Just entered 2nd trimester and the appetite is crazy these days, im hungry all the time. My MIL keeps saying eat for two but i dont want to put on too much that becomes hard to lose later. How did you ladies keep it in a healthy range?
Dont eat for two, thats the biggest myth. I just ate normal home food, more protein and fruits, cut down on fried and sweets. Gained healthy with both my kids.
Dont obsess over the scale yaar. I just ate sensible, lots of dal sabzi, less junk. The weight came off after delivery slowly, dont panic about it now.
I had to watch my weight closely because of sugar issue. Small frequent meals helped, and I switched to fruit instead of mithai. But pls let ur doctor decide your target weight, everyone is different.
Some weight gain is needed and healthy for baby, so dont stress too much. My gynac gave me a range to stay in and weighed me each visit. Best to follow what your doctor suggests for your body.
Honestly portion control did it for me, not starving. I kept cut fruits and roasted chana at desk so I wouldnt grab samosa. Light walk after dinner too if doc allows.
