Im at 22 weeks now and ive put on a fair bit, dont know if its on track or too much. My next checkup is still away and i keep comparing with others online. how much had u gained around this point?
I used to weigh myself every day and stress, honestly it was not healthy. The doctor told me weekly is enough and there is a range, not one fixed number. Try not to panic like I did, just track it gently.
I was around 6 kg up at that point and my gynac was happy with it. I kept up light walking which she had okayed and it helped. Everyone's body is different so dont compare too much.
My doctor told me roughly half a kg a week in the second trimester is normal, so by 22 weeks somewhere around 5 to 7 kg total is common. But it really depends on your starting weight. She always said dont fixate on the number, focus on steady gain.
There is a healthy range and your doctor sets your target based on your BMI. So a number that is right for me may not be right for you. Best to ask her at your next visit.
