Hi Archie and Friends,

From tomorrow, I'll enter my 8th month of pregnancy, 32nd week. Today I had visited my Dr. and found that my weight is 67.2 kgs. Before pregnancy it used to be between 62 to 63 kags. My height is 5' 4\";. Therefore approximately only 5 kgs has increased till now. I also talked to my Dr about this. She said that from Ultra sound my baby's growth appears to be normal. She also asked about my diet which she found perfectly fine. Though she advised me to have mango or banana shake instead of plain milk every day. And to have murabba and soaked almonds etc for weight gain. She also told me that there should not be anything to worry as it seems that the baby is gaining weight normally and it is only me who is not gaining weight.
Does anyone of you have also experinced the same? Archie, could you pls also adivce if this much weight gain is fine in my case or not? Or do I need to do something?

Thanks,
NG
archie replied. Dear PD,
I am not concerned after reading you whole message.
it's not that 100% people should put on 12 to 15 kgs while pregnant. It's genetic constitution that defines how much one should gain weight while pregnant. I know many who only gained 10 pounds and delivered over 6 pounds baby. I would not worry so much as long as
ultrasound shows:
appropriate growht,
baby putting on weight normally
placenta is functional and well until 40 weeks
and
that the amniotic fluid is plenty for baby
