Beta, don't worry too much about weight, just focus on healthy food. My mother-in-law used to say, 'khaati peeti raho, baccha khud hi badh jayega.' Eat small, frequent meals with lots of fruits and veggies. And rest well, that's important for you and the baby.

Hey, so it's less about 'increasing weight' and more about 'healthy weight gain' during pregnancy. Focus on nutrient-dense foods, not just empty calories. Think lean protein, complex carbs, and good fats. Your gynae will guide you on the ideal range, just follow that.

Hmm, during pregnancy, proper nourishment is key. My dadi used to suggest having a glass of milk with a spoon of ghee every night. Also, try to include a lot of lentils and whole grains in your diet. But please, consult your doctor, always listen to them first.
