Weight Gain In Pregnancy

The mother's weight gain is closely related to the weight of the baby at birth. This low index leads to the risk of having a baby weighing less than 2,500g (preterm birth or fetal malnutrition). Weight gain depends on diet, labor, rest of the mother and the nutritional status of the mother before pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the mother needs to gain 10 - 12kg. In particular, the first 3 months increased by 1kg, between 3 months increased by 4 - 5kg and the last 3 months increased by 5 - 6kg

. If the increase of less than 3 kg between 3 months and the last 3 months increased less than 4 kg, the mother needs to eat and foster strengthening.
Excessive weight gain is also not good. If in the last 3 months, every month the increase is over 2 kg or every week, the increase is over 1 kg, it is usually a sign of pathology such as edema, hypertension Mothers should see a specialist at Hopital General Hospital for timely intervention.




The energy requirement of a pregnant woman's diet is 2,550 kcal, which is more than 350 kcal when not pregnant.
Depending on the circumstances of each family, the mother can eat more rice (just eat 2 more bowls a day is enough to put into the body an additional 300 kcal) or add potatoes, corn, eggs, beans, sesame, peanuts, fruits ... If possible, eat more meat, fish, milk .. .
