What You Need To Know About Pregnancy Weight Gain by 9jatrend: 7:27am On Sep 01, 2015 |
Weight gain is something that is expected in pregnancy. However, the weight you gain in pregnancy is dependent on factors such as your body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy, activity level, genetics and metabolism. Women within the normal weight category tend to gain between 25 - 35 pounds during pregnancy; this means that women who are naturally big pre-pregnancy might gain more than that. While weight gain in pregnancy may be an issue for most women because of the stress of losing it after delivery, some happen to lose weight during pregnancy. Basically, weight gain should be monitored so it doesn't become too much or less. When the weight is less in pregnancy, its implication could be a very small baby, premature birth or even both as the case may be. On the reverse side , when too much weight is gained it increases the risks of hypertension, diabetes, development of stretch marks, complications at labor and delivery. The amount of weight gain required by the body at each stage of pregnancy differs. At the first trimester, the fetus is just developing and still small, you don't need much weight to support the baby. As you enter the second trimester, when the baby's size increases, you need more weight and calories then. In the third trimester, the baby's weight increases much, yours may just be maintained or drop a little as the tighter abdominal quarters experienced around that time may cause you to consume little food. A gradual weight gain in pregnancy is advised with your doctor's guide. Source - www.9jatrend.com 2 Likes 2 Shares |
