Hi Mommy' s to be..

I am 33 weeks pregnant now but no one can make out seeing my tummy. I look alsmost 6 months pregnant. Doc says there is nothing to worry about but I am very tensed. All my friends and relatives keep telling me that I look very thin for 8th month pregnancy.

I am worried abt my baby' s health.. I hope my baby is healthy.

I was very thin before pregnancy and till now I have gained 8.5 kgs weight. Sandhya M replied. Hi SS

Maybe my experience so far in this pregnancy will calm your fears somewhat.I am 34 weeks along with my second one (gained 22 pounds in my first pregnancy-just like that).I lost 6 pounds in the first trimester and reached my pre-pregnancy weight in the second trimester.Now,in the third trimester, I have gained 5 pounds in all (about 2 kgs).

The important point is that your belly should be expanding at the right rate.Your OB will tell you this.Weight gain is important but not something to loose sleep on.Like me, you might not be putting weight at the wrong places.Also,physically you should feel good and have an appetite.Your greatest friend is your doctor right now.I have effectively closed my ears to other people' s comments about my very slender figure in the 8th month.Just smile and say nothing.Eat well, exercise regularly and rest well.Everything else will be taken care off automatically.At least, that' s what my OB has lead me to believe in.

Cheers
Sandhya

I am currently 31 weeks preg and I had lost 5 kgs since preg started and did not gain weight until 6th month...
And I have gained 3 Kgs...I guess many women go thru this and when the doc says its normal, we should not worry abt that.

So Enjoy ur preg.

Cheers

Maanya replied. I guess there is no cause of worry. As, I hv seen many pregy women who don' t look like pregnt but they hv delivered a healthy baby.
Morover, it all depends on ur body. In some cases d weight accumulates on stomach, in some cases on legs, etc.
In my case also, wen i gain weight, it accumulates on my arms & legs rather then on stomach or hips.
So, as u urself hv said dat u hv gained weight then where hv it accumulated in ur body u can analyse urself.
Cause ur baby can wiegh maximum 3 kgs. till end so the resr is ur own weight accumulation.
don' t worry & b happy.
Cheers
Maanya pramitha replied. we both are sailing in the same boat. Even i don' t look like am in my 29th week. but wen the doc says there is nothing to worry u shouldn' t worry. keep eating lots of fruits and eat something every 4 hrs. don' t worry don' t take any stress...do yoga...n relax urself...
My doc this time has increased my iron supplement. He told me i shud not worry and the growth will improve.
may be u vr very thin before thats the reason. just chill eat sleep and be happy always.
Bye take care
Pramitha.
