PREGNANT AND GETTING MASSIVE!!!

Alibarbar · 12-07-2004, 06:39 AM

Hi there

Please please please help- I got married in the summer and to be fair I was off atkins' and eating anything which wasn't nailed down...... but I am now 12 weeks pregnant and have tried to eat more healthy - ie lots for fresh fruit etc etc etc - but have actually piled on another 9lb..... at my lowest atkins' weight I was 128 I am now 156 and really don't want to gain loads but I do want to have a healthy baby..

In my defence I think that part of my weight gain has been due to the fact that I have quit smoking - I just want to be healthy for my baby and for it to be healthy too...

Please please help¬¬

Are you watching portion sizes? Either Whole gains and fruits?
Smaller more frequent meals?

I wish idid not think atkins was bad when i was prego. I gained 60 pound

My baby is now 14 months old and i still have about 20 pound to loose.I am not saying go on induction,just watch you carbs. I wish i folowed my friends diet. She had diebites(sp) and basicly ate low carb:no white food,no sugar,limited fruit, unlimited vegies,meat .Some dairy food and lots of water.She is now back to her lowest weight ever.Whatever you do, talk to you doctor, and happy pregnancy.
