7 months pregnant and no weight gain

After pregnancy, the baby in the belly is gradually growing. Pregnant women have a better appetite during pregnancy, so they often eat a lot. It is normal for the body weight to increase naturally after eating more. However, some people’s body weight has not changed much until the seventh month of pregnancy. This will make people very worried, and they are afraid that it is a bad sign. Why is there no weight gain in the seventh month of pregnancy?

Why is it that pregnant women don't gain weight?

After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, the baby in her belly will gradually grow. Pregnant women will gain weight due to their better appetite during pregnancy. Therefore, weight gain is inevitable.

Reason 1: morning sickness

Pregnant mothers will experience a series of physiological reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, such as morning sickness, loss of appetite, dizziness, and morning sickness, which will significantly reduce their food intake and make them unable to eat, and their weight will naturally drop. However, this is a normal pregnancy reaction and pregnant mothers are advised not to worry too much.

Countermeasures: In order to relieve the discomfort caused by morning sickness, it is recommended that pregnant mothers should not eat too greasy food in the early stages of pregnancy and eat more light food. Foods such as baked steamed buns, toast, soda crackers, etc. can help relieve morning sickness symptoms, so pregnant mothers who suffer from severe morning sickness can buy some to eat. In addition, attention should be paid to folic acid supplementation and the diet should be nutritionally balanced. Foods such as eggs, green leafy vegetables, legumes, animal liver, nuts, fruits, etc. should be consumed in moderation.

Some pregnant mothers have severe morning sickness so they don't force themselves to eat regularly like normal people, nor do they have to force themselves to eat for the baby. If they vomit, there will be no nutrition to absorb. The amount, type, and frequency of food can be adjusted according to the pregnant mother's own appetite. Eat small meals frequently to ensure the overall food intake.

Reason 2: Loss of appetite

Due to various pregnancy reactions, pregnant mothers may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, dizziness and fatigue. These are normal phenomena. Just pay attention to rest.

Countermeasure: Pregnant mothers with poor appetite can do some outdoor exercise, which can promote gastrointestinal digestion and absorption and increase appetite. Then increase your food intake by following the principles of a light, delicious, nutritious and easily digestible diet. In terms of taste, pregnant mothers do not have to be too taboo about what they cannot eat. The food should be in line with their eating habits and hobbies, but they are not allowed to drink alcohol.
