Is weight in late pregnancy related to physical health?

What makes mothers happiest is having a baby in their belly, but what worries mothers the most is also having a baby in their belly, because their weight and body shape will undergo huge changes. So what mothers are worried about is that their weight in the late pregnancy is related to their physical health? This has always been what mothers are most concerned about, so let me explain it to you below.

1. Standard weight of pregnant women and its composition

Experts recommend that pregnant women should not gain more than 12 kilograms during pregnancy (this is based on 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% lower than the standard weight, it is normal to gain 14-15 kilograms during pregnancy. If the pregnant woman's weight exceeds the standard weight by 20%, it is normal to gain 7-8 kilograms. 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.

2. Why does weight gain vary during different stages of pregnancy?

In terms of the pregnancy process, the fetus grows and develops relatively slowly in the early stages of pregnancy, and the pregnant woman's body is still in the process of physiological adjustment. At this time, the calorie demand in the diet is basically the same as before pregnancy, and there is no need to rush to increase nutrition. After the second trimester, the pregnant woman's early pregnancy reactions stop, her appetite increases greatly, the fetus grows and develops faster, the mother's blood volume increases, the uterus and breasts grow, and fat is stored, resulting in faster weight gain. The late pregnancy is mainly about the fetus and placenta, as well as an increase in amniotic fluid.

3. Standard weight gain during each period of 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.

The above is my answer to the question: Is weight in late pregnancy related to physical health? I believe everyone has already understood the answer through my answer. So as for what mothers should do in the future, it still depends on themselves. For the health of their babies, mothers have to continue to work hard.
