During pregnancy, slight weight gain is natural. But it is wrong to think that at this time you need to eat for two, your weight can significantly increase, threatening possible complications.
Instructions
Step 1
Control your appetite. This is difficult because the body requires food during pregnancy. But still try to hold back, do not pounce on buns, meat casseroles and rich borscht. Of course, not everything is banned. Go on low-fat dairy products and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Don't get carried away with sweets: just eat a slice of cake once a week. If the feeling of hunger persists, nibble on a delicious carrot or eat a juicy apple.
Step 2
Be sure to keep an eye on your weight gain. What it should be for you personally, ask your doctor - it all depends on your condition, body constitution. Weigh yourself once a week. Try not to go beyond normal weight gain. Reconsider your diet in case of excess of the norm. It's a good idea to arrange a fasting day: once a week, eat, for example, cottage cheese, kefir and chicken fillet. Although you should consult with your doctor here, you may not be able to cut back on food quite dramatically.
Step 3
You should not actively play sports while carrying a baby (although everything here is also individual). But it is very useful to walk as much as possible, breathing in fresh air. Wander leisurely around the surroundings, admire the nature, think about what a wonderful position you have now. As a result, mood will rise, metabolism will increase, and excess calories will be burned.
Step 4
Watch for swelling that occurs frequently during pregnancy. But this does not mean that they are safe, they will not harm the child. If you wear a ring, it can give a signal about violations in the water balance: do not take it off at night, but try it in the morning. Sitting tight? It means that you have problems with the withdrawal of fluid. Drink less after six in the evening, and in order to normalize the metabolism, use herbal diuretics: decoction of lingonberry leaves or cranberry fruit drinks (in addition, they will enrich the body with vitamin C).
