Q: What do I do with the weight now?

Pre pregnancy weight was 133. Found out I was having twins at 8 week u/s!! Sadly, at the 13 week NT scan, one of the babies showed no hb. According to the multiples book I was reading, I should have consumed 2500cals/day and to reduce the risk of preterm labor I should be +24lbs by 24weeks. I was on track to meeting those requirements! However, with the recent discovery that now i'll be having a singleton, I'm 4lbs over what I should be at 14 weeks. My question is, can I try to lose the weight? Or should I just try to stick to this weight until 18 weeks (which is what i'm weighing at now)? Which I think would just be the same thing technically right? Now that i'm not high risk, I can do more activity like a normal pregnancy. Just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were. Thanks in advance!!

Don't worry about the 4 lbs just slow down a little and it will smooth out over the long hall. Sorry about your little peanut :(.

No 4lbs. Is not going to hurt anything! If the doctors were concetned about your weight they wouldve said something to you. And being that your so tall, 142 is a healthy weight.
