Pregnancy weight

I’m currently 20 weeks and have since put on abt 7-8kg. :( Is this ok? I checked the pregnancy calculator and I’m ard 1kg over the limit. I’ve been gaining weight ever since I hit my 2nd trimester. An avg of 1.5-2kg a month. I’m just abit worried I’ll be overweight by my 3rd trimester. Anyone gained more than 15kg in total?

I gained 15 to 16kg. Doctor told me to eat in moderation and healthily:)

Private OBGYN vs Subsidized Care

Hi there I’m currently seeing a private OB for my antenatal checks. We have been paying over $300 and $200 for the last two visits. Aside from the high fees, waiting time seems to take over an hour too even an appointment was made. Our doc was okay, 2nd visit he seemed rushed and didn’t made much effort with us except explaining that I’d need to take the Harmony test at the next appointment. After discussing with my partner, we agreed to get a referral to KKH for subsidized care. We will pay a little bit more to get the same gynae for subsequent visits. Just wondering if anyone made the change and if KKH is good? Compared to a private doc. Thanks!

Personally seeing a pte gynae. I have not waited for an hour so long to see my gynae.. I heard many people who does not like kkh but i guess is up to individual. I had initially wanted to go for nuh gynae but after much interaction with my current gynae, i tink i m quite comfy n dont wanna change 😂

Gaining 1kg every week

Hi mummies. I’m 6 weeks, and since week 4, I’ve gained 1kg each week. I’m not sure if it’s a healthy weight gain but I know for your first trimester, weight gain avg between 2-4kg is fine. But I’m alrdy up 2kg in 2 weeks. I’m afraid by week 12, I’m alrdy up 12kg. Any advise on how to keep the weight gain slow? I don’t snack but now tend to have a bigger appetite. Used to skip breakfast pre-pregnancy and now having oats/cereals in the morning. I exercise everyday too at least 45mins. My boobies are fuller and heavier, serious tummy bloating too.

Hey no worries. Maybe you are like me - I gain weight really fast in the early pregnancy for both pregnancies. But after week 9, weight gain rate slowly decreased towards the end of pregnancy and total pregnancy weight gain was within normal range. Anyway, you may also wish to note that if you are underweight or healthy weight, you can expect a greater pregnancy weight gain.
