Ive already put on quite a bit and im only in my 2nd trimester. Some friends say they barely gained, makes me wonder if its in our control or just depends on body. Honestly feeling a little low about it.
Honestly it varies a lot person to person, with my hormonal stuff my body behaved differently than my friend's. Dont compare your weight gain with others. Let your doctor guide your range, that worked best for me.
With doctor's ok, I did light walks and prenatal yoga and it really helped keep gain steady. But it's not about reducing, baby needs you to gain. Goal is healthy, not less.
My gynac said pregnancy isnt the time to actively lose weight, but you can manage how much you gain with balanced eating and activity. How much each person needs to gain depends on their starting weight, so its different for everyone. She gave me a target range to stay within.
You can keep gain in a healthy range yaar, but 'reduce' is the wrong goal. I just avoided junk, walked when I could fit it in, ate proper meals. Dont diet, focus on eating clean and your gain stays sensible.
