pregnancy weight gain?

Hi! 30 weeks now and i have gained a good amount of weight about 30 pounds. I am definitely not proud of it sure but im also growing a baby lol. I still walk everyday, i go to gym no crazy workouts though mostly stretching and moderate to light workouts. BUT my obgyn said she was surprised i go to gym because i have gained a lot of weight😐. I definitely eat a good amount so i get it. What do i do, i have always been a very emotional eater and being pregnant makes me very high anxiety and susceptible to more eating. is this normal for others?

This is very normal, I mean personally I gained 40 pounds. Your weight can drop down after you give birth. You’re growing a human inside of you. Normal to gain weight. Isn’t really something you should focus on or be insecure about. Also if it was a “problem” with your weight gain, your OB would notify you. You don’t have to over indulge in certain items for sure but if your body is saying it’s hungry eat. Maybe try not to eat super late at night. Also you’re 30 weeks. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

It is normal but in my case, I also gained about the same. Now after 6 months postpartum, I did an annual bloodwork and realized I had Hypothyroidism. Maybe ask your doctor to check.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Pregnancy is a really challenging time and you are growing a baby. Be gentle with yourself during this time. Once baby is born you can consider options to lose the weight but for now don't stress about it.

My ob told me to watch my weight also. I went from 145 to 190 and she told me to watch it around 160-170 pounds and I was 30 weeks. As soon as I gave birth I dropped to 170 ish and was losing 3 pounds a week. I’m 4 months PP and down to 140. Honestly, don’t listen and be hard on yourself unless you have previous health issues or gestational diabetes. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t worry.

I gained 90lbs eatting clean, working out, and getting 14k+ steps daily at work! My mom gained 70lb each pregnancy and my OB said that it’s usually genetic and as along as your glucose test is negative and your BP is normal it’s no cause for concern. ❤️ I lost 25lbs in the 3 days after delivery!

Don’t worry about it! I gained 50 pounds while pregnant and still tried to take care of myself but it’s gonna happen. I’m the same way with eating and I’m still alive and healthy lol. Enjoy your cravings and your pregnancy don’t worry too much.
