I am into my 6th month of pregnancy and I have gained about 6 kgs…is that a lot? I have a tendency to put on weight really quick and I always have to keep a check but now, it’s just not something I can control…or so I think!
What’s weird is that I am gaining all over except that my belly isn’t showing much at all…:|…I wonder if I am ever gonna look pregnant and not just overweight!
Re: Too much weight gain?
i think you're fine! your doctor should be able to answer that more accurately but i think overall a 25-30 lb weight gain is considered normal and healthy while pregnant.
Re: Too much weight gain?
AliShaht, don't worry! Just eat like you normally do, but indulge if you feel the need... don't restrict yourself... it's one of the joys of pregnancy :)
Re: Too much weight gain?

Re: Too much weight gain?
As long as you eat healthy, I wouldn't even follow the guidelines. My gyne told me that they are lowering the figure from 25-35 pound weight gain to 15-25 pound weight gain!! It's not realistic. I put on a wopping 60 pounds by the time I was 9 months pregnant and I'm pretty sure I put on another 5 pounds in my final week.
I wouldn't follow the guideline only cause I've noticed that the taller you are, the more weight you put on. Quite a few girls in my height range put on 50+ pounds, but that was normal for their body/height which is why it came off.
I lost 50 pounds within 6 months and the last 10 are slowly coming off. Eat healthy and walk everyday and you'll be fine.

If you walk a lot during pregnancy, does it help somehow to lose the weight after baby is born? My 1st trimester I lost about 10 lbs. And once morning sickness went away, it seemed I gained weight overnight, but mostly in my belly. I still have about 2 1/2 months to go! I try to eat balanced meals, but have my binge days where I go nuts with cookies/cake etc.

I guess I don't feel so bad anymore. I wont mind as long as the weight would come off. I am taller myself and my mum thinks I can carry off the weight well. It's just that I can't stop thinking about it. I am trying to eat healthy but lately it's not working because I am over at my parent's place and there has been just too many get togethers which are all about food...
Re: Too much weight gain?
Afro, I think if you stay active, you will inshallah be fine. I was gaining weight so fast in my second trimester, like 5 pounds overnight. It was ridiculous. I made sure to walk as much as I could. Honestly, there were days where I couldn't even walk cause I had major sciatic pain down my left side from my hip down to my calf. Just rolling in bed would bring tears to my eyes .... but, the weight does come off.
Just don't expect it to come off overnight. It takes you 9 months to put the weight on. Give yourself 9-12 months to lose it! Don't beat yourself up over it.
Re: Too much weight gain?
Anybody who was actually overweight before getting pregnant? and not like 5-10 lbs...but like 40-60 over.
what was your recommended weight gain allowance?
if anyone was...do u feel u were judged unfairly for it?
^ I think they recommend a weight gain of no more than 15-25 pounds...
