Worried about weight gain

Don\'t worry. Five pound weight gain isn\'t a lot and you\'re almost half way there. Keep taking your prenatals and try to eat three balanced meals with a couple of healthy snacks in between. I\'m a little overweight without being preggo, so doc thought a 25 weight gain would be sufficient. I\'m about 21 weeks and have gained about 8 pounds. I know I will gain more in the third trimester.... and once I give birth I\'ll lose at least 10-15 pounds right away from the baby and placenta.

just focus on eating healthy and eating small meals throughout the day. don\'t sweat it if you want something bad here and there, and don\'t sweat it too much if you gain more than you want. i gained 35 lbs, which scared me as it was coming on. but i was able to loose all but maybe 3 lbs at this point- by baby is 6 months and all i have done as far as exercise is walking here and there. i eat moderately healthy but have a bad sweet tooth. i have done no dieting. they say breastfeeding helps with the weight loss, and i am breastfeeding, so i am not sure how much of that is a result, but i would imagine either way the weight will come off with a little time. congrats!!
