ideal weight gain for pregnancy

Your midwife or doctor will let you know how much weight is ideal for you to put on during your pregnancy. If you have a normal BMI they say between 11 - 16kg weight gain is fine.. I at 29w and I think I have gained around 10kg so far, but in the beginning weight gain was very slow! At this stage I think your fine :) But remember weight gain is not all you putting on weight.. bub, fluid, placenta all add to it.

ve only gained 13 pounds thus far. My doctor always said for me 20-30 pounds was ideal during pregnancy. Anything after can cause complications and/or be tougher to loose after baby. Also a lot of my mommy friends said they gained most of their weight their last month of pregnancy when baby goes faster.

s a lot to gain at what you are. Ideal weight is 25 to 30 pounds. But you were very thin to begin with so I think you are just fine! Your body needs fat for energy for your growing baby with my last son I started at 118 and when I finally had him I was 142.

Ideal pregnancy weight gain is all based off your starting weight/height ratio.

Unless your dr is concerened (and they will tell you) just enjoy the pregnancy!

With my first I gained most of my weight in the first few months. I just looked fat for awhile till my bump started showing. Lol. For the last few months I barely gained anything.

s based off of your stating weight/height. For my first pregnancy I was told to aim for 30/35lb and this time around having leftover baby weight my dr lowered my goal to 25/30lb. My sister is a taller than me and her aim was 45/50lb because. Basically eat healthy and try and keeping you and baby healthy.

How much weight did everyone gain in their first trimester? I'm a FTM and I've already gained 8lbs, just entered my second trimester (14wks) today. It's hard to go for walks as well, whenever I walk just up the road and back at least one side of my hip will start hurting and then I have to lay with my feet up. Any one else have that problem?

The ideal amount is 25-35. By the last 2 months or so you'll be gaining a pound per week. Just be careful I don't think its too much personally. If your pre pregnancy weight is normal you'll gain more weight than an over weight person who will gain very little to nothing.

I think 30 pounds is probably the ideal weight gain for most pregnant women.I lost ten pounds, then gained 20 back with my daughter. With my son I gained ten pounds total.
