Haha, with twins, my weight went up like a rocket! But remember your body is carrying extra fluid and a whole living being, so don't stress the scale.

Avantika Tanwar · Answer

It's a natural process, so don't waste time worrying about weight scales during office hours. Just focus on eating nutritious food and staying active.

Your body needs to gain weight to support the baby's growth. Eat healthy, avoid junk, and you will lose it gradually post-delivery anyway.

Well, partly because the baby is growing, and partly because those midnight ice cream cravings are real! Enjoy your food but keep it balanced.

It's not just fat, dear! The weight is a mix of the baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, increased blood volume, and breast tissue.
