Im in second trimester and the weight is going up really quick, faster than I expected. Im not even eating that much extra. Is this normal or should I be worried? feeling thoda conscious.
Rapid weight gain can sometimes be due to sudden water retention, which could be linked to blood pressure changes. It's best to get your BP checked and mention this to your doctor during your next scan to rule out any issues.
Honestly, I felt like I just looked at a samosa and gained 2 kgs instantly during my pregnancy! It’s mostly just baby weight, amniotic fluid, and our bodies doing extra work, so don't stress about it too much as long as your doctor says you are fine.
Please don't worry too much about the numbers on the scale right now. Your body is storing fluids, blood volume is increasing, and the baby is growing, so some weight gain is absolutely natural.
I was gaining weight very rapidly in my second trimester, which turned out to be due to gestational diabetes. Please get your oral glucose tolerance test done on time and keep an eye on your carb and sugar intake just to be safe.
My mother-in-law used to say that gaining weight means the baby is growing well, but I always kept my doctor in the loop. It’s mostly water retention and increased blood, but do discuss it with your gynac during your regular checkup to ensure it's healthy.
