I know weight gain is normal in pregnancy, but I'm a bit confused about the timeline. When should I typically start gaining weight, and how much is healthy during each trimester?
Looking back, I remember worrying so much about my slow weight gain in the beginning. But trust me, once the second trimester starts, the weight comes naturally. Now my toddler keeps me on my toes and all that weight is gone!
Actually yaar, don't worry about weight in the first three months. I started gaining real weight only after 18-20 weeks. Just enjoy your food and let your gynac track the scale.
In my first trimester, I actually lost weight because of terrible morning sickness and vomiting. My doctor told me not to worry as baby gets enough nutrients. You will start gaining steadily in the second trimester when u feel better.
I am in my 3rd trimester now and I feel like I gain weight just by breathing, haha! In the first trimester, there was zero gain. Now I am just a round balloon waiting to pop, so don't worry, your turn will come.
My weight gain was a bit irregular because of my thyroid levels. It is very important to get your thyroid checked regularly during pregnancy as it affects weight. Keep following up with your gynac to make sure everything is in range.
