Im only in 4th month and already gained quite a bit, everyone keeps commenting na. I know weight gain is normal but I dont want to put on extra unnecessary kilos. How do u all manage without starving the baby?
Dear, after a long journey to get pregnant, I realized our bodies change for a beautiful reason. Focus on nourishing your baby with healthy fats and veggies rather than worrying about the scale right now.
Haan, weight toh badhega hi na, baby health ke liye zaroori hai. Bass meetha aur oily food thoda kam khao aur ghar ka healthy khana khao, excess fat nahi chadhega.
Just stay active! I did 30 minutes of walking daily till my last week and ate normal home-cooked food. Gaining 10-12 kg is totally normal and actually goes away quickly postpartum.
Don't fall for the 'eating for two' myth. You only need about 300 extra clean calories in the second and third trimesters, so eat healthy portions and keep moving.
I completely understand feeling anxious about your body changing, it's hard to accept sometimes. Just take it easy, keep up with light walks, and remember that some weight gain is safe and normal.
I also worry about this sometimes, but I read that gaining some weight is actually healthy for the baby. Maybe focusing on light walks and nutritious food can help manage it gently.
Oh, I was so stressed about gaining too much weight and getting gestational issues! Please don't restrict your food, just try to avoid junk and have frequent small meals instead of huge ones.
