Im in my second trimester and the weight is going up really fast, doc bhi mentioned it last visit. I eat fairly normal so im confused. How did u all keep it in check without starving?
Keeping weight in check when you are busy with office is hard. I used to pack pre-cut cucumbers, apples, and nuts for my office desk so I wouldn't order junk. Simple meal-prep on weekends really saves you from eating extra calories.
Gaining too much weight can lead to complications like gestational diabetes, which means extra blood tests and expensive specialist consultations. Stick to simple ghar ka khana like dal, roti, and green veggies. It's cheap, healthy, and keeps unnecessary hospital costs away.
Honestly, I am in my third trimester and looking at water makes me gain weight now! But seriously, don't starve yourself. Just cut down on those midnight sweet cravings (hard, I know!) and focus on portion control.
I kept obsessing over my weight scale every single week and got so anxious. Please don't stress too much as long as your gynac says baby is growing fine. Just try to replace deep-fried snacks with roasted makhana or fruits to stay on the safer side.
You don't need to 'eat for two', that's an old myth. Just eat normal nutritious home-cooked meals and keep walking for 30 minutes daily. Avoid high-sugar drinks and sweets, and your weight gain will naturally stay in a healthy range.
