Many women are unwilling to have a baby after marriage because pregnancy can lead to weight gain and a larger body shape. Indeed, every pregnant woman will experience significant weight gain during pregnancy, but there should be a limit to weight gain during pregnancy, and excessive growth is not a good thing. How many pounds is normal to gain during a pregnancy?
During the entire pregnancy, it is relatively normal for a pregnant woman to gain 10-12 kilograms in weight. If the weight is severely overweight, it can actually be detrimental to the health of both the mother and the fetus. If the pregnant woman is seriously overweight, pregnancy complications such as diabetes and hypertension will come to her. Even without pregnancy complications, if a pregnant woman gains weight too quickly, the size of the fetus will still be relatively large, making it difficult to give birth.
Pregnant women with low body weight need to be taken seriously. Most pregnant women experience slow weight gain due to malnutrition, which can directly affect fetal development and even lead to fetal underdevelopment. There are also some pregnant women whose weight gain is too slow, which is caused by diabetes during pregnancy, which requires active examination to be diagnosed.
In the early stages of pregnancy, the weight gain of pregnant women is generally not significant. Due to the fact that the fetus requires less nutrition at this stage, and pregnant women also have morning sickness, it is difficult for them to gain weight due to poor appetite, and even weight loss may occur. These are all normal phenomena. During mid to late pregnancy, the fetus develops rapidly, and the appetite of pregnant women gradually improves, leading to faster weight gain.
