  • Weight Gain During Pregnancy?

    QUESTION

    Dear Nutritionist,
    I am 26 years old and 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby. In the first trimester I lost 9 pounds due to not feeling well and lack of appetite. Since about week 13 my appetite has better, but I have still only gained 2 of the lbs back.

    How quickly should I be gaining and do you suggest any certain foods to help? I have added a boost supplement daily and try to eat a well balanced diet with many snacks in between my meals. My doctor checked my thyroid levels which were normal.

    I see a nutritionist who prescribed Krill Oil for me to take during the pregnancy. He said it would be very good for the brain development of the baby. Everything I have read about it sounds positive, I would just like to have a second opinion if you don't mind.
