Dreading weight gain

schrodie2

I gained about 60 pounds with my first pregnancy.  I had no nausea, craved EVERYTHING, and didn't really limit my food intake.  This time around, I'm super scared to gain weight due to the fact I'm not a huge fan of working out and I keep hearing it's so hard to lose weight the second time.  I'm eating way healthier with little to no fast food but I have to ask, does anyone else have this fear? 

With my first pregnancy, I couldn't wait to start showing.  Now I'm hoping I won't show till around the same time as my first.

Im on a strict only gain 15-20 lbs. This is due to already having a little extra weight. So far I have lost 10 due to be sick. But I totally get feeling hungry all the time. I just try to stick with fruit. Baby likes it alot....especially cantalope. I am not a huge exercise fan either, but I love walks. Good luck.

Snap! In dreading it too, I gained about 45lbs with DD and really hoping I don't put that much on this time but can't stop eating! I've managed to lose 35lb during the last year by running alot and doing excercise but my whole attitude towards food have changed since finding out in preg and all I seem to do is pick! Seriously gotta try an maintain it this time but it's so hard x

I am soooo dreading it as well, with my first DD I only gained maybe 20lbs and lost all baby weight maybe a month after giving birth. with my second DD I gained like 60lbs and kept 50 after I had her......I was soooo depressed and I am not able to jump around and workout due to a prolapsed bladder plus I hate it, so I am screwed. I have little to no MS which is not helping not that I want MS but I am able to eat more.....AND I am already like 30lbs before overweight before I got prego

I only gained 27 lbs with DD, but I lost 11 lbs right away because of m/s. I don't have m/s this time around, so I'm worried my weight gain is going to be more.

It's not a huge deal to me, but if history repeats itself, I won't loose any of the baby weight until I stop BFing, and I plan on doing that for a year.... so yeah, I don't really want an extra 30 lbs for a year again. I didn't really diet while BFing, but I did try to make healthy choices, and exercised, and lost zero pounds until a few weeks after DD transitioned to cow's milk. I'd also like to hold off on showing- but mainly because I don't like all the attention that my bump gets.

This is my first pregnancy and I'm not scared of gaining weight, but just too much weight. I am trying my best to make healthy choices about 80% of the time. I've been eating mostly vegetarian for the past week and a half, but it's more because meat and poultry hasn't seemed that appealing in most forms.

But I am trying to be conscious about getting enough liquids in, vitamins and minerals and trying hard to eat more fruits and veggies. It's like a few weeks ago I could eat 4 clementines in one sitting and now I can hardly pick up the apples in my house. I'm trying to get back on board with dark leafy greens (I usually love them) but at this point, I'm aiming to at least eat two vegetables a day. Not enough, but I'm just trying to hard to have a mostly balanced diet.

I've been nauseous, so its helping to curb my appetite (for now).  I'm really going to try and eat the same as I did prepregnancy so I don't gain too much.

I don't want to gain weight, but know its inevitable.  I'm actually excited to show quicker this time.  Right now I just feel chubby.

The majority of my family members are heavier set and I've always worked really hard to keep myself healthy in spite of genetics, so yes, gaining weight is a little scary especially since I'm really not into dieting! I know it's inevitable though so I just have to get on the ball now and after the baby is born and work to make healthy meal choices and find a workout routine that works for me. Hopefully we will all be around to motivate each other!

I am having the hardest time wrapping my mind around gaining weight. I'm a FTM and I lost 30lbs before getting pregnant. Gaining the weight back is making me very nervous. I'm maintains my workout routine and eating as healthy as I can to my weight gain reasonable.

I gained more than I wanted to last time (40 lbs) mainly because I was in my last months over the holidays and I dove right on in!  I haven't work out AT ALL in the year since dd was born but I am still 5lbs below my pp weight.  This time I have zero muscle and I am pretty sure I am going to sort of blob out, just, expand. I am terrified because of all the horror stories my friends have told be of 2nd pregnancy weight gain, and how hard it is to get it off, but I have started a good work out routine, so hopefully I can tone if up a little and have a faster recovery.

I gained a lot of weight with my first one. My second one I only gained about 15 pound and weighed less after having him than I did before i got pregnant. This time i am having triplets so I have to gain some. I have a few 'extra' pounds as it is and I am not looking forward to gaining any but I don't have much choice. Still waiting for my OB to tell me how much I should gain to still be healthy and not over due it.
