Let me give you peace of mind šŸ‘‡

While weight should be monitored, it doesn’t matter as much as other significant factors.

Recent studies are showing that weight gain should be more individualized and that national guidelines are just that—guidelines!

The overall health of the woman is more important, and can be measured by other means, including:
šŸŖ blood sugar
🩸 blood pressure
šŸ„— diet
šŸƒā€ā™€ļø exercise

All of these are better indicators of maternal health than weight gain alone. (Collin et al., 2023).

So if you’re gaining 40, 50, or even 60 pounds during your pregnancies, don’t panic!

Of course, always talk to your provider and get on the same page! They know your unique health history and can answer your questions.

ā—ļø As a disclaimer, I’m NOT saying that weight doesn’t matter at all. In fact, going into your pregnancy at a healthy weight for YOUR body can help to alleviate aches and pains, give you more energy, and lower your risk of hypertension, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia.

Hope this is helpful for any moms who are doing everything right but still gain more than the ā€œrecommendedā€ amount! Talk to your provider and continue doing the things that are in your power to be healthy and strong. šŸ’Ŗ

My pageant mode, runner girl, senior year era šŸ’ƒ

catch me wearing neutrals for the rest of my life to make up for every brightly colored item of clothing on this carousel

I actually loved this memory lane because 2016 was so challenging with all the change of getting ready to graduate, but so rewarding because I had zero regrets from high school. My goals were so different— dating, college acceptances, pageant scholarships. Now I’m focused on the birth of my second baby, grad school/career choices, and Matt’s upcoming match for residency. I’ve been thinking so much about what I want 2026 to look like to mimic this year and I think if I had to choose a 2016 theme it would be ā€œfull send, no balance.ā€ 🤣 I’d like this year to have a whole lot of that full send energy, but a little more balance. āš–ļø
