Almost halfway through and my weight is barely moving, everyone keeps telling me im too thin. I do eat but maybe not enough. Koi healthy ways to gain weight without junk?
Don't panic! I didn't gain any weight till 5 months and was crying daily thinking my baby is not growing. But my doctor said it's totally normal, and suddenly in the third trimester, my weight went up. Just eat healthy, the weight will come!
Eating small, frequent meals is the trick. Include full-fat milk, paneer, eggs, and dry fruit laddoos in your daily diet. Keeping myself active with walks and eating nutritious food helped me have a very smooth normal delivery.
To increase weight healthily, you need to focus on nutrient-dense foods rather than empty calories. My doctor told me to add protein like dals, chicken, and paneer, along with healthy fats like nuts and ghee. This ensures the baby gets the right nutrition.
It is so hard when you have bad nausea and can't even stand food. I found that eating small portions of banana, milkshakes, or roasted makhana was easier to keep down. Don't force heavy meals, just eat small high-calorie snacks throughout the day.
Please make sure you discuss this with your gynecologist during your next scan to check if the baby's growth is on track. I had complications where my baby wasn't gaining weight properly, so we had to monitor it closely with medical tests rather than just eating more.
