Try to go for snacks that are full of energy and things your body really needs like nuts, cheese and crackers, fruit. Keeping active helps heaps too and is really good to help you in labor. Weight only matters if your doc/midwife is concerned you are gaining too much. I'm 35 weeks, gained 30 lbs and everyone says I look so small. I don't feel like I've put that much weight on and walk every day and do yoga twice a week. But it doesn't bother me, I'm healthy and fit and baby is growing well!! That's all that matters not some number on a scale

If u want to do it just for ur self and not cause back pains, just try to eat healthy foods. My sister wasn't thin when she had my 2 nephews n got bioger with them but she had no complications they are healthy kids and doctor was never concerned or rude about her weight. As long as they are healthy that's all it matter. If anyone judges u ignore it because u have a bundle of joy in ur tummy. I lost weight n I'm four months still can't eat everything but I miss eating some good food was 136 now I'm 125 and trying to not put a lot of weight because I had bad Injurey.

I'm the same way. I started off at weighing 130 but I was in somewhat good shape because I did play sports and work out. through out the first 2 trimeters I would gain weight one week then It would come off by the next week. I don't know how but it would. Now I'm 33 weeks and weigh almost 190. It makes me so sad every time I see myself in the mirror. I feel like a whale( take In consideration I'm 5'1). what I've been doing and I would recommend is walking for at least 1-2 hours a day. It will help keep you active and will help you have a smoother labor. Also try eating more vegetables especially spinach, broccoli and anything green( vegetables only) they will keep you full, longer than junk food
