Im in 5th month and already gained quite a bit, everyone at ghar keeps commenting. Now thoda tension ho raha hai ki kitna is okay. How much weight gain is actually fine through the whole pregnancy?
If you have gestational diabetes, monitoring your weight gain is quite important. Try to eat balanced meals with complex carbs and protein, and let your doctor guide you on the ideal range.
Please don't focus too much on the numbers, your body is doing the beautiful job of growing a life. I gained 16 kgs and felt so conscious, but now looking at my healthy baby, it was all worth it. You are doing great.
The ideal weight gain varies depending on your pre-pregnancy BMI, so there is no single right number. It's best to discuss this with your gynecologist to see what is healthy for your specific body.
I felt so anxious watching my weight go up every month. But slowly I realized my body was just adapting to keep my little one safe. Just focus on eating well and staying happy.
