Being overweight and pregnant

2019-06-12 17:13:09
My bmi is 28.5. I have always been overweight. I m 18 weeks pregnant. I m scared of gain unwanted weight at the same time it worries me that I m not having enough nutritious food for the baby. This thought is killing me. This experience is beautiful and I love my baby alot. But the fear of being body shamed by my husband and  in-laws is killing me.

Hi Do  not  worry Just  concentrate  on  your  present  status . You are  going  to  become  a  mother. You need to  eat  more  and  healthy eventhough  you  are  overweight. Do not  think about  the  weight now. It  will be  definitely  reduced  after  delivery. Not  eat  sweets  more
