Gynac keeps writing my BMI in the file and said it matters for pregnancy but didnt really explain much. Im on the heavier side so thoda tension ho raha hai. Can someone explain what this actually means for me and the baby?
Dekho, BMI is just a tool to guide your doctor about your weight gain plan. Bilkul stress mat lo is number ka, everyone's body is different. Just focus on eating healthy ghar ka khana and staying active.
Honestly, right now in my 9th month, I don't even want to look at the weighing scale or calculate any BMI! It's just a number to measure weight relative to your height. My doctor says my weight gain is fine, so I am just enjoying my laddoos now.
BMI is basically body mass index, which doctors use to check if weight is in a healthy range. Since I had a loss earlier, my doctor was very specific about my weight gain limits based on my pre-pregnancy BMI. Please discuss this gently with your doctor to understand your personal target.
Having PCOS, my starting BMI was on the higher side so I was super worried about gestational diabetes. My gynac explained that BMI is just a baseline to plan our diet. Don't worry too much, just eat nutritious meals and stay active.
I am not an expert, but my doctor calculated my BMI during the first checkup to see how much weight I should target. For me, they said a 10-12 kg gain is fine. It varies for everyone, so ask your own doctor about your specific target.
With twins, my BMI went out of the window anyway haha! It's just a formula of your weight and height. Don't worry about maintaining a perfect BMI, you are growing a whole human (or two!) inside you.
Yes, BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It calculates if you are underweight, normal weight, or overweight before pregnancy based on your height. Trackers like BabyCenter have cool charts showing how much weight you should ideally gain according to your initial BMI.
Oh god, I Googled BMI so much during my pregnancy and got so stressed! It is just Body Mass Index to see if your weight is okay for your height. Honestly, don't overanalyze these numbers, just follow whatever your gynac advises.
