Im in my 5th month and already put on quite a bit, my MIL keeps commenting that im eating too much. Honestly i just want to know what is the normal range so i stop worrying. How much did u all gain?
My mother kept saying eat for two but my gynac said thats a myth na. Slow steady gain is the healthy way. She tracked it each visit and that worked best for me. Trust ur doctor on the number.
It really depends on ur starting weight yaar. With my first I gained around 11-12 kg, second one was more. Doctor will set ur target based on ur height and weight, dont compare with others.
Generally they say somewhere around 9 to 13 kg for normal weight women, but it changes if u were underweight or overweight before. Best to ask ur doctor ur personal target at a checkup.
I keep worrying about this too! My doctor told me roughly 10-12 kg total is normal for someone my build but its spread over the months. Did anyone else feel like the second trimester gain is fast? mine jumped suddenly.
They check ur weight at every routine visit anyway, so u dont need to obsess over it at home. Just eat healthy home food, dont go overboard. The doctor will tell u if u are gaining too much or too less.
I had to watch my weight closely coz of gestational diabetes. So mine was monitored every visit. The right number is different for everyone, pls let ur gynac decide ur range, not a fixed number from internet.
