Im in my 5th month and the weight is climbing fast, gynac also said to keep a check. Im not trying to lose, just dont want too much extra. How do you all stay in a healthy range without starving?
Weight gain is normal, but my doctor told me a healthy gain is around 11-15 kg if your pre-pregnancy BMI is normal. She advised focusing on nutrient-dense foods like eggs, paneer, and whole grains instead of eating for two.
Don't waste money on fancy organic diet programs. Just stick to home-cooked dal, roti, and green veggies. Walking daily is free and keeps you fit, plus helps avoid costly complications during delivery.
It's hard to manage diet with a hectic work schedule, but I kept healthy snacks like roasted makhana and fruits handy. Avoid ordering junk food during office hours, and take short walk breaks between meetings.
Beta, don't worry about weight right now. Your body is growing a whole human! Just eat healthy meals, walk for 20 minutes daily, and avoid heavy sweets. We will look after weight loss after baby comes.
I gained 18 kg during pregnancy but lost most of it naturally while breastfeeding. Don't restrict your food right now, just eat wholesome meals and avoid deep-fried snacks. Your baby needs the nourishment.
