How to control weight gain in 3rd trimester?

So my midwife today told me i need to watch my diet as i have already put on 9 kg at 25w3. And she is worried 3rd trimester weight gain will take over what's recommended.

I have a good appetite and eat good food (no junk food) and obviously been having a bit of chocolate lately...

I tried to reduce my portions but i am hungry.

Just wondering if anyone had tips on how to semi diet or control weight gain later in pregnancy?

Had my GTT today and i don't have GD.
And my BMI pre pregnancy was normal. Higher range of normal i am not skinny but not overweight...

I wouldn't worry too much OP. Looking back I had put on 9kg at 25wks. Don't think midwife has weighed me since booking but I've been tracking it myself. My bmi was 21 pre-pregnancy. My weight gain seems to be mostly bump and only a little all over body fat. I'm gaining at the upper limit of normal but midwife hasn't mentioned weight at all. I'm just trying to stay fairly active and keep eating fairly healthy. Will try not to go to town over Xmas though! I'm currently 36 weeks.
