Im in second trimester but my weight is barely going up, doc said baby needs me to gain more. I eat but feel like nothing sticks. What helped you all put on healthy weight?
My toddler keeps me on my toes now, but back then I was so worried about not gaining enough weight! Honestly, as long as your scans are fine, don't worry, the weight will come gradually.
In my joint family, my saas kept feeding me ghee, dry fruits, and bananas to increase weight. Eating small portions of healthy homemade food frequently really helped me gain slowly.
Stop stressing over the scale. Just eat balanced meals with good proteins, dairy, and whole grains. If your baby's growth in scans is fine, your weight doesn't need to double.
Add bananas, milk, and dates to your daily diet, these are great natural ways to gain. But if you have severe vomiting or can't keep any food down, please consult your doctor immediately.
Focus on nutrient-dense foods like nuts, avocados, dairy, and eggs rather than empty sugars. Keep track of your weight gain trend and discuss it with your gynac during your routine checkups.
Please check with your gynac first to see if your current weight is actually low for your BMI. They can suggest safe protein powders or a diet chart according to your body's needs.
