I'm almost 6 months along and gaining too much weight. I tend to eat healthy, maybe just more than absolutely necessary. I can't fully work out, I can't necessarily diet. what should I do?
@mama2bee I don't think there's anything you can do about the weight already gained. Just try and eat healthier and more protein that will keep you fuller longer. Also walk 3-4 times a week for 20-30mins.
I was 119 when I got preg with my son I was 180 when he was born. My daughter I gained 30. This one so far so good only 4lbs in 17 weeks but I've still got a long way to go. The problem with my son was to much salt. This time when I'm hungry and need to hold myself over I drink a v8 I get good vegies and it curbs the hunger
I think the younger you are the more weight you gain and the older you are, you gain less. My first 2 I gained so much! 80 lbs. The weight was hard to get off. I felt so old and achey because of it The last 2 ( in my later 30' s) I gained 5 pounds less than I was supposed to and felt much better through the whole thing. has anybody had a similar experience?
This is my first and I'm 31 weeks. I've gained about 45 pounds already. Id started out at 100 pounds and my dr seems to think its salts and starch. I try to eat healthy but salads and such just don't fill me up at all. I tend to eat more pasta than necessary. :"> and I walk everyday. I'm actually not too worried about it cuz I was under weight before I got preg. I just know I'll have to exercise a little more once my little man is born.
It's really hard for me as well. I was overweight my whole life and i worked hard and dieted and lost over 100lbs..and then i got preggo..well..i think my body was like "OMG foooood" and i wasnt able to do the hardcore hour+ of cardio i was used to, so weight is piling on!
@heatherlynn I was in a similiar situation I was overweight and lost about 80lbs and then found out I was prego. I weighed about 152 when I started and am almost 32wks I weigh 179 so I have gained about 27lbs (I try to walk but I can't lie I don't do it all the time and I eat so much fast food and still drink sodas) Oh well I am just going to work out as soon as I have my baby and heal.
I gained 70lbs with my first...went way overboard..so far I've stayed the same weight with this baby..hope not to gain much this time too hard to lose.
I haven't put on much weight at all this pregnancy even though i'm overweight it's less than they recommend. I eat all day and not exactly healthy lol. In total I put on 2 kg between week 12 and 36! So it really depends a lot of it could be on baby and breasts etc not you :-) oh and this is my second baby, 36 weeks and 1 day now.
I feel like I'm gaining too much also. I'm 16 weeks and I go visit my gym every 3 weeks and I gain 3 lbs each visit exactly. So that's 1 lb every week!! I don't even want to imagine how much weight I'm going to gain in total! I feel so depressed! And I'm a 2nd grade teacher and the kids all say " mam you look fatter already", and kids never lie! Ughhh...I wish I got out of work with energy to exercise, but I don't! I'm so drained with the duties of teaching. Anyone out there in the same boat? I feel alone!
