NUTRITION DURING PREGNANCY | Calories, Weight Gain, Nutrients | Becca Bristow MA, RD, LDN

[@meljoy131]

I almost died from anorexia back in 2005 and the book "Intuitive Eating" saved my life. Our dietician in the treatment facility was a big believer in that concept and it literally changed my entire relationship with food. I have been in recovery for almost 13 years. I sing its praises from the rooftops and encourage my friends and family to do the same!

[@hanakenney1337]

Gained 65 lbs with my pregnancy! Totally agree I would never do it again...it wasn't all me, I had complications where I couldn't work out but I could have eaten better! My son is 14 months and I have lost 43 but have the other 20ish to go! It is soooo much harder to lose than I thought! Obviously having a child takes up a lot of to e I had before...when I thought about losing weightbefore I had the baby in kind of forgot about the fact I would have a lot less time to workout, meal prep etc....So long story short...listen to Becca!!!

[@colleenscrew2665]

Thank you for touching on the active folate vs folic acid!! Not enough people know about this and it’s SO important!! I take a separate methyl folate to help my body absorb it best 🙌🏻

[@lifewithrobles1554]

Literally the best video on pregnancy health and nutrition I’ve seen!👏🏼

[@theholubfam4444]

i’m 25 weeks pregnant & have gained 28lbs so far!!!!! i was overeating & not exercising but now i’m walking everyday & eating healthy foods/snacks so i can stay either at or under the 35lbs weight gain during this pregnancy & have a healthy son

[@jacqimcgarry4073]

Thanks for this video! I’m currently 5 weeks and am so overwhelmed by internet resources. Love your videos!

[@jenniferfeliu7905]

Great power comes from excercise throughout the struggles of pregnancies. When I was pregnant I eat a whole lot not the best diet but I eat and eat then starved then eat then did a gymnastics move then eat and took prescription vitamins day and night

[@Jen5914]

Absolutely I over ate during my first which I totally regret and have since changed my lifestyle and food choices. I gained 50 lbs for my first although I did seem to quickly loose it after but still I wasn’t proud. My second, I knew more, was more educated, and had been maintaining a healthy lifestyle for years and gained 22 lbs. Great info! Love your videos!

[@mallorypeters9473]

I would love a video on nutrition while breastfeeding! I am 33 weeks pregnant so will be breastfeeding very soon 😊

[@millyb8311]

Nutrients info starts at 8.12. Folate (not folic acid) Iron Calcium Vitamin D Magnesium FHA Protein

[@jaspreethobbs1859]

Thanks and I think you mean DHA

[@alishajennings2013]

You really made my ears perk up when you mentioned folic acid being linked to lip and tongue ties. I am 31 weeks along with #6 and just checked my prenatal. It has folic acid, not folate. But my 1st, 4th and 5th kids all have a lip tie.

[@Chrissy4281]

As far as the weight gain, you don’t have to gain a single pound during pregnancy. I get your point may be to help others not to stress about it if they do gain weight and to encourage others not to gain excess weight, but due to my weight at the time, my doctor wanted for me not to gain any weight. She didn’t suggest that I loose any but she definitely encouraged me not to gain and I didn’t. I did not gain one pound in 9 months. Nothing changed with my diet or exercise except an increase in my water intake.

[@alvinluvdoctor]

Wow how did u do it? I dont wna gain more weight. I started 130 lbs pre preggo and now im 6 months preg im at 135 lbs. I dont wna gain more.. i work at night and my sleeping pattern is erratic. Im having a hard time sticking to meal plans. Care to share some tips?

[@neuroticgypsy]

If you are already obese you don’t gain much and aren’t encouraged to. If you were of normal or under weight; weight gain is imminent and necessary because the woman doesn’t have stores readily available.

[@ciarascraftingtable]

I am type 1 diabetic and I’ve never been pregnant but I agree with you Becca on eating healthy to avoid/ease gestational diabetes. Diet helps me a lot in managing my disease along with exercise and insulin. I can only imagine eating right would help the pregnancy as well.

[@kashbash9645]

9:12 bless you for bringing up the importance of active folate. It should go hand-in-hand with talk of folate supplementation and is so often overlooked or unknown to professionals. Bravo!!!

[@Billybloop]

When I concieved my son I was already overweight but I didn't feel too bad about my body as I could still fit into trendy clothes and didn't look awful. Over the course of pregnancy I gained roughly 40lbs and when I gave birth 14lbs immediately came off but in the days and weeks that followed nothing else did because the remainder was body fat. I gained it where it always goes, my face, boobs, back, arms and stomach. I looked like an inflated candy apple. I went from a European size 44 or 46 to a size 48. Where I live all the trendy clothes shops stop at an XL which is what I fit into when I'm not pregnant. I went shopping in New Yorker for some outfits and nothing fitted me. I resigned myself to men's Nike shirts and black leggings until the weight came off and I counted 2,000 calories a day. The weight came off in about 2 months (I was also breastfeeding). I am still breastfeeding my 20 month old and have just found out I'm pregnant again. This time I'm counting calories and don't eat more than 2,300 a day. I try and stick to 2,000 and I have cut out energy drinks and candy which I consumed all throughout my last pregnancy. I'm a big eater and generally eat more than my husband when I'm not paying attention to my diet. I'll probably lose weight but at least I won't gain any.

[@lexidanko2690]

Gosh I just love you! I'm 21, single, not pregnant, and just adore you and your videos. I recommend them to everyone 😂. I can't wait for baby girl to make her debut!!!

[@nicolasmith11]

I'm not pregnant (and don't plan to be for a long time) but I'm sitting here listening intently to every word as if I am. That must be a sign of a interesting/informative video. All the best on the rest of your pregnancy!

[@emilybroad5778]

I can’t seem to find videos regarding eating disorders and pregnancy. I was severely ill when I found out I was pregnant . I’m doing so much better now and I have a healthy baby growing ❤️ This video did help . I’m just trying to relearn eating and trying to find out what’s best for me since my case isn’t like everyone else’s ...

[@heatherm7970]

I opted to not take the glucose test due to the chemicals in the nasty drink they provide. I then had to document my blood sugar 4 times a day for two weeks. It was the biggest eye opener to me. It was amazing what spiked my sugar.

[@thetruth.is.out.there89]

i loved this thank you! much needed today. I am 20 weeks pregnant.. eating very healthy MOST days, walking and working out... some days I like burgers, fries and danish's hahah

[@amandavelong83]

Do you have any videos on ideas for meals and snacks while pregnant? Love this video!

[@rachelbarnett9073]

I just came across your channel a few months ago, and I have to say it has quickly became my favorite! I absolutely love all of the information that you include in your videos, especially since I am pregnant at the moment. I know I'll continue watching your videos even after pregnancy, because I love nerding out on nutrition info!

[@jenniferphelps9105]

loving your pregnancy series!! About to start trying for our first! So helpful!! thank you!

[@mariaLOVE1212]

I feel like I gained the most in my first trimester and now I’m the second my appetite has lessened. I also had no morning sickness so I think the hunger just hit quick

[@talk2bink]

Great video, +Becca Bristow !! I have persistent constipation for most of my life and it has worsened from the prenatal vitamins ( iron and calcium, I’m guessing). Do you have any suggestions for immediate and continuous relief? My concern is the build up of estrogens in the body that should be excreted.

[@LindsayPleskot]

Love your videos Becca! Been following along on your pregnancy journey. So exciting! I'm 15 weeks and even though I'm a dietitian too definitely have some things to brush up on in terms of pregnancy specific nutritrion. loved this one. Thanks for sharing!

[@mackenziegould3694]

I am hypoglycemic and borderline diabetic due to my PCOS. Im 4 1/2 months pregnant and my pre pregnancy weight wss 208. Im now at 175. So a loss of 33 lbs. I stopped losing for a few weeks but now losing again even though I havent been doing anything differently. I feel like im so pressured to gain and ive been eating. Any tips?

[@sarabourke2683]

That's the first time i have heard you mention the MTHFR gene which i was diagnosed with, my Dr said that regular folic acid is absolutely fine but all the research i have done says otherwise! So glad to hear that from you too, thanks for mentioning it! :)

[@renaemosley2274]

I love all your videos. Not pregnant but I have an 18 month old and love watching your videos no matter what the content is. I am a nutrition nut. I personally believe your first trimester is just as important as your last. The reason is I have a genetic disorder because my mum didn't eat an adequate amount of protein in her first trimester.

[@lauramackinnon392]

Great video. Thank you. What prenatal vitamin so you suggest/take?

[@angelicamontesdeoca3982]

I love this pregancy series so much. Yes, please make a guide and more videos. These videos are so helpful.

[@nataliedols3091]

Angelica Montes De Oca how is this possible with a baby growing inside of you?

[@UniversalGardens_Kimberly]

Thanks for the information and I totally agree with you. Just hit the second trimester a few weeks ago now... Man time flies and I finally have some control again in what I eat! What do you recommend to stop candy cravings? I'm so aware of candy and it's uselessness in a diet but I eat like four now and laters daily. Cannot help myself! Recently the craving has improved and I can usually go for fruits instead. Specifically oranges with salt... Crazy cravings lol. The salt part makes me paranoid too! I'm overweight so ideally I would gain the minimum amount of weight possible. So far so good and I don't deprive myself. I decided about a year ago that I would never do another deprivation diet again. I've lost some weight, about 12 pounds prior to pregnancy just from eating the healthiest of what is available to me and trying to make better choices. One day at a time I guess. Congratulations on getting through morning sickness! I still can't eat chicken to save my life lol.

[@getwellbe]

Love this!! All that recommended activity (plus, y’know, just growing a human inside them) means moms-to-be need a lot of sleep!

[@whitney3585]

I’ve gained 25 pds and I’m 24 weeks this week. Overall I would say I’m eating healthy food with some processed foods which isn’t abnormal for me. Working out 3 days a week. Idk what the issue is.

[@sarahsuebell]

This was sooo helpful! Thank you

[@colz83]

What about an emphasis on too much vitamins? Such as vitamin A. Too much liver as well as certain supplements have too much. My coworker got pregnant and was using a supplement that contained too much vitamin A. Luckily she checked with her doctor

[@mylover599yes]

This is so helpful! If you made an ebook on this, that'd be amazinggggg.

[@ignore_the_hype8709]

Becca, can you recommend on how to go about being a certified nutritionist?

[@devineller3853]

This is awesome Becca! We are currently TTC after an early miscarriage so I'm all about nutrition and making sure my body is getting what it needs. Your super sweet outro made me almost cry 💖 thanks for all you do in educating us with these important facts. [btw your ending song is literally my hubby's wake-up tune on his phone....I dread it every morning LOL 😝]

[@Grace-ce7gy]

I’m so glad I watched this! Just got my BFP for baby #2 a few days ago. With my first I gained 27 lbs and was pretty happy with that, however this time around I am going to focus more on consuming whole foods as you suggest. Any extra weight with my first melted off with breastfeeding. I’m excited to experience it all again. You will be a fantastic mom, Becca! 💕✨

[@marengray646]

I could listen all day😁🙌💙

[@justtebogo]

Thank you for this video. I feel awful for being sick during the first trimester . I’m 16 weeks right now finally eating 3 full meals and snacks(mostly fruits) I CANNOT stand meat but we’ll hopefully get there.

[@BrittanyBruce92]

I am currently taking the nature's bounty prenatal with DHA. It says it has 1333 mcg DFE of folate, but underneath it has (800 mcg folic acid)...does this mean I am taking the active form or just folic acid?

[@junec.rodriguez1115]

Just found out I’m pregnant, this is helpful! Thank you

[@laurentindal7038]

You gotta write a book girl!!

[@arturogoleman5221]

This was great, I been tryin to find out about "how many carbs and calories are in a nectarine?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Giyaarter Unflappable Gratification - (just google it ) ? It is a good one of a kind guide for learning what to eat to balance hormones and eliminating trouble fat spots minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

[@FreckleFinance]

I'm not sure why but when I was pregnant I had to eat WAAAAY more than recommended. The OB said it happens to some people when pregnant but I gained just at the bottom of what was recommended. Although it's been hard to reign back since (I'm a year postpartum still nursing a lot and 5lb from my prepregnancy weight) anyway.. I am eating way better than a few months ago because if I snack on bad stuff my kid wants it so now I'm motivated to not snack so badly lol.

[@jenniferfeliu7905]

A walk , a talk with positivity builds strong bones too simply a multi vitamin. Iron supplements not everyday.

[@meghanzubot5824]

I would love if you did a video on eating out! I eat healthy at home but struggle anytime I go out. Thanks!

[@RAJABN1993]

I can’t stop eating during my pregnancy 😭 I am really tired of this😓.

[@alimakingmyway3006]

Saaammmeee lol now if I can just eat healthy foods it would be ok.

[@محمدالفاتح-ط2ز]

Its ok, your not alone. My stomach turns into a giant ripped bag 😅like i can't feel full for 5 mins😢😁

[@jessfamily1434]

[@barbaritanyameah5739]

Hmmm then u ladies are really lucky

[@jamieviel3724]

My mom's always hungry but she's not gaining too much because she only eat 1200 calories or even less.

[@courtneydoherty6942]

Hi Becca, thanks for this great video. I am wondering if you can link a copy of the studies you're referring to on folic acid being linked to tongue ties and lip ties? Thanks!

[@elcat4859]

Do these nutrition facts change if your having twins or triplets? I’m so curious 🤪

[@PlanningtoProsper]

I have heard mixed opinions on weight loss during pregnancy. If you are overweight/obese, is it ok to lose weight while pregnant? I ask because I have been eating healthier and walking - not anything strict at all, and I am naturally losing weight. I eat when I am hungry - I am just making better choices. If I continue this, and lose weight while pregnant, is that ok?

[@michellegentry7505]

Loved this! So informative!

[@bpsilv1818]

I’ve never clicked on a video faster, thanks for the great info!! I found you because of a pregnancy video (I’m currently 17 weeks) and I love your nutrition philosophy, it’s similar to my own but inspirational! Keep up the good work! I would totally buy something you wrote about nutrition during pregnancy, FYI

[@angelachapman2541]

9 weeks pregnant and feeling so tired. I sleep wake up and need more sleep. Why

[@alexasmith7549]

Hi Becca! Can you do a video on what supplements/vitamins you take during and to prepare for pregnancy? Love your videos! ❤️ I’m also a Young Living member and love my oils!

[@cynthialopez1902]

I loved this video and I wish I would have found it sooner! I’m 21 weeks pregnant today but it’s never too late to start getting all those proper vitamins and minerals right?? Also natural calm will be my life saver! Leg cramps are no joke!

[@rainbowsugarnature]

Hi Becca thank you for the infomative video, you’re more informative than my doctor ☺️👍🏼. Can you make a healthy cooking video about how to raise HB (hemoglobin red blood cells)? I’m currently pregnant 5 months and my HB dropped to 8,7.... I think it’s also important not just for pregnant women but for all people who has anemia.... thank you :)

[@PrettyAsAPeach96]

Love your pregnancy vids. Hoping to be pregnant in the next few months after my wedding and you seriously have allllll the advice 💕

[@ChelbyeDagley]

You look great! Thanks for sharing! I'll have to keep this in mind for my next pregnancy.

[@WonderMeLand]

I am on my 17th week and I have lost 3kg. I have no morning sickness at all. I am very worried.

[@leciamanning9318]

Oh thank you thank you for making this! So much good info... I am 6 weeks with my second child and first pregnancy was tough cause I had horrible GERD symptoms and threw up all of the time so nutrition is so important to me for this one... For my sake and baby's! 👍👍😁😁

[@soufbeauti]

What about sodium intake? That’s my biggest concern not going over but when I do that I only get 1300 calories in 😞

[@inespinzon8830]

Hi, I am a little worried. I started my pregnancy at 142, I am currently 18 weeks and I am 161. I don't know what I am doing wrong, I sometimes eat "bad" like potatoes chips or a slice of pizza but is not all the time and my sister and my doctor are saying I have gained to much and I think that stress is making me gain more. I just don't know what to do. I am having twins by the way

[@jennileemills7254]

You’re four weeks ahead of me! Have you written down a day of eating to assess what’s nutrient dense and useful versus what could be reconsidered? Twins will see you gain more weight than a standard pregnancy, so don’t be too hard on yourself but also be mindful of your doctor’s advice (not the advice of friends and family, they’re not health professionals). Unless you have an underlying health issue, reviewing your food and doing light exercise within your capacity will help you have a healthy pregnancy. Try not to stress x

[@inespinzon8830]

Jennilee Mills Thank, now my glucose came high so I have to cut down sugar and carbs, is getting harder since that is what I am craving for. I will start doing a list of what I am eating and count calories. Now sure if I should try to do it myself or get a nutritionist. And of course I have to do exercises that I have not done during the pregnancy 🥺

[@Jennypenni8739]

Is this based on a 2000 calorie diet? For example, in the second trimester, I should eat around 2350 calories?

[@monikag9081]

I am a bit fed up with advise like "eat real food" and balanced diet. What is real food? Is pasta or bread real? I'm pregnant now and my body doesn't accept fruit and most veg. Most of pregnant women find eating very difficult and general advise just doesn't help 🙁

[@nikkic.2108]

As a dietitian, have you ever looked into how all the calcium from dairy is actually unabsorbable by the human body? There have been several studies on it, I think it would be worth looking up. Also can you do more Nutrition 101 videos if possible? They are very informative :)

[@XoMoMoXXo]

Hi! I am also a registered dietitian and that has been proven false. The bio availability of calcium from dairy products is quite good! However, as Becca has touched on you do not need to consume to dairy to get your daily calcium :) Way to stay curious! :)

[@nikkic.2108]

@@XoMoMoXXo Thanks for letting me know! I'm still wondering about all the studies which show correlation between the amount of dairy consumed in countries and the quality of the residents' bones (as in more dairy=weaker bones). Will it be possible for you to suggest a good article or source for me to read more about your claim? Thanks again

[@XoMoMoXXo]

No problem! So there are a variety of factors that may influence the results of scientific studies. One is that the scientist is not using humans but is rather using animal specimens, which always skews results. If the researcher is using humans, we have to be aware of what kind of population he/she is using. For example, Asian cultures barely eat dairy at all- are these the populations being tested? Those kind of variables greatly effect the outcome. Also, we have to look at the age of the population. When we reach our mid 20's we reach our maximum bone density, after that, our bones begin breaking down faster than we can rebuild. With that being said, a person in their 70's may consume a great deal of calcium on a daily basis but may not be utilizing it to the fullest potential- this can be due to malabsorption if the individual has an unhealthy or diseased GI OR it can be because they are simply breaking down much faster than they are building up. (Therefore, they are absorbing the calcium but they are not utilizing it at the appropriate rate due to increased break down). Theres also research supporting the increased absorption of calcium when calcium is consumed in conjunction with other vitamins and minerals. So there are absolutely are studies out there investigating the idea, but because of the countless variables, none can be proven. We do, however, have substantial evidence that calcium is absorbed and utilized in the body a great deal- and that is why we continue with that recommendation- so until there is solid evidence that another method exists, health care professionals cannot change the recommendation. I tried to find supporting articles for you, but you'd have to pay for their access. I've attached a very simple article- not a study- from Harvard Public Health. If you still find yourself curious, you can find some free access articles on google scholar. Thanks for asking and being so curious! You're awesome! www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/calcium-and-milk/calcium-full-story/

[@daniellemnvlogs]

Do you think you can also absorb some magnesium by adding Epsom salts to a bath? With some YL oils, of course :) My Restless Leg Syndrome is much better now that I'm supplementing with magnesium, taking Epsom salt baths, and going to my chiropractor :)

[@daniellewingerden9033]

Amazing information! 💓

[@jensee3317]

Preach! I really need to listen to this right now since I was too sick today from some nasty virus and wound up eating McDonald’s. :/ tomorrow back to meal prepping healthy meals for the rest of the week.

[@BrynneC]

I was always under the impression that gestational diabetes was a hormonal thing and how you eat during pregnancy can’t really prevent it (just like eating sugary food won’t cause type 1 or 2 diabetes).

[@RosesareRed38]

Brynne C food controls your hormones too. It's a combination of things but keeping diet in check does help. I don't see healthy slim people becoming type 2 diabetics? And if the slim people do it's the ones that eat loads of junk, don't exercise despite being slim.

[@jensee3317]

I had GD with my first but I was 30lbs heavier from the start. Weight has a lot to do with hormones. As well as diet. So does exercise, I didn’t work out with my first but started walking when I found out I had GD. It made a huge difference in my blood sugar levels. This time I’ve been working out 5-6 days a week doing low impact HIIT and weight training ( at lower weights of course). In two weeks the doctors will order the glucose test and I really hope I can prove diet and exercise is enough to keep pregnancy hormones in check.

[@pramirez3]

What prenatal do you recommend

[@grrraciella]

Yes yes yes!! Make a guide!!

[@liveloveloud100]

Great video so informative as usual! Not pregnant nor trying to be anytime soon but I think it’s interesting in general as well. P.S if you wanted to ever make an hour long video about anything you could count on me to watch lol P.P.S the outro music made me laugh idk why 😂

[@lachlanmaxwell8767]

I am worried I don’t eat enough sometimes while I’m pregnant. I don’t get much of an appetite 😭

[@mrskellyanner]

Are you still taking the same vitamins?

[@CrystalLynn815]

I can’t do Natural Calm, because the stevia makes me wake up wired in the middle of the night. My body reacts to it like it was sugar. Any sweetener/sugar substitute that is 200x sweeter than sugar has a gross fake taste to me regardless of whether it comes from a plant or is a man made chemical. I wish they made it without stevia.

[@kb13xoxo]

CK the original (unflavored) contains no stevia!

[@CrystalLynn815]

Kaley Brown thank you for letting me know. I think if it’s flavorless then I might as well just take a pill supplement.

[@kb13xoxo]

CK yep! Just as easy!

[@bethanysneary8536]

This is awesome! What DHA supplement do you take? I’m 16 weeks pregnant and would like to be taking a good DHA supplement. I get my fish oil from Costco and I don’t think it’s the best. I was also told by my awesome homeopathic dr that if you are taking a good amount of DHA it can prevent PPD and baby blues!

[@vkolaa]

[@abimitchell5605]

My only thing with videos like this is I am literally so sick all I can eat is Ritz crackers and plain wheat toast... I’ve already put on a few lbs since I was no carb and underweight before.... but a veggie or fruit will make me sick

[@WikiHealth]

nice video

[@masonjamess9]

I think I eat ok to be pregnant but I also think i need to eat better I really haven't even gain much weight while pregnant im just worried about getting to fat while pregnant .🤦‍♀️

[@joycooper4023]

I’m not bringing this up to be argumentative but out of pure curiosity. You mention the health ramifications of excess weight gain in pregnancy and explain why you do not subscribe to unhealthy eating habits and over eating etc. However, that does not seem to be what you discuss outside of pregnancy. You don’t mention the health consequences of excess weight and seem to subscribe somewhere along the lines of HAES. What’s the difference? I realize the problems that can occur with pregnancy in itself but you go beyond that in your reasoning for gaining too much weight. Don’t get me wrong I agree with you but I also agree that we need to be real about the ramifications of excess weight regardless of pregnancy too (In a supportive manner that maybe wasn’t present in the past).

[@liveloveloud100]

Joy Cooper I think she may have briefly touched in this or maybe mentioned in passing but if I’m not mistaken she mentioned that a healthy weight will look different on every body. So she promotes eating a variety of nutrient dense foods limiting highly processed foods and listening to your body/intuitive eating. When one does this and includes physical activity (which she promoted and does her self) you body will find the weight that it thrives in. I feel she doesn’t stress weight before there isn’t really a weight range that she can recommend. What is excessive for one person will be the sweet spot for another. (Not words from Becca directly but I’ve watched for a few years and this is what I’ve gathered from her nutrition videos)

[@LisasLittleWorld]

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and I just gained 1 kg 😓

[@michelesmith7263]

I'm not even pregnant and I'm already prepping

[@ccap3211]

This made me think of that recent episode of the Kardashians where Khloe is pregnant and she’s trying to eat healthy because her dr doesn’t want her to gain more than 30 pounds I think it was because her baby was already fairly big and and they were worried the baby would get too big for her to be able to deliver vaginally. Well Kris showed up at Khloe’s with 4 dozen of Krispy Kreme donuts and Khloe didn’t want them and she left them there for her anyways. She knew she was trying to eat healthy but she kept making her super heavy high calorie foods because she thinks you should sit on the couch and stuff your face all day. She wanted Khloe to gain 75 pounds! She didn’t think Khloe should be working out either. Lol I’m sure a lot of this was just made up for the show but it was pretty funny!

[@LindsayPleskot]

haha I watched this one too. So funny. I actually thought it was a bit concerning how much of a focus her doc was putting on her not gaining weight though!! I think like you said probably a lot of it is made up or exaggerated for the show.

[@Jen5914]

I literally thought about the same episode!

[@ccap3211]

Lindsay Pleskot yeah I think somewhere in the middle is probably the best! I agree with Kris that Khloe should indulge now and then but Kris was taking it too far! Haha

[@neuroticgypsy]

I agree with the REAL food thing. I think all women are different. The weight guidelines don’t really apply. Your body is in control while pregnant, not you. If your body wants to gain 60+ lbs to have a baby survive and flourish it will even if you eat “perfectly”. I just think women need to trust our bodies, cravings and just let the body do what it needs to do in a Whole Foods way.

[@lachlanmaxwell8767]

And when I do eat I eat crap food

[@amythinks]

I don't think there is a prevention for gestational diabetes. Obviously, keeping a steady blood sugar is important for all the other reasons you mention as well as management of GD.

[@elizabethdacosta1182]

Pretty sure gestational diabetes has nothing to do with diet it's luck of the draw from the placenta .. obviously sugar levels are important anyways but I think it's important to note gestational diabetes isn't a woman's fault from diet :)
