Im 5 months now and have gained quite a bit already. Everyone keeps commenting on my weight which is so annoying. How much is normal to gain in whole pregnancy? Just want to know if im on track.
I have gained about 5 kg so far in my second trimester. Is this normal? Did anyone else start gaining weight suddenly after the morning sickness stopped?
I felt so conscious of my changing body initially, but I ended up gaining 14 kg by the 9th month. Looking back, it was all necessary for my baby's growth. Embrace the bump, it is a beautiful phase!
It varies for everyone, but a healthy gain is usually between 11-15 kg. Most of it is just baby, placenta, and extra fluid. Focus on nourishing your body right now, you can easily lose it postpartum while breastfeeding.
Average weight gain is around 10 to 15 kg, but if you have gestational diabetes like I did, you have to be very careful. My doctor kept me on a strict diet so I didn't gain excessive weight, which helped keep my sugar levels in check.
I was so obsessed with the scale and worried I wasn't gaining enough in my first trimester! But actually, weight gain is mostly in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Try not to stress about weekly numbers as long as your gynac says baby's growth is fine.
Yaar, actually don't worry about the scale too much. Normal weight gain is around 12 kg, but every body behaves differently. Just eat clean, avoid 'eating for two' myth, and stay active.
Standard weight gain is 10-15 kg for a normal BMI. It's not just fat; it includes baby weight, amniotic fluid, and increased blood volume. If you are gaining too fast or not at all, discuss it with your gynac during your routine checkup.
