I am 33 years old, I was 173 years old, my weight was 62-65 kg. For a long time my husband and I could not have children, there were different hospitals, different tests, the same verdict everywhere – both of us are healthy. And so many years, we reconciled and considered the option of IVF. But it so happened that I had to move to another city and during my medical examination at employment I came across a good doctor. Why a good one? Because I’m pregnant.
No, they didn’t make me take hormones or anything, they just made me gain weight. Now I weigh 70 kg, that was enough for my body to get out of the stress stage and decide that it’s okay to reproduce. What is an extra almost 10 kilos? It is necessary to understand that I have gained not muscle mass, but rather a fat layer, i.e. a reserve.
Do I like myself? No! I want to cry, but I understand that the child is very desirable. After I got pregnant, I eliminated the foods I gained weight on from my diet – cereals, fatty dairy, fatty fish.
The problem is different, I have been following a right diet all my life, vegetables, protein, I do not eat sugar, bread and flour. Of sugar, only seasonal fruit and that without fanaticism. Now I am a little pregnant, but I managed to catch a terrible morning sickness. I even went to the hospital for an IV. After many tests, the doctor who is in charge of the pregnancy, began to find out what I eat. And was very scolded when he found out that I do not eat sugar, candy, cookies and flour.
My husband also scolds and makes me drink glucose and brings home lots of stuff, from cakes to jams. And I can’t eat it, just on a psychological level, I understand that on this diet I will be fat after giving birth. I don’t want that, I don’t want my husband to call me fat. I was even forbidden to be physically active except for walking, they say that with my labs it is harmful until I am no longer pregnant.
And I do not like my weight of 70 kg now, and what will happen after delivery? When I have to breastfeed? There, too, the diet does not involve rapid weight loss, because milk is fat, and his body needs somewhere to take it.
I do not understand why a beautiful body and a healthy diet does not mean a healthy body? Why, in order to conceive and have a baby, do I have to eat everything unhealthy and gain weight? Why?
