How much weight pregnancy?

Question

I'm curious about the average weight gain during pregnancy. How much weight is it normal or healthy to gain throughout the entire pregnancy? I want to make sure I'm on track.

Focus on eating home-cooked healthy meals like green veggies, fruits, and daal, and weight will manage itself. Normal gain is around 10-12 kgs, but if you have sudden rapid swelling or weight gain, please check with your doctor immediately.

Hamare yahan toh bolte hain ki do logon ka khana hai, but that's not true. Just eat normal healthy ghar ka khana. Gaining around 10-12 kilo is very normal, beta. God bless you.

Haan, normally toh 10 se 15 kilo weight badhta hi hai sabka. Par har body alag hoti hai na, so tension mat lo. Bas healthy khao aur active raho.

I've gained 16 kgs in my 3rd trimester and honestly I feel like a rolling potato, haha! But my doctor says it's mostly baby weight, water, and placenta, so I am not stressing.

I just delivered last month and lost 7 kg almost instantly! I had gained 12 kg during pregnancy. It’s mostly fluid and baby weight, so don't stress about the scale right now.

Because of my gestational diabetes, my doctor kept a very strict check on my weight gain, and I was told to limit it to 8 kgs. Keep an eye on sugar and carb intake, and let your gynac guide you on the target weight.

I kept checking my weight every single week and got so anxious when I gained 14 kgs! But my doctor said as long as the baby is growing fine, the numbers on scale don't matter that much. Please don't stress about it too much like I did.

My MIL kept feeding me ghee laddoos saying I need to gain weight, but my gynac said 11-12 kg is more than enough. Listen to your doctor's advice on weight, ghar wale toh feed karte hi rahenge!

Yami Mehta · Answer

Anywhere between 10 to 15 kg is totally normal! 🌸 Just enjoy your food and keep walking daily. Your doctor will track it at every visit anyway, so don't worry! 🥰

Poonam Joshi · Answer

With my PCOS, my weight was already on the higher side, so my doctor advised me to gain only about 6 to 8 kgs. It really depends on your pre-pregnancy weight, so don't compare yourself to others and ask your gynac what's ideal for you.

Indira Chaturvedi · Answer

Usually 10-15 kg is normal, but it depends on your body. Do ask your doctor on your next checkup.

Hema Waghmare · Answer

I gained about 13 kgs and had a smooth normal delivery. Most of that weight just goes away within a few months after birth. Just stay active and positive!
