Why am I so terrified of more weight gain during pregnancy?

[butterly248]

I have lost weight. My boyfriend has mentioned it. I feel lighter too. I would say I'm about 100 kg.

I've always struggled with my body image and weight since I was 10, I'm now 26. That's 16 years of an eating disorder, body shamed etc.

I am active. I walk everyday. I can touch my toes. I can do a lot of things. My diet isn't the best but that can be changed.

I'm just terffied of becoming an overweight blob after having a baby. I struggle to lose weight rn as it is and I can't care the thought of being so big that I can't move :(

Is this normal? Any advice would be brilliant thanks.

Okay, so you've had all these problems with your weight. Find me in a good place.

And you're pregnant, know how hard it was to lose the weight. So what you do is you start now not to lose weight but to eat better foods. First of all, because your baby is going to take so many vitamins out of you and just completely rob you of all the good things in your body. So you have to start now taking care of yourself even more Even in preparing yourself to not only feed the child, right? But to take care of your health and exercise and vitamins are the best way to do that, so drink plenty of water, real water, not bottled water, not tap water, filtered water. For you and your baby, I guarantee it. Your baby will be so happy with good. Take your vitamjust take care of your body now. So you don't have the problem after you have the baby

I'm 5 ft. 1-1/2 inches tall. I was 23 when I became pregnant. I weighed 100-105 pounds.
By the I was in the hospital to give birth, I weighed 250 pounds.
Within 3 months I weighed 130 pounds.
Then my husband abandoned our son and myself I went down to 97 pounds.

150 pounds not 250!

You are already active, which is great! You should just shift your focus from weight control to nourishment and strength, and you will do just fine.

Going out for a nice relaxing walk every day, at least until your doctor tells you it’s not a good idea anymore, will really help both your physical and your mental health

Breastfeeding burns a ton of calories. If you keep active during your pregnancy and then after you recover you will be fine. Plus chasing toddlers, carrying car seats, and playing with your kids keeps you active.

This is absolutely normal.
But you need to eat healthy food for yourself and the baby.

Because many women do gain weight during pregnancy, but it's only temporary.

Usually the women who are as worried as you are don't have a problem with pregnancy weight. The ones that don't care are the ones that end up heavier afterwards.
