Im in my second trimester now and already feeling like ive put on quite a bit. MIL keeps commenting which is annoying. How much weight gain is actually normal over the whole 9 months? just want a rough idea.
Because of my sugar issue my doctor wanted me to gain on the lower side and watch it closely. Steady gain matters more than the total honestly. Better to ask your gynac for your personal target.
Roughly 10 to 13 kg for most women, but it really varies person to person. Dont fixate on the number, focus on eating well and your doctor watching your trend. I gained different amounts in both my pregnancies and both babies were healthy.
My doctor said about 10 to 12 kg over the whole pregnancy is the usual healthy range if your starting weight is normal. It depends on your BMI though, less if you are overweight to start. She tracked my gain at every visit.
