If you’ve ever felt anxious about pregnancy weight gain or struggled with body image during pregnancy, you are not alone! Today, I’m breaking down the myths around pregnancy weight recommendations, why your weight gain journey may look different than someone else’s, and how to focus on feeling strong, nourished, and confident instead of obsessing over the scale.

Here's a sneak peek:

[1:10] Each of our experiences are unique 

[2:32] BMI and how doctors use it 

[5:20] Obsessing over the numbers and factors that can impact pregnancy weight gain

[7:14] How do you feel about the weight gain?

[11:03] What changes after a baby comes?

[14:00] What to focus during pregnancy instead of the numbers?

[18:14]I share how my weight gain has been different with each pregnancy

Pregnancy and postpartum are full of changes—some exciting, some challenging. But the number on the scale does not define your health or worth as a mom. Instead of obsessing over weight gain, focus on nourishing your body, moving in ways that feel good, and showing yourself kindness through this transition. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mama who needs to hear it!
