Im actually struggling with the issue of trying to gain weight during pregnancy. So I figured I’d leave a quick comment for other mothers-to-be that might be going through the same issue. For what it’s worth my BMI is low. - Despite negative comments that I have received about being unhealthy in my weight gain. The truth is I don’t starve myself, I’m not a health nut, or an athlete, and I’m not trying to maintain a ‘figure’. I’m just a regular girl experiencing a regular pregnancy and taking all the same steps as my other pregnant friends to prepare. (Try to eat healthy/ do light exercise). Luckily I have a good OB, who said to not worry about the weight because baby is a healthy average size and right on track for development. I’m striving to reach the 20-25 lb mark before my delivery date in two months. But I’m not going to stress because bodies are different and as long as we mothers and baby are healthy that’s all that matters. I hope this helps anyone else out there like me. Don’t judge yourself no matter the situation. Friends with my same BMI who are health nuts and do everything right, have gain twice (+) the amount they were supposed to. All of which gave birth to healthy happy babies. Our bodies are different and uniquely know how to prepare for our unique labors. So don’t get too discouraged. Listen to what’s right for your body and do what you need to keep you and baby healthy.

Thank you for saying this! I have had such trouble gainibg weight during my pregnancy (17 weeks) and it's making me so anxious - but I feel hesitant to mention it to other women or post online for fear of judgment or people being rude. Appreciate you sharing your experience!

@sydney6268 Год назад

My mom only ever got to about 110 lbs when she was pregnant with me and her doctors totally thought she was starving herself. I just wish I got those genetics :) I lost weight my first trimester but I had already gotten a little heavy before getting pregnant. Now, in the second trimester, I gained all the loss back from the first trimester. My guess is that it's just changes in bloating, digestion, water retention, etc. but I am a little scared about having gained 7 pounds in two weeks just because preeclampsia is my biggest fear so I know I need to start watching what I'm eating a little more (I've definitely been eating things of questionable quality).

@keilynnbasque2529 3 года назад

I am pregnant with baby number five. I have consistently gained 60+ pounds every time I'm pregnant. My normal (non-pregnant) weight is about 130 and I'm 5'7". As I've gotten older I've always worried that the baby weight wouldn't come off, but thankfully it always has with little effort. I'm sure breastfeeding on demand, as well as eating healthy, whole foods are the main reasons why.

@ashjankins960 3 года назад

We’re the same size not pregnant & I usually gain way more than “recommended”. The weight has come off quickly every time, as well. Currently 23 weeks with # 8 & haven’t gained as much this time. It’s freaking me out. Lol

@kaileythomp11 Год назад

Your comments have given me some much needed stress relief. 😅 I'm the exact same size as both of you (not pregnant). I'm currently pregnant with my first and the weight gain has been a really hard mental challenge for me to overcome. You both made me feel better, thinking I'll be able to lose it quickly after baby's here. Thank you!

@kcamillenaturals1384 3 года назад

This was helpful information, and I was fortunate to learn about it from my provider and friend who are Ob-Gyns. I gained a total of about 25 lbs with an average starting BMI. I stayed active to some degree throughout the pregnancy (limited to walking for 40+ minutes once or twice a day by 3rd trimester). As a result, I think I avoided possible risks given my age (40 with first pregnancy). I also lost almost all of that weight within the first few weeks after delivery. Definitely great advice...stay active if you can and eat healthy, nutritious foods while avoiding the “eat for two” advice common with family.

@samanthajohnston159 3 года назад

Hi Bridget, I found your channel just over a week ago as I was going into my 39th week of pregnancy. I gave birth not even 48 hours ago and it was my absolute dream! I had a doula myself throughout pregnancy which I feel was the most necessary part of the whole lead up to labour and birth for me and my partner. I believe the amount of knowledge I also received from you and your channel gave me so much confidence and that extra self belief I got from watching your videos gave me the birth experience I’d always dreamed of. Thank you so so much!! Xx

I'm in Japan and started at 68kg, now I'm 72kg at 20 weeks and my doctor said next month I shouldn't be above that. I just was like lol. I've been doing yoga, stretching, walking and eating well and not overeating so I'm just ignoring the doctors tbh.

@taraphillips5398 3 года назад

I was 130lb pre pregnancy and at 35 weeks now I have gained 55lbs. I eat healthy and in moderation, not “for two” and don’t have GD, edema, or any other pregnancy related risks or complications. Every body type is different. I still fit into size small/medium maternity clothes and size large women’s clothing. The ACOG recommendations are certainly not one size fits all. I gain muscle easily, my dad was a heavyweight body builder, so if I put on weight from the baby, my body will produce more muscle to accommodate the weight gain. I thought I was doing something wrong when I saw at 30 weeks that I had gained 50 lbs. but I generally feel great and know that the scale doesn’t really mean anything, and the recommendations are based on averages - not for individualized care.

@gchitz5410 3 года назад

The ACOG recommendations are based on numerous studies they aren’t just made up. Complications increase when you gain more or less

I'm at 26 weeks and have so far gained 35 pounds and I stress about weight constantly especially since I am 5'9" and normal 145. I exercise and eat healthy whole foods but have had an immense appetite. I'm trying to let go of my worries. There's no weight I can't lose after but there's only so much I can do while pregnant. Just trying to let go of my fears everyday since this is my first and have never went through such a huge body change in my life.

@GloriaStanley95 11 месяцев назад

I’m 28 weeks, also 5’9 and typically 148 pounds. But at my 28 week appointment i got weighed and realized I’ve already gained 30 pounds! So I’m in the same boat, just trying not to stress over it and know it will come off.

I have gained more than the recommended amount, but it's all in my belly. The rest of me has barely changed size. Everyone comments how good my figure still looks, even with only a few weeks til my due date.

@Orangejuicenow 3 года назад

This couldn't have come at a better time. I put on a lot of weight in my teens & it took a while to work it off. Got a lot of stretch marks and never really recovered. Now I'm seeing myself at a similar size at 26 weeks. I had a hospital appointment yesterday and the nurse called me skinny. It's so sad but that actually made me happy. I was annoyed at myself for being happy about it. I think it's OK to say these body changes can feel like too much sometimes

What if you aren’t gaining the recommended weight? This is baby #3, I started out 20lbs overweight before pregnancy. I’m in my 3rd trimester and have gained a total of 8lbs. It’s confusing because of all the additions (placenta, breasts, fluid,etc.).

@heatherpedersen8209 8 месяцев назад

I know I'm commenting a little late, but I'm 18 weeks pregnant. I lost 30 pounds before I got pregnant, which put me at 200lbs at 5'2". I still wanted to lose close to another 30 pounds, but then I got pregnant, which is great! But now that I'm 18 weeks pregnant, I've barely gained 7 pounds, and now I've started losing weight the last month. I don't know what to do. I'm not dieting anymore. I eat at least 6 meals a day, mostly healthy (I do eat the occasional burger, but not often). I just don't feel hungry, and i often have to push myself to eat. I don't know what to do.

@caramelsen Год назад

I've always struggled to gain weight which seems to be the opposite problem of 99.9% of women. My question is though, does your appetite increase naturally during pregnancy? In the first trimester I'm feeling nauseous but am hoping my appetite will pick up soon. It seems most women have no issue indulging every craving but I've never been that type of person, instead ive always had a modest appetite and a lean body shape. I love healthy food though and find it tastes better than fried fatty stuff which I'm guessing is a positive in this situation.

@kathleenbolanos 3 года назад

I'm sorry they said that to you.. And I think your gain looks great especially considering such a significant first trimester loss! Those last few weeks can result in quite a bit of gain so you will likely end up around 30lbs

You’ve gained the normal recommended weight. Being 25 weeks & 16 lbs is 1. 5 lbs less than the recommended half way mark (35/2 =17.5) I’m curious though, I see this was 3 months ago and you’re close to term, did you gain the other 17/18 or more?

Sometimes I get a little discouraged if I am eating enough but seems like baby is growing well so I really need to accomodate with the thought that much less weight gain is normal too. I always thought that is hard for the ones who gain too much weight and I was sure I did not wanted to get large, but is quite interesting to experiance that being on the other end of scale it still brings some confusion. 9 weeks to go... let see what they bring. On the meanwhile I am sure you already gave birth. Wishing you and baby much health, peace and love! ♡

I find so much confusing information on this topic. Overweight or Obese women are advised to gain 0-25lbs, but the baby and associated fluids/organs will weigh up to 22lbs? But we shouldn't lose weight? It's confusing because if we tried to follow suggestions precisely it's impossible to gain 22 lbs AND gain no weight at the same time! Bridget you are brave for trying to talk about this topic because it's certainly one with a lot of stigma.

This is just my situation exactly. Week 31, gained only 10 lbs and was never over weight, rather sporty. True that baby was only measuring like 2-3 day less in the last scan so he develops just normal but whats me I am just not gaining much, what I dont mind until he is fine. Some of my friends said that there are some people who dont really gaing weight because they dont consume more and what their body does is to give baby more calories and nutrient protecting baby and you are almost loosing weight in favor of baby. Well perfectly fine. No worries and you do a good job by eating healthy! 🥳

I'm 5'4 and 125 before getting pregnant and my ob literally told me I should only gain 20lbs and making me feel bad about my weight in 21 weeks and 135

Ew i would get a new doc or ask them to put it in your chart that you don’t want to talk about weight.

@BreakingFreewithShaiMarii 2 года назад

I don’t understand if they said 20 and you gained only 10 halfway through then isn’t he right? You had 20 more weeks left to gain the other 10?

Hi hopefully you see this! I just gave birth and wanted to breastfeed my baby, but everytime i noticed he would make a face, so i decided to taste my milk and noticed that my milk is extremely salty..Is that a normal thing or is something wrong with me?? Please help!!

@balifitzpatrick5351 3 года назад

Hey there - hope you don’t mind me jumping in but you say you’ve just given birth so it’s likely that the saltiness is due to the milk still being colostrum (or at least transitioning). Colostrum (the rich, yellowish - due to high presence of protective antibodies - milk that you produce for the first few days after birth) is less sweet and more salty than mature milk. Your baby is probably making faces for an entirely different reason! Hope that provides some reassurance! 😊

This BMI info is so outdated… doctors are leaning to women not gaining so much during pregnancy 50 lbs is huge! There r women who are vloging their pregnancy weight gain their number are so much less 25 lbs or less… during my pregnancy I’m still eating healthy and working out

@lifeinlimbo2186 7 месяцев назад

I aIways found it inexcusable for a woman to gain 200 lbs. to have an 8 lb. baby. I always knew that a growing fetus did not need 4 cheeseburgers and a half gallon of ice cream everyday.

@distorbia20 3 года назад

With my two boys I lost weight during pregnancy because I was so ill with it with morning sickness that lasted a whole 9 months. With my recent baby I fell pregnant when I was 65kg (145lb) and when I gave birth I weight myself two days after and I was 71.5kg (157lb). My baby is now 10 months and I haven’t still lost any weight and not rushing to
