Im almost 5 months and my weight is barely moving, everyone around me gained so much by now. I do eat properly but pet bahut zyada nahi bada. Is anyone else going through the same na?
I see this question so often here, and let me reassure you that it is very normal, especially if you had severe morning sickness early on. The baby is like a parasite, they will take whatever they need from your body! Just eat balanced meals, take your vitamins, and discuss it during your next checkup.
If you are working and constantly on your feet, you might be burning more calories than you realize. Practically, as long as your gynac is happy with your ultrasound reports, your weight on the scale doesn't matter. Just pack some healthy nuts and chana to munch on during office hours.
In my pregnancy, I actually lost weight initially because of gestational diabetes and a strict diet! Your baby will still get all the nutrition they need from your body. Just focus on eating healthy proteins and whole foods rather than trying to gain weight through sugary items, and keep your doctor updated.
If you track your baby's weekly growth on apps, you'll see they are very tiny in the first half of pregnancy, so you don't need to gain much early on. My app showed that most of the weight gain happens in the last few months. Just eat well and let the baby grow at their own pace!
Honestly, forget about those Bollywood movies where pregnant women double in size instantly. Everyone's body is different, and some women don't gain much weight until the third trimester. As long as your doctor says the baby's growth scans are normal, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
