Question:
Answers:
You selfish bastard! Of course it is about the appearance, don't pretend that it's not.
take her out and do something with her. get her mind off of laziness and depression. and next time she reaches for ice cream and candy, give her frozen yougurt and frozen grapes. tel her that if she keeps on eating junky, her baby isnt gona turn out healthy, and she'll get cellulite.
good luck and i hope i helped!

lol just leave her alone...honestly if she wants her body back after she has her baby he will do it on her own.dont force anything on her
Best approach.
1) Turn off computer
2) Sit down and have a discussion starting with "honey, I'm concerned about your health and your happiness"
3) find out how she's feeling, and how to best help her take care of herself, her little one, and her body.
good luck
take her out somewhere but do not tell her you dont want her any fatter.
be sensitive.
also, its completely normal for women to gain weight during pregnancy.
expected.
you dont know what kind of hell it is.
so please, just support her most of all.
Suggest doing things togther or especially since its summer suggest doing things that you can walk to. Just had my son 4 months ago and I was the same way I gained about 50 lbs which is a ton. I can tell you though my son turned out fine and my DR wasn't to worried so don't be too worried. If its nice out take a wlak after dinner or go to a festival where you have to walk, sometimes first trimester sucks because the tiredness and neausea, it can be hard to do anything. be supportive & postive.
take her for a walk..say wanna walk to some place she likes to go
i wouldnt worry about her weight right now. she's going to HAVE to gain a good deal of weight so that she and her baby are safe and healthy. some women gain up to 50 or 55 lbs, and most babies arent more than 10 lbs.
however, she shouldnt be eating all garbage. sure, there'll be some MAJOR cravings, but as long as she tries to fit in some fresh fruit or veggies, she should be good.
wait until after she gives birth. then, about a month after the baby's arrived, she should start to lose weight.
congrats! =)
maybe you should get her to have exercise in disguise start taking her out for evening walks. and when you guys go to buy groceries, just be like no honey, i'll do it, then you use that time to buy healthy food, no junk. plenty of juice and some red meat. good luck!
shes pregant let her eat! plus if you didnt want her to gain weight you shouldn't got her pregnant
the fact that you phrased the question like this concerns me.there is nothing you can do, except get her to be pissed at you
she will have some more energy again in about another 6 weeks...even if she gains a lot and believe me some athletic types can gain a lot just like everyone else.chances are she will lose it quickly afterward if you are supportive about the weight and help her with the baby.being frazzled by the baby will certainly not make her want to exercise
please becareful how you phrase things to her from now until after she has the baby.depending she may stay her sweet self or she may become very bitchy...either way she can't help it...it will be whatever it winds up being.you can get angry at her, but just be understanding .i swear she will return to her normal self after the birth
ooo you should read a book or two by men who have been through what you are about to be going through
ooo and you should read a book called The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy.you will understand what she is going through and she'll like the book too..it's by Vicky Iovine
Marry her before the baby comes.
How about learning a little about the changes a woman's body goes through during pregnancy? It's normal for a woman to need extra rest in the first trimester. And if she was very thin to begin with it's not unusual for a woman to gain more weight.
You better work on your attitude because when those hormones start kicking in she's going to be kicking your @ss if you don't treat her right.
I think it's different for everyone. My mom gained a lot of weight very quickly when she was pregnant with me. She eventually plateaued a little and was fine. I wouldn't really be overly concerned at this point. It's great to hear that you are supportive and considerate of the life of your baby.
