Baby wish
pregnant and stretch marks
AnonymousGuest ·
Hi everyone,
I hope you can help me out.
I've been quite strict with my diet over the past few months, using meal replacements, and I've lost over 15 kg.
Mainly because I wasn't at a healthy weight and we were trying to conceive. Now, to our surprise, I just found out that I'm pregnant. (So happy, of course, very unexpected but so desired!) Only, I feel so bad and guilty now because of my 'diet'. I've stopped it immediately, but could this have done any harm, do you think? I'm so unsure.

First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy!!
And that's great and impressive that you've lost 15 kilos!
How far along are you now? You absolutely don't need to feel guilty. As soon as you found out, you stopped right away—that's exactly what you should have done. I understand your concern, but it's really not necessary. There are so many women who lose weight during pregnancy, either because of the nausea or because the pregnancy "eats away" at the body.
I do recommend seeing a good dietitian. They can put together a good plan for you and your little one so you don't gain too much weight and your baby gets everything it needs. And you, of course.
