Pregnant women weight gain standard table

At each stage of pregnancy, the growth status of the fetus is different, which determines the different weight gain coefficients of pregnant women. Under normal circumstances, the weight of pregnant women will increase as the pregnancy progresses. This is mainly because the fetus has fully developed in all aspects of its body in the late stages of pregnancy, so its body size will be larger than in the early stages of pregnancy. So generally speaking, what is the standard growth chart for pregnant women's weight at each stage of pregnancy?

Weight gain standards for pregnant women: standard weight for pregnant women and its composition

Experts recommend that pregnant women should not gain more than 12 kg during pregnancy

(This is based on the standard weight, standard weight = height - 105, and it can fluctuate up or down by 10% on this basis to be considered normal weight).

If the pregnant woman's weight is more than 10% below the standard weight, it is normal to gain 14-15 kg during pregnancy. If the pregnant woman's weight is more than 20% above the standard weight, it is normal to gain 7-8 kg. Of the 12 kilograms gained, the weight of the fetus accounts for about 3 kilograms, and the placenta and amniotic fluid account for about 2 kilograms.

Standard weight gain during pregnancy

Therefore, the most ideal weight gain is to gain 2 kg in the early stage of pregnancy (within 3 months of pregnancy), 5 kg each in the middle stage (3-6 months of pregnancy) and the late stage (7-9 months of pregnancy), for a total of 12 kg.

If you gain more than 20 kilograms during the entire pregnancy or the pregnant woman's weight exceeds 80 kilograms, it is a dangerous signal.
