Being overweight and pregnant
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
