No weight gain during pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, women's weight gain is not very obvious, but after five months of pregnancy, their weight will increase significantly because the fetus in the body will grow rapidly. Since pregnant women eat more nutrients, their weight will also increase. Therefore, most women will become obese due to pregnancy. So why don't they gain weight during the entire pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, most pregnant women will experience early pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, or various picky eaters. Therefore, in the early stages of pregnancy, most pregnant women do not gain weight or lose weight. In the second trimester, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and picky eaters generally disappear. In addition, the fetus in the pregnant woman's abdomen enters the second trimester from the early stage of pregnancy, and its growth and development are very fast. The pregnant woman's appetite is greatly increased, and her stomach often feels hungry. In addition to eating one to three more meals a day (various supplements), she may also uncontrollably eat various snacks or fruits. It is easy to gain 5 to 20 kg in weight in the second trimester. Most pregnant women cannot gain weight at a uniform rate.

Some pregnant women gain 5 to 25 kg more weight by the second trimester than before they became pregnant, and from a distance they appear to have grown larger. When a woman looks at her body shape, she begins to worry or panic. At this time, a woman's nature of loving beauty is undoubtedly revealed. She cannot bear to let herself get fatter and even wants to lose weight during pregnancy. In fact, this idea is not advisable. When a woman is pregnant, both parties are absorbing nutrition. If she deliberately loses weight or does not gain enough weight, it can lead to adverse consequences such as fetal growth restriction, low body weight or premature birth.

It is said that the weight gained by pregnant women during pregnancy includes: weight of the placenta (about 1-2 pounds); amniotic fluid (about 2 pounds); uterus (about 2 pounds); increased breast weight (about 2 pounds); increased blood volume (about 3 pounds); increased fluid (about 3 pounds); increased fat (about 7 pounds); weight of the fetus (about 6-8 pounds). The actual weight gained on the pregnant woman is not that much. Don't be used to reading those chicken soup articles on the Internet about being too fat during pregnancy and how long it will take to lose weight after giving birth. The reason why those mothers who need to lose weight after giving birth are so fat is, in addition to the weight gain during pregnancy, she also gained a lot of weight during the confinement period after giving birth. The extra weight will not harm the baby if she wants to lose weight after giving birth. At that time, you can lose weight as much as you want.

The doctor said that it is appropriate to gain 10 to 15 kg during pregnancy. In fact, this is related to the height of the pregnant woman. For pregnant women over 158 cm tall, it is appropriate to gain 10 to 15 kg during pregnancy. For pregnant women under 158 cm tall, the weight should not exceed 25 catties. If you are overweight, it will be difficult to give birth or you will be prone to diabetes and gestational hypertension (referred to as gestational hypertension), which can easily cause back pain, or cause giant babies, increasing the difficulty of delivery. So sisters, if you are overweight during pregnancy, you can control your diet, such as eating small meals frequently, or taking a walk for more than an hour after meals. This can also achieve the goal of safe weight loss without harming the baby in your belly.
