Im 22 weeks and my MIL keeps commenting that im gaining too much. Now im stressing whether my weight is on track or not. Is there some week by week idea of how much is normal? Dont want to over or under eat.
I didnt track week by week, no time and no need honestly. My doctor checked it at each visit and that was enough. Focus on eating right rather than the weekly number.
My gynac said the total healthy gain depends on your starting weight, but roughly very little in the first trimester and then about half a kg a week in the later trimesters for many women. She told me not to obsess weekly, just track the overall trend. Your doctor will set the right range for your body.
Honestly dont weigh yourself every week, it just stresses you. Most of the gain happens in the second and third trimester. Eat well, stay active and let the doctor track the numbers at visits.
