4 months? That's when my wife finally stopped throwing up everything and started gaining some actual weight, thank god! I think it was maybe a couple of kilos by then, but every pregnancy is different. Just enjoy not feeling sick hopefully!
By 4 months (around 16 weeks), a gradual, steady weight gain typically begins after the initial phase. It's usually a few kgs, not a drastic jump. My doctor emphasized balanced meals and staying active with short walks, which I tried to fit into my busy schedule. Focus on consistent healthy habits.
Oh, I totally worried about every gram when I was 4 months pregnant! Is it too much? Too little? It's really hard not to overthink. Generally, a small, steady gain is expected, but please, please talk to your doctor. They will tell you what's right for YOUR body and put your mind at ease.
I can only share my own experience – by 4 months, I had probably gained about 3 kgs. It was a relief because in the first few months I had lost a little. But everyone's body is unique, so what was normal for me might be different for you. Doctor's advice is always key.
It's important to monitor your weight gain, but don't obsess over it. I remember once I just assumed everything was fine and didn't mention a rapid weight change to the doctor, and it led to some complications later. Always, always discuss your weight progress with your gynecologist during your check-ups.

Hey! Around 4 months, you might start feeling a little better from morning sickness, and that's when the weight gain becomes more noticeable. It's usually a steady pace, maybe 2-4 kgs by then depending on your starting weight. Just keep eating healthy and enjoying this phase!
By 4 months, weight should start increasing slowly. Don't go for fancy diets or supplements. Just simple ghar ka khaana, lots of fruits and veggies. And a short walk in the evening, if you feel up to it. These small things make a big difference without costing much.
