Im 5 months and already gained quite a bit, getting thoda worried im putting on too fast. I want healthy weight gain not extra. How did you all manage urs without going overboard?
To avoid expensive health complications and extra lab tests later, keeping weight in check is actually smart. I stuck to ghar ka khana like dal, roti, and green veggies which is cheap and healthy. No need for expensive organic supplements.
Gym routine? No thank you, I prefer the walk to my fridge! Jokes aside, just stay active with basic house chores and avoid eating for two, the baby only needs a little extra.
Cut out the processed sugar and junk food, that's where the useless weight comes from. Walk for 30 minutes daily after dinner and eat high-protein meals. It's not rocket science, just stay active.
Please don't be too hard on yourself, your body is doing something beautiful. The weight can always be lost later, I lost most of mine within six months of breastfeeding. Just eat healthy and nourish your little one.
Honestly, keeping a track is so hard when all you want to eat is street food! I try to balance my cravings with fruits and coconut water during the day. Don't restrict yourself too much, just keep portions small.
Normal weight gain is healthy and expected, so don't try to diet. Just make sure you are eating nutrient-rich foods and doing light physical activity daily. Discuss your target weight range with your doctor at your next scan.
I used to check my weight literally every morning and panic if it went up. Honestly, just focus on keeping your blood pressure and sugar levels normal. Talk to your doc if you feel you are gaining too fast, they will guide u.
My hospital nutritionist gave me a customized diet chart based on my BMI. I highly recommend asking your doctor or hospital dietitian for a proper plan. They track your weight gain at every visit anyway, so they know best.
I felt so insecure seeing my weight increase so fast in the second trimester, I literally cried. But then my doctor explained that it's mostly amniotic fluid, blood volume, and baby weight. That made me feel so much better.
I had such bad morning sickness that I actually lost weight initially. Once I could eat, I just focused on small, frequent meals instead of big ones. It helps with digestion and stops you from sudden weight gain.
