She is worried that this is gonna gain tons of weight during this pregnancy.
Can anyone please give me their stories if you were bigger and pregnant or if its even possible to "Maintain" your weight while pregnant.
Thank ladies and gents
For one, I hope she immediately stopped doing Phase 1. Phase 1 is NOT healthy for a pregnant woman.
Every body reacts differently to pregnancy. The important thing is to make sure you aren't giving in to every bad food craving and using pregnancy as the excuse. I did that with my first pregnancy and gained almost 50lbs. My second pregnancy I was obese when I started, but I watched what I ate and made good healthy choices. After my son was born I was within 5lbs of the weight I had been before getting pregnant again.
Weight Watchers is actually a great pregnancy weight management plan - good balanced meals with calorie control, if gain is a concern that might be the way to go until after the baby is born and no longer breastfeeding.
