Monika Pathak · Answer

I have already gained 14 kg in my third trimester and feel like a slow-moving panda! My gynac says it's perfectly normal though, so I'm not stressing.

Normal weight gain is usually around 10 to 15 kg. Just confirm with your doctor according to your BMI.

I'm in my fourth month and have only gained 1 kg so far. Is that okay, or should I be gaining more by now?

Please don't focus too much on the numbers on the scale. Your body is doing the beautiful work of growing a new life, and you can always lose the weight later.

My weight shot up very quickly because of thyroid fluctuations. Make sure to get your regular blood tests and keep your doctor updated on any sudden weight changes.

Tanuja Pati · Answer

It completely depends on your starting weight. If your BMI was normal, gaining 10-15 kg is standard, so just eat clean and avoid empty junk food calories.

Ghar pe everyone tells me to eat for two and gain weight, but my doctor advised aiming for 11-12 kg. I prefer to follow what my doctor suggests for a healthy delivery.

I used to check my weight literally every three days and panic if it went up! Honestly, as long as your baby's growth scans are fine, please don't overthink this like I did.
