27 weeks and overweight

Options
I'm 27 weeks and I started out pre-pregnency overweight and I haven't gotten my eating under control since I got pregnant. My doctor told me if my BMI is too high then I can deliver at the local hospital, I'll have to go to one an hour away. I really don't want that. Right now my BMI is almost as high as it's allowed to be a still deliver locally. So, until baby come (hopefully in about 12 weeks) I really can't gain any weight and should probably lose a pound or two. My Dr. has given me the go ahead to watch what I eat and exercise but I'm having a hard time with it. I'm cravign sugar like crazy I try eating fruit but I just end up eating fruit and candy. Any tips or anyone else in teh same boat?

    Are you able to exercise at all? It is so hard for me to loose when pg but if i keep koving my weight is easier to manage. Try to up the protien and eat protein at every meal. If you cam limit starchy carbs too that is a big help.
