Gain To Lose

I have just landed myself in deep soup. I did not know why and how. I did not drink too much soup. How on earth did I manage to gain another 2.5kg in just four weeks??? How am I going to stick to my target weight gain of 10kg? That seem like a dream too far off now.

To be fair to me, I did not eat that much to warrant such a tremendous weight gain. I drink a lot but I do not think that I eat a lot. So, what is the game plan to lower the weight gain for the rest of my pregnancy?

The doctor advised me to eat more fruits and vegetables, which I am, fish and meat. She also asked me to reduce my carbohydrate intake, which I can't, because I can't leave without bread. I can live without rice though. Other than that, there is nothing much that I can do , except to exercise, which is getting tougher for me as the baby is getting bigger and heavier.

Let's just hope that my weight gain for the rest of the 18 weeks will be optimal, if not minimal. Let's hope that my weight gain is due to all the water retention, like my sister-in-law's weight gain. Let's hope the baby will be born healthy.
