Re: Pregnancy weight gain
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Just eat healthy and exercise moderately. Pregnancy means you're going to gain some weight. If you're really concerned about the weight you can talk to your doctor who can recommend healthier meal options. And remember that each pregnancy is different. I gained a lot of weight early in my pregnancy and didn't gain to much later on.
I do think though that you should stop worrying about your sisters wedding. More then likely you're not going to be able to be back to your pre-pregnancy weight for the wedding and even if you are the shape of your body will change. Don't worry about the wedding just focus on the baby, and if you can try putting off getting clothes made until closer to the wedding so you're not disapointment at the fit.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
The weight will eventually come off IA. Like Ramsha said dont worry about your sister's wedding. With my first pregnancy i gained 50 lbs and i ate everything i wanted to. This time, i am staying moderate and like you, have gained over 25 lbs at 24 weeks, same as last time. My body is still gaining the same way and i know i am not over eating. But this time i am not going to stress out about it. Its not worth it.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
be glad that you are gaining weight and that you can eat whatever you want.. I lose weight in the first trimester but then I gained 16 pounds in the second trimester- that was the best time of my life.. I was eating whatever I felt like but most of it was healthy.. in third trimester I was diagnosed with gallstones, put on a very restricted diet and I started to lose weight.. which had me worried for the baby! But I am doing good now with my weight gain!
Also at the end, you dont gain much weight in last few weeks so no worries.. second trimester is the best one so enjoy food :-)
Re: Pregnancy weight gain

Re: Pregnancy weight gain
Pregnant women are supposed to increase their caloric intake....and I can't remember the number (200? 300?) but it's not huge...and how much weight the doctor recommends you gain can depend upon how much you weighed before hand.
You havne't really mentioned what you've been eating. Reflect over your diet. It is most filling in the form of junk food that is loaded with fat, sugar, and calories. Or is your diet filling in the form of more healthy foods that are low in calories ....but are contain a good amount of fiber, protein, and nutrients....things that keep you feeling full longer. Think about if you're going over the limit.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
Have u seen the pregnant version of Aishwarya Rai? She, too, has gained weight on her face. You’re pregnant…you’re not gonna look like a supermodel…and I believe that most people do and will UNDERSTAND that (even people at the wedding).
I’ve put on a few pounds…and I feel ugly…but I have NO excuse for my carelessness, 
You, on the other hand, have more of a reason. With your condition, these changes are expected…and I can understand that they can do a real number on your self-esteem…but it’s part of the process. Just implement healthier changes in your diet, get some appropriate exercise, check with your doctor as to how much you’re supposed to gain and he/she can offer suggestions for diet management…and inshaAllah when you’ve had your baby…you’ll get on track again.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain

Re: Pregnancy weight gain
Hey miss khan
Sorry I'm a bit delayed I too am 28 weeks alhamdulilah with my 2nd baby and boy have I put on weight!! I feel soo depressed- its easy for others to say it dsnt matter but u can't help it wen u can feel ur thighs rubbing together and see ur face turning into a football lol I have the same problem I put on weight on my face and butt!
First time round I lost all the weight and went back to normal size pretty quickly so I'm hoping the same will happen this time round- ESP as its my best friends wedding 2months after my baby is due- so again wer in the same situation.
The trouble with me is that I feel hungry all the time n I love junk food and take aways and to b honest I can't complain about weight becos Iv been eating like a cow since I found out so I too have gained 2 stones already aahh I keep telling myself it's for the baby lol so it's ok
Dot worry too much and lets hope we can lose it quickly inshallah x

Re: Pregnancy weight gain
I gained a total of 37 lbs...and lost 27lbs in the first two weeks :D but my baby was 8lbs 4oz. Still as long as u have been healthy i think u wuld have more water weight thn anything. I have been breastfeeding so the rest of ten lbs ll have to wait.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
Rabia did u do anythng in particular that u lost 27lbs in first 2 weeks???
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
NOPE...I had a c-section so really couldn't do anything.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
Hi Mizz Khan
I gained a lot of weight in pregnancy too. You will lose about 20lbs as soon as the baby is born. For example, if you gain around 30 pounds when you are 9 months then you will only be 10lbs overweight. If you gain more than 30lbs you will still only lose about 20lbs initially. The rest you have to lose on your own. I wish someone told me this when I was pregnant.
For your sister's wedding, you can always wear a saree. I'm sure you'll look great!
Don't worry about the weight gain now. Just focus on your health and giving your baby the nutrition he/she needs.
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
hey,
sorry for the delayed reply, oh you poor thing, keep taking iron tablets- they make you hungry & constipate u at the same time- im anaemic so have to take iron tablets too.
oh my God iv eaten soo much today, feel depressed but feel like eating more lol my bum and face r so chubby! im really hoping i can lose it. first time round il be honest i kinda starved myself for a bit lol its the only way! i also had roze to make up cos i had missed them due to sickness in pregnancy which really helped with getting back to eating normal.
just keep telling urself that u will lose it- thats what i do (while eating a packet of biscuits) lol we will! dont worry xx
Re: Pregnancy weight gain
