I am 44 kg in my 16 weeks of pregnancy 😔 how to gain weight
You are brilliant at what you do, passionate and so informative ❤
Obese here and 14 weeks. Havent gained weight (yet). In fact, I've lost a few pounds since the first ultrasound. Obgyn isn't concerned. I'm taking prenatals, drinking water, and eating regularly.
I am a mom of four kids from three pregnancies. In my first pregnancy in 2015, I gained 35 pounds. By the end of that pregnancy, I had a tummy and some stretch marks on my hips, but I lost the weight afterward. I didn’t get pregnant again until 2022, and during that pregnancy, I gained another 40 pounds. After that, I decided to have back-to-back pregnancies and ended up keeping the extra 40 pounds. Currently, I weigh 20 pounds more than I did before and still have a tummy with some stretch marks around my hip area.
My husband doesn’t want me to lose the extra weight, and I feel happy about that because I can eat what I want, but I do it with control. Plus, my husband tells me how good I look with my extra pounds.
I’m 31 weeks now and iv gained 29 pounds im gonna diet again now and do my daily speed walking I’ll let u all know how it goes. This is my first baby as well and its a BOY 😊❤
I'm the absolute opposite I'm 15 weeks and I've lost 29 pounds since I was 4 weeks pregnant. My 1st appointment
I'm feel like death
We have weighed me within days after giving birth for the last couple (I'm currently pregnant with number 8) I immediately drop 30 lbs each time I give birth! It's crazy! 😅
Thank you so much! I've been really struggling with weight gain. Having grown up in the 90s when weight gain was the worst thing you could ever do as a woman, I know I need to put on weight for my baby, but I also feel like I'm failing at life, because I'm getting bigger. Seeings the numbers set out like that, and knowing what normal actually looks like has really helped my anxiety.
I'm 107 lbs and 5'5, so im underweight and I'm pregnant
im 25 weeks i was 61kg before pregnancy now im 68kg im scared to gain weight as my last 4 pregnancies i gained 30kg 🙁
I’m 20 weeks pregnant and just got called fat the other day.. the guy was arguing with my husband and said F you, and your fat wife! 😢
Great video, just what we were looking for 👍
I think I’m obsessing. My insurance company gave me a maternity nurse that I can speak to over the phone and in between my OB appointments. She asked how much weight I gained. About 6 lbs the first 15 weeks. She said “woah mama, slow down.” I’ve been second guessing myself since.
Please consult with a medical provider and/or registered dietitian nutritionists on weight gain during pregnancy,
Im 5 months and have gained 11 pounds 😢😢😢
I aIways found it inexcusable for a woman to gain 200 lbs. to have an 8 lb. baby. I always knew that a growing fetus did not need 4 cheeseburgers and a half gallon of ice cream everyday.
I know I'm commenting a little late, but I'm 18 weeks pregnant. I lost 30 pounds before I got pregnant, which put me at 200lbs at 5'2". I still wanted to lose close to another 30 pounds, but then I got pregnant, which is great! But now that I'm 18 weeks pregnant, I've barely gained 7 pounds, and now I've started losing weight the last month. I don't know what to do. I'm not dieting anymore. I eat at least 6 meals a day, mostly healthy (I do eat the occasional burger, but not often). I just don't feel hungry, and i often have to push myself to eat. I don't know what to do.
My doctor told me 17 pounds and that sounded way off to me
I'm 39 weeks and gained 30 pounds so far. I am 5'7" and weighed 135 pre pregnancy. I'm pretty much all belly but ive noticed my hips and thighs have gotten a bit thicker
This BMI info is so outdated… doctors are leaning to women not gaining so much during pregnancy 50 lbs is huge! There r women who are vloging their pregnancy weight gain their number are so much less 25 lbs or less… during my pregnancy I’m still eating healthy and working out
i gained pretty much weight after pregnancy i was before pregnancy 59 kg then i lost a lot of weight 6 kg. And then i gained 22 pounds then i lost it i as 56 kg 2 weeks after pregnancy and then i gained 27 pounds because i ate normal again and now the last 3 years i lost 8 kg maby a little more. I am happy. But not there yet
lol bmi how ignorant are you according to the american bla bla bla your just reading
My second pregnancy here, I’m only 4wks and gained 7lbs since last week while working out and eating the same. I am freaking out.
Kg please 🙏🏻
My grandma told me she gained 75+ lbs when she was pregnant. She said her legs were very bloated, as well as other parts of her body. After she gave birth, she peed it all out immediately after. It was all water and it all went away! This was a special case, but it does happen, but we shouldn’t worry. Now that I’m pregnant, I haven’t noticed anything so far, still early but I think it’s going to be a very easy pregnancy 🙂
I'm at 26 weeks and have so far gained 35 pounds and I stress about weight constantly especially since I am 5'9" and normal 145. I exercise and eat healthy whole foods but have had an immense appetite. I'm trying to let go of my worries. There's no weight I can't lose after but there's only so much I can do while pregnant. Just trying to let go of my fears everyday since this is my first and have never went through such a huge body change in my life.
I've always struggled to gain weight which seems to be the opposite problem of 99.9% of women. My question is though, does your appetite increase naturally during pregnancy? In the first trimester I'm feeling nauseous but am hoping my appetite will pick up soon. It seems most women have no issue indulging every craving but I've never been that type of person, instead ive always had a modest appetite and a lean body shape. I love healthy food though and find it tastes better than fried fatty stuff which I'm guessing is a positive in this situation.
bridget teyler I already lose weight and I still live parents my house is not safe for me not to gain weight
