How Do Other Moms Handle Pregnancy Weight Gain Worries?
Moms, I'm so tired of thinking about my weight gain every time I eat a meal or look in the mirror. I love my pregnant body and my big belly (and so does my partner) but I'm stuck worrying my weight will be difficult to lose. Most people say not to worry and the cliche "it took 9 months to make the baby, it will take time to lose the weight as well" but let's be real, we ALL worry about our weight pregnant or not. My nutrition and baby's health come first and above all else. I have been eating healthy and I exercise 3 times a week minimum. My body just packed on the pounds, 50 pounds, and I know that's double the limit but I don't feel "fat" I just feel like a snuggly mom to be. What has the weight battle been like for you momma out there?

I think it's natural for women to gain more than 25 pounds . That's a crazy unrealistic goal our doctors set . It's like they have never had a baby before @beanieboo
idk I was 111 pre pregnancy now im like 150 somthing I feel big even tho the bump is all baby
@mmorrell15
Totally! And baby loves you for you and not what you look like. 💕💕
@willowsmomma whenever I'm feeling a little hard on myself, I just remind myself that I'm growing another precious human and that makes me feel a little better
Kateyez5 I'll keep you in my nondenominational prayers girl. Everything will be okay for you and your family. Stay strong
I'm 23 weeks and I've been robbed of joy this whole pregnancy for various reasons.
@mmorrell15 it sounds like your weight gain so far has been balanced. It feels like there is so much pressure to look a certain way and then seeing moms who look amazing weeks later is super discouraging. What is your go to serenity that makes you feel better about everything ?
@kateyez5 I know how you are feeling, like this weight gain is taking away the joy of pregnancy. I've found that every momma has had a weight gain struggle or surprise. You are totally not ugly or fat. I battle with those feelings too but I know that my little girl won't care what I look like and she is the number one person in my life right now! Your baby will love you no matter what!! How far along are you ?
I have struggled with my weight as well. With my daughter I lost all but 15lbs then with my son I lost all of the weight I gained but she is 7 and he is 5 and now we are pregnant with #3 and I'm worried how hard it will be to lose any weight gained
I'm struggling tremendously with my weight no matter how active I am the weight just continues I was 145 I'm 198 and it's depressing for me as I've never weighed this much in my life. I feel ugly and fat..
That's where i started off! I was 115. Now I'm 166. I totally had that fantasy like "oh I'll totally lose 30 pounds when I give birth" but that's just crazy lol. I think having wife hips is where it's at these days! Giving you the hour glass shape 👙
I went from 121 to 182 with my pregnancy. it took a long time for some of the weight to come off in the beginning. I was so depressed when I only lost like 10 pounds after I gave birth lmao. but other than that, it just kind of trims off slowly. you got the diet and exercise down just keep going with that. the hardest part I'm having is my hips are still wide so I still can't get into my old jeans. I am down to about 136 though and my son is 11 months old. I know I'll get there eventually!! you will too momma you're beautiful!
Most moms I've talked to have said the same thing, the second baby = less weight gain
Every pregnancy is different. With my daughter I gained 75lbs, with my son I gained 19lbs, so far this pregnancy (10 wks) I've gained nothing
the doctors havnt told me I gained too much so yah :( still think it crazy tho
