How much weight gain 24 weeks pregnant?

My wife was 24 weeks pregnant a few months back. I think she had gained around 8 kgs by then. Her doctor said it was perfectly fine for her. Don't worry too much, just keep going for your regular check-ups and follow what the doc says.

By 24 weeks, generally a 7-10 kg gain is expected. However, for me, managing high BP meant I had to be very strict with my diet and watch my weight gain even more closely. My doctor stressed controlling salt and sugar intake. Regular monitoring of BP and weight with your doctor is essential, especially with existing conditions.

For my wife's pregnancy, her doctor at a leading hospital told us that by 24 weeks, a gain of 7-10 kg is typical for a normal BMI. They also gave us a chart. It's really best to ask your own doctor clearly about your specific target and track. Don't rely on general numbers alone.

I was super anxious at 24 weeks because I felt like I was gaining too much! I had put on about 9 kg. But my doctor totally reassured me it was well within the normal range for my pre-pregnancy weight. So, if you're in the 7-10 kg range, it's likely perfectly fine, but do confirm with your gynaecologist.
