You can refer to the following table for the reasonable range of weight gain in different periods:

Therefore, it is very important to control your weight scientifically during pregnancy. Let's take a look at some tips for scientifically controlling your weight during pregnancy

1. Recording your weight every day

Too fast weight gain is something that many pregnant women are worried about and that obstetricians and gynecologists don't want to see. Weigh your weight every day and make a graph. When you pay attention to your weight every day, you know how much weight you will gain with every bite, which will give us great vigilance. And make a graph as a warning.

2. Deception day once a week

Like the usual fat reduction period, pregnant women are most afraid of gaining too much weight, so they should try to control their food intake every day. In order to reward yourself for your hard work, you can set a cheating day every week, so that you can rest assured that you will eat on that day, and you will no longer calculate your appetite by one catty to satisfy your desire to eat. On this day, I indulged myself in eating all kinds of junk food. With so much publicity on crazy Thursday, how can I refuse fried chicken, egg tarts and all kinds of milk tea? It should be reminded that milk tea has more caffeine, and it is better to have fruit tea or milkshake to relieve my craving.

3. if you eat too much, you should control yourself the next day

this is one of the important rules, such as sometimes you can't stop the car, eat too much, overeat and go on a diet the next day.

sometimes, people can't resist the temptation of delicious food, and they are greedy by accident. After the food was eaten, I began to regret it. It is suggested that the amount of food consumed the next day should be reduced, and the diet of pregnant women should also take into account a balanced nutrition. It is not as hard on themselves as before pregnancy, but it is better to eat lightly and not be so full.

4. Learn the calories of various foods

Learn about nutrition from books and magazines to understand the calories of food, so as to control the calorie intake. Now there are many softwares that can also record calories. You can calculate the corresponding calories as long as you record the food. With these softwares, you can also record what you eat every day and check your calorie intake every day. It is a good helper to control your weight during pregnancy. I use mint health, which is very convenient.

5. Don't wear loose clothes

Because the belly gets bigger after pregnancy, and the maternity clothes are mostly long skirts or trousers, the styles are also loose and comfortable. Although they can cover the curves of the body, many pregnant mothers will choose loose and comfortable styles, but relatively speaking, they will also make expectant mothers neglect their deformed posture. Therefore, changing to clothes that fit you better will make you pay attention to your body changes and find out your weight gain in time. At the beginning, I also liked loose T-shirts and shorts. I gained weight faster in the early stage, and I gained a lot of weight when I was not careful. After putting on clothes that fit me better, I gained a little more weight, and I could feel that my clothes were tight.

6. Imagine the pain after gaining weight

First of all, it is the hard work of losing weight after childbirth. For women, losing weight is a chore that they love and hate. From the beginning of pregnancy, always warn yourself not to fall into the trap of gaining too much weight. In fact, in addition to the hard work of slimming, there is also a general rapid weight gain, indicating that eating too much can easily lead to gestational diabetes and increase the risk of pregnancy. In addition, during pregnancy, I just saw whether Ming Lan's mother had a difficult delivery because her baby was too big. Now, medicine is developed, and there are many ways to have a baby if it is too big. But seeing the plot is so painful, I still have great vigilance.

It is not easy for pregnant mothers to control their weight. I hope the above methods can help everyone.
