Why Do Pregnant Women Gain So Much Weight? 😳🤰

I started out pregnancy obese (unless my body fat is a bit lower than I think but I don’t have an accurate way to calculate) and I’ve gained 26 pounds at 8 months. This feels like a lot. She is big though.

30 pounds?! 30?! I wish!!!

You are a force for good out there with the info you share. Thank you!

I was at 110 pre pregnancy and I’m current 150 at 35 weeks. Im literally on the verge of tears because of what my doctor wrote in my chart, without discussing it with me. This explains so much and puts me at ease. I think I can sleep comfortably tonight. Thank you 🩷

But why does the amount of weight recommended or normal is different based on the mother’s pre pregnancy weight?

I was born about 8+ pounds and my sister was 9+ pounds 😅

I gained 50 lbs with my first. And 40 lbs with my second. I’m currently trying to lose 20 lbs. 😂 get back to my prepreg weight which is 120’s.

I gained exactly 30 pounds with my boy pregnancy and 24 pounds with the girl pregnancy. I could shed the weight immediately after delivery❤❤❤

I got 22 pounds, lost 15 in 2 weeks after birth

Did people not understand this one before?

It's smarter than you are

I'm new here do U have children Emmie

This is why doctors consider pre-pregnancy weight more important during pre-natal check-ups! The weight gained during pregnancy is a variable that differs from each woman and most of the time isn't the source of the problem.

Thank you ive been looking for this recipe everywhere as a man i dont have a uterus but now i can finally invent my own baby. Btw can i substitute the placenta with baloon pipe to supply food to baby? Love this recipe 10/10😊

It’s hard being a single mother when you have no kids and you’re a dude trust me guys ✌️

I have to ask these people, do they think growing a child is easy? It sure doesn't spawn out of no where that's for sure.

Thank you for this! 😊 Your videos are the best; simple straight forward and SO insightful! Luv your content! ❤

Not to mention the babies that decide to be over achievers 😂

What of I was only 3 pounds…

I gained exactly 30lbs for my pregnancy!

I had an 8 lb baby…but way more than 6 lb energy stores i tell you what 😂 gained 50 lb with both babies, but lost it all in the first 6 months doing nothing but going on walks and breastfeeding.

women get so much shame for putting on weight but then "dad bods" are praised and they didn't even do the work

Got some news to share with us em?

I was 2.2

I gained 61 lbs and when I left the hospital they weighed me again and I was back to 100lb that was my first baby

I needed that. Thank you 🙏🏽

I gained north of 40 and still looks like all belly! ❤ But also breastfeeding will take a lot of energy, I'm excited to see what my body does. It's a fascinating journey ❤❤❤

What about the remaining 40? 😂

i wanna know who’s only gaining 30lbs.. I’ve topped 60+lbs both pregnancies 😭

Does it change for weight of baby because my son was/ is huge

So how can this weight be reduce to your normal weight like before ? Like after birth 7 pounds down instantly but what aabout the other’s? It will shrink on their own or we need to do diet but i have a question that if we follow a diet throughout the pregnancy journey we still gain weight because it’s nature but for shredding that weight we need to do the diet but can we just by doing the same diet routine like in pregnancy or before pregnancy works?

Yep. Pregnancy weight gain IS NOT necessarily bad weight gain! This is why I didn't pressure myself to crash diet postpartum, because I knew this was entirely different.

Wow I didn't know this. That's so empowering. ❤❤❤

Wow that's really interesting and explains a lot

I really love your videos and learn a lot

WOAH ok that explains it

30? I gained 60
