Concerns about Weight Gain I'm not putting on any weight. Is it a cause for concern Luckily your baby's needs at this
time are not so great as they become after the 1st trimester. In fact,
morning sickness can even cause you to loose a little weight. From this
month on it is necessary to make sure you are eating well, because your
baby's growth is about to pick up at a fast pace. Ideally, you should put
on about one pound a week from the 10 week onwards until the 8th month.
But please do not eat empty calories. You need healthy foods to fulfill
your baby's nutritional requirements.
I've put on over 10 pounds in the 1st trimester. What should I do Unfortunately this weight will be
difficult to lose even after delivery, because it is on you and not on
your baby. But the foetus still needs its nutritional requirements to be
fulfilled. So do not cut down or try to lose weight now. You must eat regular,
healthy meals from now on, because the weight you have already gained will
not help your baby's growth at all.
How much weight should I have gained by the end of this month Ideally you should have gained not more than 2-3 pounds this month. (You should not gain any weight in the first two months). However, if you have already gained a lot more weight, DO NOT go on a diet to shed this weight. This is the time you should be focusing on providing the most nutritious diet to your baby.
