Don't listen to them! They are crazy. I was pregnant with my first child and I gain 40 pounds, and with my second I gained 38, I am a small person and I normally weigh around 129 to 138. But when it comes to me being pregnant I gain weight like crazyy! Idc what anyone says, my hubbies always showed not tto care of how big or small I was. Always had his support 100%, that's all that ever mattered to me. I don't think there should be a need for me or anyone else to diet while pregnant unless recommened by a doctor. Has the doctor mentioned anything about your weight?? If not then there is no need to worry, eat to satisfy your self and the baby of course. And don't worry about what other ppl have to say, try to only think about yourself and the baby.... good luck with the pergnancy too......
