Common Questions and Answers about Normal weight bmi
weight
NIH guideline is based on your prepreg BMI. If your BMI was normal prepreg then 25-35 lbs. If it was underweight then up to 40. If overweight15-25. If obese 11-20. Your doc will definitely let you know if you're gaining too much.
In general if your BMI was normal try to stay in the high normal/low overweight range if possible for your height or it could be difficult to lose it post preg. I think what you eat is most important though.
I think they worry about things such as preterm labor when you aren't gaining enough or if you start underweight. I'm pregnant with twins and I'm normal weight but they made it clear that I should aim to gain at least the minimum amt of weight in my 1st and second trimester to avoid preterm labor. Her doctor will probably check her weight and ask her to gain the required amount which is a little more than she would have to gain if she was average weight.
unfortunately my BMI is at 830 9. I had weight loss surgery 2 years ago, lost 50 pounds, and then gained it back. This pregnancy was a surprise and my boyfriend and I are thrilled but I am nervous about my weight. Its not like we can use the weight now lol the best we can do is to be healthy during all pregnancies. My doctor told me that I shouldn't game any more than 11 to 20 pounds during the pregnancy.
I hope your at least 5 feet tall....
Eat a good, hearty breakfast (preferrably including some fiber such as oatmeal). Without a good breakfast of that character, many of us set ourselves up for improper eating practices for much of the day and evening.
Eating healthy is good, but only halfway there. You also need to be relaxed and calm enough not to be using food for comfort (else, you'll tend to consume too much food).
If your pre-pregnancy weight was in the healthy range for your height (a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9), you should gain between 25 and 35 pounds, gaining 1 to 5 pounds in the first trimester and about 1 pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy for the optimal growth of your baby.If you were underweight for your height at conception (a BMI below 18.5), you should gain 28 to 40 pounds.If you were overweight for your height (a BMI of 25 to 29.9), you should gain 15 to 25 pounds.
If you have reported your height and weight accurately, your BMI is 20.7, which is perfect. You do not need to lose weight. If you did need to lose weight, it would have to be under parental supervision. The type of normal play that nine year-olds do should provide you with enough exercise. In any case, if you are truly nine years old, you should be talking to your parents about these issues and not asking advice from random strangers on the internet.
9 which is just a teeny bit over the
I think it has to do with its initial calculation of your BMI. If your pre pregnancy BMI is considered overweight, it adjusts how much weight gain is "normal" but doesn't adjust the weekly development.
BMI isn't a reliable or accurate measure of healthy weight though, so as the poster above said, if you feel good and your doc says its all good, no worries.
