Im 5 months along but my weight is barely moving and gynac wants me to gain a bit more. Mostly i eat home food but nothing seems to help. Tamil la enna saapta weight kootum? pls share your tips.
My doctor told me to focus on nutrient-dense foods like dry fruits, milk, and ragi to gain healthy weight during pregnancy. Since I had a C-section later, keeping my body strong during pregnancy really helped me recover faster.
Don't worry about gaining too much weight, the baby only needs a healthy maternal weight gain of about 10-12 kgs. Just focus on a protein-rich diet like dals, paneer, and eggs, and check your weight chart at every prenatal visit.
Actually, gaining weight doesn't mean eating double, yaar! Just add healthy fats like homemade ghee, nuts, and ragi kanji to your normal diet, it really works without making you feel bloated.
When I was at my parents' place, my mother used to make traditional ragi kanji and give me a banana with warm milk daily to help me gain healthy weight. It is safe, natural, and very nourishing for both you and the baby.
Gaining weight should be healthy, not just eating junk. I focused on small active walks daily and yoga after my gynac approved it, along with nutritious foods like ragi malt and boiled eggs.
Healthy weight gain is important, but please don't try any quick remedies on your own. If you are not gaining enough weight, it is best to discuss a proper diet plan with your gynac to ensure the baby's growth is safe.
