So before I got pregnant I weighed 115lbs, and that's also after having my two girls, I'm now pregnant with my first boy yay !!! :) but I'm just on my first week of my sixth month and weigh 160 lbs. Which means I've gained 45 lbs ....my doctor told me that I am over weight with this pregnancy and try to walk more which I've done an I also work an am on my feet all day, I've also changed my diet but still can't lose any weight??? Anyone have advice???

I was overweight pre pregnancy and gained over 50lbs with my daughter. I didn't over eat during my pregnancy and when I had her she was perfect and so was the birth. A look t of my gain WS water weight and it quickly dropped off after she was born. I don't know that there is much you can do to lose weight at this point especially if it's water weight. If you are healthy you should be fine, don't let the Dr stress you out about this.

Unless you have health issues, you're fine.  Its almost impossible to lose weight after the 6th month.

Try cooking with raw coconut oil replacing your usual cooking oil. Also eating a couple tablespoons a day helps with weight loss. (Just know it has kind of a chapstick-like consistency so it is not pleasant to eat by itself) I personally spread about a tablespoon on a peanut butter sandwich and it has helped curb my weight gain and helped with constipation

Ask your doctor to check your thyroid! It is important to help a healthy weight during pregnancy or you are at risk for having a c section,  a overly big baby,  developing hypertension and developing gestational diabetes. Walk fast enough that you are working up a sweat but still able to hold a conversation.
