Standard weight during pregnancy

Controlling the weight within the standard range before pregnancy can not only have a graceful figure, but also prevent many diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, gout and so on. Of course, keeping the weight within the standard range during pregnancy also has its advantages, which can not only help the smooth progress of production, reduce the injury of production, prevent the occurrence of stretch marks, but also avoid postpartum obesity and other problems.

So, what is the most appropriate weight gain during pregnancy? The range of weight gain during pregnancy is 1 1.5 ~ 16kg. In other words, as far as the whole pregnancy process is concerned, it can be increased by 0. 1kg per week before 14 weeks, and it can be steadily increased by 0.45kg per week from 15 weeks to delivery, and cannot exceed 0.5kg per week.

Weight of pregnant women

The most standard algorithm is to measure your pre-pregnancy body mass index (that is, body mass index, body mass index = weight (kg)/ height (m) 2 based on the original weight (that is, pre-pregnancy weight).

* Body mass index (BMI) is less than 19.8, belonging to low-weight pregnant women, and can gain weight 12.5 ~ 18kg.

* If the body mass index is between 19.8 ~ 26, the pregnant woman belongs to normal weight, and can increase 1 1.5 ~ 16kg.

* If the body mass index is greater than 26, it belongs to high-weight pregnant women, then the increase range is smaller, and 7 ~ 1 1 kg is appropriate.

The "standard diet" during pregnancy.

How to get proper nutrition during pregnancy? Experts suggest that a balanced diet is the first principle. Relevant information shows that the dietary standards during pregnancy are as follows:

Calories: No extra calories are needed in the first trimester, and the daily calorie intake in the second and third trimesters needs to be increased by 1.26 kJ.

Protein: The intake of protein should be increased by 2g, 6g and 12g in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy respectively.

Nutrients: mainly increase the intake of minerals (such as calcium), vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin A) and fiber. From late pregnancy to delivery, 30 ~ 50 mg of iron should be added every day to make up for the loss of blood loss during pregnancy and delivery.

High weight: beware of gestational diabetes.

Many expectant mothers will worry that the fetus will not absorb enough nutrition, coupled with the wrong concept of "one person eats, two people make up", which makes it easy to consume too much nutrition during pregnancy. It is true that more and more pregnant mothers tend to be overweight, and their weight exceeds the standard of pregnancy, which has a bad influence on both mother and baby.

Low weight: Beware of premature delivery.

Many women who love beauty will control their weight within the standard range. But you know what? Long-term underweight will lead to irregular menstruation, poor energy, lethargy, difficulty in defecation, emotional instability, malnutrition, and even lead to decreased immune function, infertility, anorexia and other problems.
