Advice About Weight Gain Needed!!!

i dunno about healthy snacks really. but good weight gain for you would prob be 20-30lbs. i dont think your doing to bad to start off with. u will gain alot more towards the end though for sure i always craved fruits when i was prengnant. veggies are also good to specially green ones

glad to hear things are going well!

what are you doing at the gym? i'm pretty sure working out during pregnancy is a big no-no. if you're doing aerobics or swimming, or water aerobics or something, that's fine. but if you're going & lifting weights or running or sometihng.. you might want to talk to your doctor about that.

as far as weight is concerned.. just make sure you keep your weight gain pretty steady.. try not to do any big jumps.. for example, in a little less than a month at the beginning of my 3rd trimester, i gained over 10lbs.. & .then the next time i went in, i had only gained about 3lbs.. that's not good. just try to keep it pretty steady. i'm 5'5" & i weighed about 150lbs before i got pregnant, & i have gained 40lbs so far & .i'm 37wks.

just keep eating right & taking care of yourself & you'll be just fine.

Sounds like you are off to a good start. 20-30 pounds is recommended, and it comes on fast in the end

You should check on your work out routine with your OB. Walking is great exercise, but be careful not to get your heartrate up too much. It's also not good to get over heated. Low impact exercise is fine as long as your healthy enough to do it.

Good luck to you!!!

Thanks you all for everyone's advice!! It's great to hear and makes me feel better that I seem to be doing ok!
I spoke to my doctor about the gym and b/c I was going before regularly and training with weights, he said that for now, it was still ok. I do not lift heavy anymore. My typical workout is about 30-45 min's of cardio (on the eliptical) and then some light weight lifting - more for toning my muscles, some stretches and then I'm done!!!!! I feel alot better after my workouts, but I can already see how it's going to become increasingly more difficult over the months to come!

A - thanks for the tips!! I also weighed about 150 before getting pregnant and my doctor said about 25-30 lbs for me was ideal to gain - now let's hope my body will agree to take it off in a decent timeframe after the baby comes!!??!!
I am looking forward to seeing pic's of your little one when he comes!!! Good luck with everything girl!

Yummmm - I have been craving alot of fruit too! It actually sounds good for breakfast right now with some eggs!!!! Gonna go and eat now! Thanks again ladies
