I'm trying to keep track of my weight gain during pregnancy. Could someone tell me how much weight gain is generally expected week by week during pregnancy?
Every pregnancy chart is unique depending on your starting BMI. Your doctor will track this during your monthly checkups, so let them monitor it instead of comparing with others.
I used to panic because I didn't gain any weight until 16 weeks! But then suddenly in the third trimester it increased. It is completely normal for the pattern to vary.
In the first trimester, you barely gain any weight, some even lose due to vomiting. The actual weight gain starts after 20 weeks, so don't worry if the scale isn't moving right now.
Because of my PCOS, I was tracking weight very carefully with my doctor. Gynac told me to focus on eating nutritious food rather than checking the weight scale daily, which kept me safe.
We tend to worry about every single gram after going through such a long journey. But please breathe easy, your baby is growing beautifully and your body knows exactly what to do.
Just focus on home-cooked healthy food and light walking. I gained about 13 kg overall and had a very smooth normal delivery, so don't stress about the weekly numbers.
Arre, don't track it week by week, फालतू tension ho jayegi. Normally pure pregnancy me 10 to 12 kg gain hota h, and everything goes back to normal later, trust your doctor na.
