I'm expecting my first child and want to make sure I'm doing everything right. My mother keeps telling me not to gain too much. What's the recommended amount of weight gain throughout pregnancy?

Oh, pregnancy weight gain! It felt like I gained half my body weight, haha! But actually, my doctor said about 11-16 kgs is usually considered healthy if you started at a normal BMI. Every pregnancy is different, so just keep listening to your doc, not your neighbour's 'advice'.

The recommended weight gain varies by your pre-pregnancy BMI. For an average BMI, it's usually 11-16 kg. It's essential to discuss this with your doctor to get a personalized target and ensure healthy growth for both you and the baby.

Dekho, har kisi ka shareer alag hota hai. Roughly 10 se 15 kilo toh ho hi jaata hai. Zyada tension mat lo, bas doctor ki baat suno. Healthy khaana khao, aur araam karo.

I was just reading about this for a project. They say it depends on your starting weight, like if you're underweight you might gain more, and overweight less. Average is about 11-16 kg total. Pretty interesting how the body changes so much!

I really regret not paying closer attention to my weight gain and other symptoms during my first pregnancy. Please, if you're concerned about how much you're gaining, don't just rely on internet advice. Talk to your gynaecologist immediately. It's so important for early detection of any issues.

Ho na, pregnancy mein weight toh badhta hi hai, it's natural. Doc ne mujhe bataya tha ki 12-15 kg tak theek hai, but depends on your starting weight. Bas healthy khao aur zyada mat socho, sab theek hoga.

Beti, pregnancy mein wazan toh badhta hi hai. Pehle ke zamane mein log itna nahi sochte the, bas achha khate the. 10-15 kilo toh aam baat hai. Bas ghar ka saaf-suthra khana khao, aur doctor ki salaah maano. Haldi doodh bhi achha hota hai.

When my wife was pregnant, her doctor gave her a target range based on her BMI. For her, it was about 12-15 kg. It's not just fat, but baby, placenta, fluids. Keep regular appointments; they will guide you best. Don't compare with others, every body is different.

Listen to your body and your doctor, dear. Generally, a healthy weight gain is around 10-15 kgs, but it is not a fixed number. Focus on mindful eating and gentle movements like walking or prenatal yoga if your doctor permits. It helps immensely.
