m pretty sure she was taking tablets, so I suspect you would no chance of complete success with her approach towards not needing to take meds (but, you might or might not find with weight loss that not only would you gain assorted health benefits, but, would perhaps find that a less expensive diabetes 2 med would suffice). I'm certainly no expert on this topic, but that's a question to ask of your doctor (or possibly your pharmacist), next time you're chatting with one.
Some people do think that Lantus insulin causes some patients to gain weight, while the new Levemir insulin apparently does not do this. I read some articles about this just yesterday and was surprised, for I take Lantus and have noticed no weight gain at all. So this could be a factor.
However, a change in metabolism in middle age probably is the real culprit, along with possibly a slower metabolism because you are not eating. Exercise should help both problems. Start walking!
Well i would say your fine. I always lose weight at the first of my pregnancy. I am 37 weeks and have only gained 7 pounds so its all what ur doctor thinks. Mine is ok with my weight gain because im healthy and i do eat plenty lol. But in my opinion you are fine cause you should gain more at the end rather then the beginning. Just remember the baby and fluid is only so much and you are all the rest. So ask your doctor what would be a healthy weight gain and try to stick to that.
Completely normal! I lost 5lbs in the beginning of my pregnancy then gained it back, today I went for a check up and I've lost 2 lbs since my last appointment. So my total weight gain this whole pregnancy thus far has been 10lbs, as long as the baby is developing and measuring right weight gain isn't a big priority.
It's normal, I was the same until I reached the 20 week mark & I gained weight rapidly.
I lost 5lb without getting sick and it took a few weeks to gain it back. They sometimes suggest drinking ensure to help gain weight.
Firstly rule out conditions like hypothyroidism which can lead to excessive weight gain. A person wanting to lose weight should do so in a scientific way for long term benefits.

Have you been throwing up? My sisters pregnancry she lost 16 pounds in less than 2 weeks she was pretty close to the end of her first trimster she was really sick and hospitalized for dehydration from throwing up so much. I on the other hand haven't gained any weight and haven't lost any but I figure it is because I haven't had horrible morning sickness.

Believe it or not, I am more concerned about weight gain than any thing else. I have literally struggled with it all my life. I am 50 lbs over weight now an can afford to gain an ounce. I've read where cushins symdrome is a side effct, oddly enough, it was a concern earlier with my weight issues. I dread going on another goose chase with that! any advice and insights you folks can lend would be deeply appreciated.
but after 5 th month she started gaining weight and in her 9 th month she was 26 pounds more than her normal weight and we checked to your doctor about this weight gain, he told it is normal. Actually, a pregnant women should gain at least 12 kg more than her actual weight. So eat well, eat healthy and be happy.
s not unusual to gain a little weight when first starting to exercise. When you begin an exercise program, you begin building muscle, so even though you aren't losing pounds, you might be losing inches. You might want to take your measurements - waist, bust, hips, thighs, arms - you might actually be getting smaller.
You might also want to think about getting your thyroid tested to make sure it's functioning properly since hypothyroidism is a major cause of weight gain.
