Im 5 months now and already gained a fair bit, my saas keeps saying eat more for baccha but i dont want too much. Confused how much is actually okay in total. Anyone with an idea?
Feeling anxious about weight gain is so, so normal during pregnancy, you're definitely not alone. It's confusing because everyone has different experiences. What's most important is to maintain a healthy diet and stay moderately active, and your body will gain what it needs. Your doctor is the best person to give you a personalized weight gain range, please talk to them for peace of mind.
Haha, for me it was double the trouble, so double the weight gain advice too! But generally, for a single pregnancy, it depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Usually, somewhere between 11-16 kgs is considered healthy. Best to discuss with your gynac, because with multiples, it's a whole different game, trust me!
This is a really important question, especially for those of us with a history like PCOS, where weight management can be tricky. It's not a one-size-fits-all answer. Your doctor will give you a target range based on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Don't feel pressured by others' experiences; focus on what's healthy for you and your baby, as advised by your gynac.
Most pregnancy apps and health trackers actually give you a personalized weight gain goal based on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Generally, for a healthy BMI, it's around 11-16 kg. But if you were underweight or overweight, that range changes. It's helpful to track it weekly and discuss with your doctor to stay within a healthy range.
My saas ji always said 'double roti khao, double sehat banegi.' But honestly, my doctor said it's not about eating for two, but eating wisely for one plus baby. They usually have a chart based on your initial weight. So, listen to the elders for love, but the doctor for the actual weight advice, haan!
