About Cheri Purpur Expertise I can answer questions about pregnancy, labor and birth. I am especially skilled in the areas of home birth and water birth. I am not interested in answering questions about possible pregnanacies from people taking risks with sexual behavior.
Experience I am an RN and a retired midwife. I had a home birth midwifery practice. I have taught prenatal classes for many years and I train Doulas.
Question i was 94 pounds when i got pregnant and i'm 29 weeks and have gained a total of 28 lbs, Am i at normal weight or have i gained to much?
Answer Hello Analiz. You need to gain at least 35 pounds to ensure proper brain growth for your baby- make sure you are eating LOTS of protein- eggs, fish, meat, chicken, cheese, yogurt. Also lots of unrefined carbs- brown rice, baked potatoes, cooked whole grains. Limit your intake of sweets and sugar of all kinds- only 3 pieces of fruit a day and little or NO juice. Hope that helps- Cheri.
