How to not gain weight too much???

My pre-pregnancy weight is 58kg and I’m now at 29 weeks weighing 71kg. I was 62kg at my checkup on 2/12/22. My gynae has not made any comments about my weight gain and is telling me to eat more based on my baby’s estimated weight. But I’m already gaining so much???? Is there any reason why I’m gaining so much and how can I slow downnnn???

I am guessing that you have a solid or naturally big bones/big body genes but not fat? Hence, assuming because of your own body weight and in addition with our little human weight, it makes you feel that you are overweight. While on the other hand, your gynae thinks that you are not meeting the standard suggested/average weight at the 29 weeks period. You can't slow down weight gain as it will either affect you/baby during this period. You can eat in moderation but also ensuring it is healthy with sufficient nutrients. Having said that, youve to know that it is hormonal changes hence causing all this weight lost/gain.
