I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant and I'm terrified of gaining too much weight like I did with my daughter. I gained a pound. That was it. I worry
Every pregnancy is different as well. With my daughter I stay the same weight until the end and I gained 20 pounds. I am almost 24 weeks now and I am still 25 pounds under my start weight at 3 weeks and 4 days when I found out. You never know what your body will do.
I don't think I'm reading this correctly. You're scared to gain to much weight like you did with your daughter but you only gained a pound while pregnant with your daughter?
My best advice is to have an open conversation with your doctor about your concerns. Cravings are hard to let go during pregnancy. My doctor suggested eating a salad before every meal to help with making healthy choices and to avoid over eating on anything else. Luckily for me I hated sweets during my pregnancies and ate mostly veggies anyways.
If you eat healthy you'll gain less and it will be easier to lose.
