancy. my doctor's were never too concerned either. I think I only gained 10 or 15 pounds maybe through my pregnancy.
I started out at 260...and I have lost 30 pounds as of now in my pregnancy, and my midwives are actually pleased that I'm losing weight...the baby is growing perfectly and I'm getting a better diet and more water...no sodas...so it's all working out as it should.
i am a plus size woman and am 18 w 5d pregnant..honestly i have just been really careful with what i have been eating..i had to give up diary cause i developed a lactose intolerance so that has also helped to keep the weight gain down
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Weight Gain
What week are you and how much weight have you gained so far?
Weight gain
I'm 15w4d and I've gained about 6 lbs since the beginning of pregnancy. As long as the scale I just used is correct, I'm creeping up on 140. I had a mini freak out but I calmed myself down by telling myself it's normal. What has everyone else gained?
I know I've posted this before but when your water was leaking did it stay leaking or just with movements or what? Did you get contractions shortly after or no? I rolled out of bed and felt warmth leak out but Idk if it was possibly urine or what...never had it happen. It didn't smell like anything really...I know I should either call l&d or go in but I just want some experiences please. I want to wait a bit just in case it's nothing.
What do you mommas recommend for weight gain in a toddler? My son just had surgery and lost a lot of weight so i wanna help him gain some weight.
thanks ladies! I am adding more water and trying to cut out soda. it's kind of my weakness sadly but I can live without!!!
