Pregnancy support

I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and have been told that I am gaining too much weight. I have been tracking everything I eat and drink on here and I barely consume 1600 calories a day. I have gained 25 pounds so far (OB doesn't want me to gain more than 35), but my daughter is measuring almost a month ahead of what she should be. When I was pregnant, with my son (almost 6 years ago), I gained 40 pounds total and 10 of that was pure baby. I was never once told that I was gaining too much with him or that he was measuring farther along than he should be. I have struggled with Anorexia in my past, so it was hard to hear a doctor tell me that I'm too fat - especially when I am growing a human. Pregnancy is the only time I've allowed myself to eat enough and not feel guilty about it, so it's really got me down.

Hi there! Don't worry about the weight gain.. It's not that bad! Do what's right for your baby who seems to be taking up most of the new weight. Also remember how much water we retain with pregnancy, how much more blood and general expansion.. What's important is that you don't stress, make sure you exercise and do prenatal yoga and eat nutritious meals like fruits and veg ..

You're almost there, congrats!!
