Due Date Club September 2007:my update

2007-05-10

Name: Rakhi hi everyone,
hope u all r doing great!

i went for my routine check up yesterday..everything was ok except that i have gained a couple of extra pounds. we shud be gaining an avg of 1 pound every week at this stage. since my last check up (4 wks ago), i shud have gained 4 pounds..but i gained 6. so my doc was not very happy abt it..she asked me and noted down all that i' m eating..asked me to cut down on a few things amd said in the next visit (after 4wks), i shud gain only 3 pounds..lets see....

she asked me to reduce my chapati intake from 3 to 2..and totally avoid rice, cookies, all sweets, bananas, strawberries, mangoes(which i' m already not taking) and pears.

anyway..thats the update from my side..

take care
rakhi

Hi!

Rakhi.
I agree with others, ur gynec is really caring.
As far as wt gain is concerned, try to avoid fried items like chips n indian style bhajjis, pakoras. dont eat mithai at all. if u feel like eating sweet, eat something like 1/2 dates, jaggery.
I, myself, trying to follow above things, as I m also gaining 2 much weight. I m currently, 19W 5 D, and till now I have gained 13 pounds. and I keep on worrying abt 2 much wt gain, but surprisingly my gynec says, wt gain is normal.
nways, I m trying 2 eat ONLY that food which is helpful for me and my baby.
take care and keep writing.

hi megs

hi megs!
8 kgs was ok for u since u were a lil underweight to begin with. and one n half kg this time is also ok i think..ofcourse ur doc will be able to tell u more properly.

no re..i take only 3 badams daily..sumtimes i forget that too. i was having a banana daily..bananas increase weight..now i dont take it on a daily basis. i´ ll make sum changes in my diet and see..

take care

Hi Rakhi

Hi Rakhi

Your doctor seems to be really good....were you overweight before pregnancy??
I was 3 to 4 kgs overweight before pregnancy and now I am in 18th week..and to my surprise from 16th to 18th week, I have put on 2.5kgs. So I am little worried about my weight gain also...

How much in total did you gain till 22nd week??

ok then reply back

take care
luv

hi ramya

hi ramya,
no i wasnt overweight before pregnancy but i was close to the upper limit.

she says that gaining too much weight puts u at risk of developing GD. and she says i have a very very low risk of having GD since one of my uncles has diabetes (if ur parents or siblings have diabetes or if it is hereditary in ur family then u r in the highest risk grp). that is why she is concerned..

she said in my first appt that i shud put on sumwhere between 25-30 pounds in my whole pregnancy..till now i have gained abt 16 pounds.

take care

hi tabassum,
i stay in michigan...yes my doc is a bit strict abt weight issues (which is good) but sometimes i feel it is too much..actually earlier in my 16th wk, i had lost a couple of pounds but she was not much bothered abt it (although i was)...

how much have u gained so far? i read sumwhere that if the baby´ s growth n heartbeat is ok, then the docs are not much bothered abt our less weight gain..that cud be the reason why ur doc says its alright..

take care

Same here

Hi Rakhee..

Even my doctor is pretty keen on my weight gain.Here in Japan all women are veryyyyyyyy thin and you really get a complex by just looking at them.I was 4-5 kg overweight before pregnancy and in my 5 th month I gained almost 3 kg and she was like worried.But thanks for the list of " To avoid" .I will try to follow this diet.
Unfortunately here in japan we can not live w/o rice but rest I will try.
Take care,
Mansi
