im 22 weeks and put on around 6 kg already. dont know if thats too much or normal. my gynac hasnt said anything but im a little worried. how much did u all gain by this stage?
Weight gain depends entirely on your BMI before pregnancy. Because of my gestational diabetes, my doctor kept me on a strict diet and allowed me to gain only 7-8 kg. Keep track of your weight and avoid eating for two, especially sugary foods.
Haha, I am gaining weight just looking at food! Jokes apart, my doctor said 11-15 kg is standard, but my cravings for hot samosas and sweets are not helping. I try to balance my treats with healthy salads so my weight stays in a safe zone.
Just focus on eating simple ghar ka khana like dal, chawal, and green veggies to gain healthy weight, no need to buy expensive imported protein powders or fancy organic foods! Save that money for baby's vaccination and hospital delivery packages which are getting so costly nowadays.
My weight shot up very quickly in the first trimester because of my thyroid levels. Please get your thyroid and other blood tests done regularly as they directly affect your weight gain. Your doctor will guide you on the ideal range based on your reports.
Look, normal weight gain is usually around 10 to 12 kg, but don't obsess over numbers. Focus on eating nutrient-dense home-cooked food rather than junk. As long as your scans show the baby's weight is fine, your own weight gain doesn't need to be perfect.
