Im 20 weeks and already feeling like ive put on quite a bit. Thoda tension ho raha hai whether its too much or normal. Curious what the usual range is for the whole nine months.
I literally panicked when I gained 5 kgs in just one month during my second trimester! But my gynac reassured me that weight gain isn't linear and jumps suddenly in some months. As long as your BP and baby's growth are fine, it is absolutely normal.
Because of my thyroid, my weight fluctuated a lot and I had to be very careful. It is best to let your gynac track your weight gain because they monitor it alongside your thyroid levels and blood tests. Just stick to your doctor's regular check-ups to make sure everything is on track.
I put on about 11 kgs during my pregnancy. After my C-section, recovery took some time so I couldn't exercise immediately, but the weight naturally started dropping with breastfeeding. Be kind to your body, it is doing a beautiful job.
Usually, gaining around 10 to 15 kgs is considered very normal and healthy. My doctor always said not to focus on the numbers but on eating nutritious food. I gained 12 kgs and managed to lose it slowly with light walking post-delivery.
Actually yaar, it totally depends on your pre-pregnancy weight. Some of my friends gained only 8 kgs, while I put on almost 14 kgs! Don't stress about weight gain right now, just focus on keeping your baby healthy.
At this point in my 3rd trimester, I feel like a walking potato and have stopped looking at the weighing scale altogether! Honestly, expect to gain anywhere between 10-15 kgs depending on what your doc says. Just eat your favorite healthy foods and worry about the weight next year!
