I'm in my seventh month, and I'm trying to monitor my weight gain. What is considered a healthy or normal amount of weight to gain by this stage of pregnancy?
Oh, I remember staring at the scale in my 7th month and panicking about the weight gain! My baby is a toddler now and I lost all that weight easily. Gaining about 1.5-2 kgs is normal in the third trimester, so just focus on staying active and eating well.
Listen, don't stress too much about the numbers on the scale right now! Usually, gaining around 1.5 to 2 kg in the 7th month is totally standard as the baby grows rapidly. Just eat healthy, enjoy your cravings, and let your body do its thing!
Usually, gaining around 2 kgs is expected, but please monitor if you have sudden weight gain along with swollen feet or face. I had high blood pressure issues which showed up as sudden water weight, so it's always best to let your gynac check your weight and BP at your next appointment.
This is the time when the soul inside is growing beautifully, so accept your changing body with gratitude. Gaining a few kilos is just God's way of preparing you for motherhood. Eat healthy, keep your thoughts positive, and take good care of yourself.
