Pregnancy weight gain

Do people usually calculate the pregnancy weight gain from pre pregnancy weight or from the lowest weight during pregnancy (eg weight lost from 1st trimester)? #pregnancy #weightgain

Baby’s weight gain

Hello mamas, My baby is 5 months old and his weight is only 5.5kg. He’s always been 3rd percentile or below since birth. He was initially breastfed , but due to lack of supply now mostly on formula. Initially I gave Lactogen and then started giving FairPrice Gold ( as it claims more probiotics)formula two months back. I’m bit worried if his weight will never improve. Doctors at KKH and polyclinic doesn’t give any recommendations for formula. They always check and say it’s Low. Last time, PD suggested I can try weaning at 5 months. So I only started giving rice cereal (1tbsp) per day for around 4 days now. If anyone in my situation, could pls share any tips for baby’s weight gain either formula or from weaning. #firsttimemom #infantformula #babyweight #weaning

my baby is drinking Abbott Similac Infant Milk Formula - Stage 1 since birth. he is 6months old weighing 7.885kg. he is in 50th percentile during his 4th month checkup.

How much weight gain during pregnancy is considered normal/healthy?

Hey mummies, how much weight gain throughout pregnancy is considered normal or healthy? I’m only just 6 weeks pregnant but have gained quite a bit of weight that I’m starting to feel insecure about my body already and fear for the next 34 weeks to come.. I used to engage in intermittent fasting (16-8) and workout quite a bit (HIIT and strength training mainly), but was told to refrain from any of these during pregnancy. So now I try to briskwalk on treadmill and do light stretches instead, and snack on fruits, yogurt, and granola oats in between meals.. but my weight has gained from 49kg > 53kg… I don’t think it’s normal to be gaining 4kg at just 6 weeks. Any advice?? #insecure #weightgain

Had similar issues like yours. Was doing intermittent fasting for years. The change in how I had to eat when pregnant was quite an adjustment. I gained even more weight as my gynae instructed me not to exercise due to some medical issues in my first trimester. Now in my 2nd trimester and my weight doesn't fluctuate as much (or rather, too drastically too fast) with moderate activity approved and done consistently, and eating sensibly and healthily. It helped to know that most of the weight comes from fluids and maternal tissues (I take a screenshot of the weight breakdown to remind myself it's okay). Prior to my pregnancy, I didn't know how much weight gain to expect, so it's quite shocking... but now I'm starting to accept it as it is. I also find ways to dress fashionably, show off the bump haha and it helped. Above all, knowing baby is healthy and I'm medically well. Anyway, my gynae is not too concerned, too. Some days, I feel more insecure, and I'll put in a little more self-care, each day bringing me closer to baby's EDD!
