Hi ladies, will we gain lots of weight during the 3rd tri? I've put on about 15kg already :( How do we control the weight gain, if that's even possible??

Hi Melissa, try to go easy with the food esp sweet stuff since it may lead to gestational diabetes esp if there's family history of it. Weight gain is pretty normal, some even put up to 20kg, but it's the post-pregnancy part that requires a fair bit of working out. If you're planning to exercise during pregnancy, you may wish to talk to yr gynae first just to make sure. My gynae has told me not to over-exert myself (although im mainly sedentary already LOL) because i had spotting, pulls and cramps. Just be safe and take care!

don't we all have that trouble! The average weight gain during pregnancy should be around 13 kgs. I am sure your doc is monitoring you and will tell you if there is abnormal weight gain. One way of making sure that you keep the weight gain under control is not to give in to all the cravings...

Thanks, Gabriella.. im trying hard to resist chocolates for now haha... and hoping to go back to some running. Guess i'll have to get clearance from my gynae about that.

Yes. I heard will gain 0.5-1kg per week. (I don’t know if that ‘s even possible, but I remember seeing it somewhere) I am trying to control too. 😞

I’m controlling weight by replace white rice with brown rice and reduce sweets

thanks
