Being pregnant is a wonderful thing but the associated weight gain worries many new mothers to be, and for good reason. Gaining excessive weight during pregnancy increases the risk of pregnancy related complications and health problems and is also uncomfortable and depressing, to say the least. Below, I will elaborate a bit further on why we tend to put on more weight than necessary and what you can do to control your weight during pregnancy.

Being hormonal, feeling nauseous and possibly having a few aches an pains, many women tend to overeat or indulge in various fattening treats such as chocolate and biscuits. Whilst the occasional treat is absolutely fine, giving in to your cravings on a daily basis will very like cause you to put on too much weight which is both unsatisfying and also very difficult to lose post-partum.
The problem with the extra weight is that the more you gain, the more unhappy you become about yourself and the more unhappy your are, the more difficult it is to start an exercise routine and changing your diet for the better. It’s a downward spiral.
All women put on weight during pregnancy and anything between 25 and 35 pounds is absolutely normal and healthy. The key to sticking to this weight range is to incorporate exercise into your daily routine and to make conscious choices about what you put into your mouth.
In terms of exercise, walking is a great, cardiovascular exercise with little risk of jarring your knees and ankles. If you are not already active, I recommend you start out with a slow walk and build up to 20-30 minutes brisk walks. Other great pregnancy exercises are swimming, prenatal yoga and light weight training. Whatever your fitness level, do consult with your doctor or health care provider before taking up any exercise.
In terms of diet, it can be extremely tempting to eat basically everything in sight or to just eat differently from what you are used to once pregnant. Cravings mainly come from an unbalanced blood sugar, so you can keep them at bay by eating protein at every meal, eating more non-refined carbohydrates such as brown rice and rye bread and cut as much sugar out of your diet as possible.
