I need a “diet” that is healthy for a pregnant woman and will help me keep from gaining over the recommended 35 pounds. I am not trying to lose weight just limit how fast I put it on. Any suggestions or tips that might help? Anyone have experience with this? I tend to gain about twice the recommended weight and am terrified to gain that much again.
I actually work at a gym and am not heavy at all when I am not pregnant. (size 4-6) I was training for a marathon when I found out I am expecting twins. I currently run about 40 miles or so a week. The past week nausea has kept me off the road completely. This is my fifth pregnancy and despite the fact I gain 70 pounds every time the doctor refuses to send me to a dietician. She feels that since I lose it so quickly (in 9-10 months of delivery) that it doesn’t really matter. It is just so miserable to be that big!
