Im in my second trimester and havent really gained much weight yet, eating normally but the scale is almost same. Now im wondering is weight gain actually necessary or am i overthinking. Is this normal yaar?
I had such terrible morning sickness that I barely gained any weight until the 6th month, and I was so scared. But my doctor assured me it's fine, and I eventually gained weight slowly once I could eat.
I felt so worried when I actually lost weight in my first trimester due to nausea, but eventually I gained around 10 kgs. It's beautiful how our bodies adjust to grow a life.
You definitely have to gain some weight because a growing baby and extra blood volume require it. Just eat healthy, stay active, and don't obsess over the numbers.
Yes, some weight gain is expected because of the baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid. However, how much you should gain really depends on your starting BMI, so don't compare yourself to others.
Haha yes, unless you are a magical unicorn, you will gain weight! Between the baby, the fluids, and my sudden midnight cravings, I gained a solid 14 kgs which I'm still trying to lose!
I just delivered last month and yes, weight gain is very normal. Most of it is just baby weight and water retention, which starts going away soon after birth anyway.
Yes, your body naturally stores some fat during pregnancy to help with breastfeeding later on. It's all part of nature's design, so embrace the changes gently.
Gaining weight is a healthy part of the process and it actually helped me stay strong for my normal delivery. Focus on eating nutritious food and don't stress about the scale.
When I look back at my pregnancy photos, I realize how much I stressed over gaining 12 kgs. Now my toddler is active and healthy, and all that weight was totally worth it!
