Does pregnancy cause weight gain?

Question

My body is changing so much and I'm noticing a lot of weight gain. Does pregnancy naturally cause weight gain, or should I be concerned about it?

Urvi Gupta · Answer

After my long IVF journey, I was actually happy to see the weight gain because it meant my baby was growing safely. Please be kind to your body during this beautiful phase.

Revathi Bhat · Answer

Yes, it absolutely does, and it is 100% normal. Average weight gain is around 10 to 15 kg, so don't stress about it now; you can easily lose it post-delivery.

Obviously yes, you are growing a whole human inside you! It's not just fat; it is the baby, the placenta, amniotic fluid, and extra blood, so stop worrying about the scale.

Haan, bilkul weight badhta hai aur ye toh bahut achhi baat hai. Hamare ghar pe kehte hain ki baby ke vikas ke liye thoda vajan badhna bahut zaroori hai, iski bilkul chinta mat karo.

Rashmi Thakkar · Answer

Yes, gaining weight is a completely normal and healthy part of pregnancy.

Sharada Iyer · Answer

My Amma told me not to look at the scale and just eat wholesome meals. My doctor also monitored my weight to ensure it was a healthy gain, so just trust your gynac's feedback.
