Im in my 5th month and already gained quite a bit, everyone at ghar keeps commenting. I dont want to lose, just want to keep it in a healthy range. How did u all manage?
Weight gain is very normal, but trying to control it on your own can sometimes restrict important nutrients for your baby. Please do not start any diet or exercise without asking your gynac first. Your doctor can give you a safe diet plan based on your current health.
A healthy pregnancy requires some weight gain, so please don't aim to lose weight right now. The best approach is to focus on nutrient-dense foods like proteins and fiber rather than empty calories. Your gynecologist or a clinical nutritionist can guide you on the exact calorie intake you need.
I can only share what worked for me, which was replacing fried snacks with roasted makhana and taking light walks after dinner. I didn't worry too much about the scale as long as my doctor said baby's growth was on track. Every body responds differently during these nine months.
I'm currently planning my pregnancy and this is one of my biggest worries too, since I already struggle with weight. Is it really possible to manage it with just a normal healthy diet? I'd love to know what experienced moms do from the start.
It is so natural to feel worried about all the rapid changes in your body, especially after everything you've been through to get here. Just focus on eating clean, nourishing foods and staying gently active. Please be kind to yourself, and talk to your doctor about what weight range is healthy for you.
I am in my 6th month and honestly, I am gaining weight so fast too! I try to go for 20-minute walks and eat fruits instead of sweets, but some days are just hard. Are you doing any specific exercises or is it mostly about diet for you?
