How much weight increase in pregnancy?

Question

Im almost done with my second trimester and ive gained around 6-7 kg already. My mom says im putting on too fast but doc didnt say anything. How much is normal overall till delivery?

Yami Anand · Answer

I used to weigh myself everyday and panic, total waste of energy. The week to week jumps dont matter, its the overall trend ur gynac looks at. Trust her and relax na.

Meena Singh · Answer

My gynac said for normal BMI around 10 to 12 kg over the whole pregnancy is typical. But it depends on ur starting weight, she tracked mine at every visit. Dont compare with others, the doctor sets ur range.

Roughly 10-12 kg for most, but ur doctor decides whats right for u.

First pregnancy I gained 11 kg, second around 9. As long as the doc is happy with ur weight at checkups dont obsess. Most goes in second and third trimester anyway.

Mine was watched closely coz of sugar, so my dietician kept my gain controlled. Steady slow gain is the goal, not sudden jumps. If u suddenly gain a lot in a short time do mention to gynac, it should be checked.
