Ideal weight for pregnancy

Hi guys :)

Eventhough i am still young, single mingle and of coz never experience any pregnancy (but i wish in some day :)), now i want to share u about ideal weight of pregnancy (..hewhew).

If u are getting pregnant and notice some weight gain, relax! Don't panic and be cool about that because it is totally normal and good for you and your baby :D

Good huhh having bumps here and there? Yes it is good. Why did i said that?

First, ur baby's growth and development is solely depent on the weight u put on. Second, u can lower ur risk of having hemorrhoid(buasir), stretch mark, varicose vein(urat timbul), backache, fatigue, indigestion, and shortness of breath during pregnancy, of coz if u gain weight steadily within recommended bounderies.

What is the ideal weight gain during pregnancy?

It is depend on ur body type. If u have nausea and vomitting, u gain weight less because of less appetite and less eat. But don't worry, nausea and vomitting usually stop when u enter 2nd trimester. Thats why majority of weight gain occur during 2nd n 3rd trimester. Normal whole weight gain should be between 10-12 kg averagely(depend on ur BMI).

Too little weight gain, ur baby will not get enough nourishment for his/her growth. Too much will cause gestational diabetes, pre-eclamsia (hypertension induced by pregnancy), or having a difficult delivaries.

For someone who is underweight, you should gain at least 12.5-18 kg. For someone in normal BMI, 11.5-16 kg should be enough. And for some who is overweight, 7-11.5 kg is good. Obese person should gain recommended weight of 6.8 kg.

I hope these little information can help u a little bit about what u doubt about. For more explanation, please view this website:
