During pregnancy, the embryo in the uterus will grow from a small embryo to a complete baby. As the baby continues to grow, the weight of the pregnant woman will also continue to increase. At the same time, a large amount of high nutrient substances will be consumed during pregnancy, and weight gain will be faster. So, how much weight gain is normal during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the weight gain of pregnant women includes various aspects such as fetal weight, amniotic fluid weight, increased blood flow, breast enlargement, and weight gain. Among them, fetal weight gain and amniotic fluid weight gain are the two main types of weight gain. However, in general, the weight gain during pregnancy is around 30 pounds, which is also the medical standard recommended by doctors for weight gain during pregnancy.
As a weight gain standard during pregnancy, it is not lower or higher than this range that will lead to problems or difficulties in childbirth for the baby. If a pregnant woman's pre pregnancy weight is relatively light, she may need to gain about 35 pounds to protect her baby. If her pregnancy weight is relatively light, she may need to gain about 22 pounds during pregnancy. For those who are excessively obese, they need to lose even less to be beneficial for childbirth.
If during pregnancy, especially in the middle and late stages, pregnant women should control their diet reasonably to avoid rapid weight gain. If they are overweight, the development of the fetus will also be relatively fast, which may lead to difficulties in reproduction or premature birth, and may also cause pregnancy syndrome, leading to the risk of difficult childbirth.
