I'm trying to eat healthy but I'm still gaining weight....Did this happen to you?

Question

I woke up at 4:10am and so far I've had...

4:15 coffee

5:45 two eggs w/ white toast (no butter).

7:00 1/2 apple and cake dognut...no frosting. Glass of apple juice.

Answer 1

I know exactly what you're talking about. I am a Type 2 diabetic and the doctor and dietitian put me on a strict diet. I'm still gaining weight faster than they want me to. I don't understand how, though. Best of luck to you and your baby!

Answer 2

Me too, I'm 29 weeks pregnant.  I am putting on wt (normal amount) but I can't imagine how.  I eat just as much as I did before I was prego. 2 meals a day, (not a breakfast person) I too wonder why I am putting on wt so fast.  I'm hoping I'm just having at 23 lb baby :)

Best wishes

Answer 3

dont you think babys weigh anything????..and it's good you eating healthy but dont try dieting or cutting back on food if you are hungry-eat...

Answer 4

dont worry, your fine. I'm 26 weeks and gained 41 pounds so far. I should be concerned. Keep eating healthy and dont worry.

Answer 5

I wouldn't worry too much unless you're at risk for diabetes. From what I understand, gaining a pound a week at this point is what's recommended. I would watch the donuts however. Even without the frosting, a cake donut is cooked in pure fat. It may be a good idea to switch to a baked pastry (ask your baker) or a good cup of fruit. The rest of your breakfast sounds fine to me.

Answer 6

17 pounds isnt that much. you are doing good. and you are more than half way through your pregnancy
