Freaking Out

dezeree18

I know, another weight post, but I need some comfort. Or some reality.

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I gained 9 pounds since my last doctor visit! This is the second time I have had a bad month. Last time was a 7 pound gain.My doctor doesn't want me to gain any weight between now and next month and I am worried about how to do this.

I really do not want to gain an excessive amount of weight. I want to have a healthy baby and be healthy. I honestly am not sitting around eating junk food all day. I do eat more than I used to, of course, but I have healthy snacks. I do indulge on dessert too often, but I don't understand how that could cause such big gains.

Has anyone had this experience? Can anyone offer advice?
