Im 20 weeks and have put on around 5 kg already, my MIL keeps commenting that its too much. Now im a bit conscious about it. Whats the normal total weight one should gain over the full pregnancy?
Because of my sugar, my dietician kept a close eye on my weight gain so it stayed steady. The amount really depends on your individual case. If you have any condition, follow the plan your doctor gives you.
My doc said it depends on your starting weight, but for an average BMI it is usually around 11 to 16 kg over the whole pregnancy. She tracked mine at each visit. The right number for you is personal, so let your gynac set the target.
It varies a lot person to person. I gained different amounts in each pregnancy and both were fine. Dont fixate on the scale, focus on eating well and your doctor monitoring it. The healthy range depends on your build.
