the weight talk....

avo_qween · June 2011

so I went to the DR on Friday and she gave me the you have gained too much weight talk----I was doing sooo good, then I guess I just ballooned. I hadn't even noticed a cahnge in how my clothes were fitting. Does anyone have any advice on how they are maintaining their weight gain????

thanks!!! Big Smile

Ugh the dreaded weight talk. My normal dr had the talk with me before I was even pregnant and I just the talk again at my last appointment. I have a weakness for delicious fast food. I've just tried to avoid fast food and if I do go to mcdonalds I get a salad or grilled chicken wraps instead of a burger and fries. Not sure if it has helped but I like to think it is.

I go to the doc tomorrow and I am dreading it! I have gained about 20-22 pounds total, but 8 of it in the last month! I am trying to be more active by walking, but it is sooooo hot outside that I can't really handle it. I feel like I have been doing better with my eating, but still give into sweet cravings like ice cream. So frustrating!

I have a feeling it is coming at my Friday appointment. I haven't been keeping up with the gym, or any exercise really, and have been giving in more and more to sweets and delicious wonderful ice cream.

I can just say - try to eat good things (fruits and veggies and lean meats) and try to exercise a few days a week (just a nice 30 minute walk in the evenings). I have gained about 18 lbs so far and I know more is on the way. I think they more freak out if you go from one month to the next with a big jump in weight as opposed to gaining a high number total over the entire 9 months. I'm hoping my weight gain slows down now because my appetite sure has. It's so hot here that it makes it really hard for me to want to walk in the evenings! Good luck.

would it be acceptable for me to start a post about how much weight we have gained so far? or is everyone going to kill me?

I just don't think there is any reason to compare, there are so many factors that make any weight appropriate for one person or way too much or too little for someone else.

Try not to be too hard on yourself and look forward to "doing better" for the next appointment. It's definitely hard not to give in to those sweet cravings but it's ok to indulge every now and then. Like the other ladies said, try to incorporate 20-30 mins of exercise a few days a week. If it's too hot out or you don't have a gym to go to, try going to your local library and checking out some prenatal fitness dvds. That's what I do for those days after I get home from work and just the THOUGHT of going back out makes me tired all by itself. I just pop in a pregnancy pilates dvd, work out for 20-30 mins and get it over with.

personally i dont mind... everyone knows what you gain depends on your pre-pregnancy weight, your health, your doctors recommendations, etc. it would probably make a lot of people feel better to see how many of us have gained a bunch

I have an appt. on friday and have been eating like a horse this month. FEAR!

I'm going to start going walking in the local pool. I can't walk that far on the ground because of some back problems. I am hoping this helps.
