cant stop gaining weight!! :(

I keep getting more and more concerned with my weight the further along I get. I never lost my baby weight from my first child 2 years ago. I used to be 128. Im 5'7. At the beginning of this pregnancy I was 173 now im up to 190 already and im only 28 weeks. I want to start losing weight. I dont wanna get over 200lbs. Its so hard to lose the weight for me after I have the baby. It makes me feel like sh!t about myself and not want to even eat.

Shes more concerned about me having a big baby. My first was 9lbs 2oz and she was so big she got stuck because I have a small pelvis. I want a smaller baby this time. Im having a boy this time so that makes gaining weight even worse lol

You could have been gaining muscle which ways more than fat. You shouldn't worry about the number on the scale mama. It'll come off eventually.  I know its hard but just enjoy the pregnancy to the fullest!

I go on 5 30 minute walks a week. That helps me maintain weight. Eat fiber enriched foods so you get full more quickly.  Those are just a couple things I do. Pre pregnancy I was 176. I'm 31 weeks and I'm 181. If your doc isnt concerned about your weight,  then you're doing just fine!
