I'm in my first trimester and my family is already telling me to eat for two, but I'm worried about gaining too much weight. What is considered a healthy and normal amount of weight to gain throughout pregnancy?
According to my pregnancy tracker app, a healthy weight gain is usually between 11 to 16 kg for a normal BMI. The app had a great weight log feature where I could input my weight weekly to see if I was on track. It really helps you stay disciplined and healthy!
Listen, please don't stress about the numbers on the scale right now. Your body is growing a whole human being, so some weight gain is absolutely necessary and healthy. Just focus on eating nutritious home-cooked meals and let your doctor guide you if there's any concern.
I'm currently planning to conceive and honestly quite curious about how much weight I'll gain. I keep reading that it depends on your starting BMI. It’s so helpful to see how much other moms actually gained during their journeys.
Everyone's body is different, dear, so don't compare your weight with others. Generally, doctors say 10 to 12 kgs is normal, but focus more on eating healthy and keeping a positive mind. Praying for your good health and a peaceful journey.
I gained almost 15 kg during my pregnancy and was so worried about losing it later. Now that my baby is an active toddler, chasing him around has naturally shed most of that weight anyway. Enjoy this time and don't worry, your body knows exactly what to do.
Oh, don't even ask me about weight gain, my cravings for hot samosas and sweets have taken over, haha! Usually, gaining around 10-15 kg is considered normal depending on your pre-pregnancy weight. Just enjoy your food in moderation and don't stress over the scale too much!
Weight gain varies a lot from person to person, so it's always safest to check with your gynac. They will tell you exactly how much is healthy for your specific body type. Sudden weight gain can sometimes indicate issues like high BP, so let your doctor monitor it at every visit.
