Due Date Club April 2007:weight gain?????????

2006-12-05

Name: saradha hi all & spl hi to VK,

i was happy that i have a company ( its you - VK). when i read ur reply to neena - i came to know that u were also of my same weight. i was 44 kgs even before i conceived. now after complation of 3.5 months i had just put on 1 kg of weight. Then after completion of 4 months i was 46.2 kgs. Moreover my BP was also 90/70. actually my height is 5'2''.

My Gynao has prescribed \";Pro-PL\"; which helps for the brain and heart development of the day. So i had the same. I also started having Complan. I checked my weight after 10 days and found to be 47 kgs.

This weekend i am going for monthly check up as i am completing 22 weeks (5 months) by tomorrow. I am more tensed about my weight gain and Blood Pressure.

archie or anyone else in the group - can u pls tell me is it a worrying factor if BP is low and weight gaining is not upto the mark?

actually right from my 15-16 years, till date my weight revolves around 44-46 kgs. i basically have a very very leen structure also. No one can say that i have completed 28 years. So i am bit bothered on the same as i want a normal delivery and not a C-Section.

Pls suggest some remedy - friends.

cheers

Hi Saradha

Hi...sorry for the late reply...

we both seem to have such similar issues that i almost felt u had written about me...:) ...i have also been in the same weight range since my late teens and i am 5'1\" ...my doctor said in the whole of these nine months i need to gain a total of 11 kgs...have have almost reached the half weight gain stage now...so i m not much worried...acutally in my third month of pregnancy..i had lung infection and also had nausea and had lost 2 kgs...which i gained back once the nausea was gone...and u also seem to have gained enough weight now...

regarding the BP...i too have been in the same BP range...and according to my doctor she said i need now worry as the blood pressure tends to get higher as the days go by...and that the systolics in the early 80s is something to worry about and that 90 systolic is ok and i dont need to worry about it...i had a sonogram in my 20th week and the baby's weight was fine too...now i m in my 23rd week...

so i think we both dont need to worry about it at all as the weight and BP is going to gradually increase and not decrease...hows ur appetite now...do u have nausea issues?

nice to know i have someone like me to share experiences with...where are u from?...i live in Ahmedabad...

Pls. do be in touch...

Bye and take care...

hi dear vk

hi da

i am from chennai. good to know that u r also from india. i had my scan done this satyrday evening ND Hve posted my scan results in the forum. just check out my recent msgs.

dear - i also felt u were more same to me when i read ur postings. by the way, yesterday i went to my gynao for regular monthly check up and to show the scan report.

she said babys growth is good and said placenta is posterior and grade 0 lowlying. hence i have to take care by not starining much - otherwise there may be a need for C-Section it seems. i said ok.

moreover most happy news for me i was 50 kgs and BP was 110/70. as offlate i started complan - mango (to increase my weight) and also started having date syrups, badam and cashews. so i think u can also try these as it wont have any other side effects da. i am also in my 23rd week.

my due date is around april 12-13. wat abt urs? when is ur due date?

so how r u feeling now? are u working? i am working as a senior consultant in an big 4 audit firm in finance sector. i could feel its movements more now. i enjoy it. what about you. is this ur first kid. for me this is my first.

lets pray that all of us should have healthy baby very soon.

bye and take good care da.

with loads of luv

check if baby is growing fine, that means a sonogram.
If this comes OK then don't worry on weight gain at all.
Otherwise you will have to boost with supplements and vitamin C.
YOu will have to go for protein and fat rich diet and if required in supplemental forms as well.

One can't speak of delivery mode today though it's natural to expect vaginal over C-section.

thanx

hi archie,

first of all congrats for ur second baby. when i went thru other msgs in the board, i came to know that u had recently delivered ur second baby.

coming to my case - i shall check for my babys growth. actually even on the date of confirmation of my pregnancy - my BP was 100/70.

Actually when i checked last time it reduced to 90/70 as i was also running temperature and hence could not have proper intake.

However i shall check for babys growth and shall get u the feedback by next week beginning. I have also started taking oranges with apples now. I shall start taking protein and fat rich diets in case of any complications. But i am praying i should not have all those.

Thanx a ton for ur immediate reply archie.

cheers
