Weight Worries During Pregnancy

After a lifetime of watching your weight, it can be unnerving (and sometimes depressing) to watch it go up, up, up.

After a lifetime of watching your weight, it can be unnerving (and sometimes depressing) to watch it go up, up, up. Whenever you feel bummed about your expanding girth (and your expanding bum), remind yourself that there's a beautiful reason your body is changing.

To fuel that baby growth at 25 weeks pregnant, you need to keep your growth going, too, so dieting's never an option when you're expecting. Instead, eat as healthy as you can (remember, you share every bite with your baby), and eat as much as you need to in order to gain at the right rate.

(One more time, with feeling: I am not fat, I am growing a baby!)
