Dear ammas,
This is my first pregnancy and i'm very much worried abt my weight. My due date is May '11 2004. I am in my 6th month now. B4 pregnancy i was 50kgs. Now i am 51 kgs. i am 5.2\"; tall.
But my doctor is not worrying abt my weight.

Pls tell me is it a underweight?
I'm very much worried on this.
Pls respond Desi Cowgirl replied. Hi

Generally its considered healthy to put on weight during pregnancy. since you are adding bulk like - placenta, uterus, amniotic fluid plus the feotus - everyone gains some weight. Some women loose weight initially due to nausea and lack of appetite in th efirst trimester. If that was your case then you probably lost some weight and have now gained it all back. Have you had an ultrasound? If the doctor thinks its fine - it should be - but also give special attention to your diet and eat healthy things - drink lots of milk and fruit juices (fresh) - At 23 weeks you baby is supposed to weigh only one pound - or 1/2 a kg so there may not be a reason to panic.

All the best
