After pregnancy, pregnant mothers will eat more than before pregnancy in order to meet the needs of the growth and development of uterus, breast, placenta and fetus during pregnancy. Moreover, with the increase of gestational age, the baby grows up and the weight of the pregnant mother will gradually increase. Does that mean that the faster the weight gain, the better the baby's development? Although you need to supplement nutrition during pregnancy, you should be measured in everything. If the weight gain during pregnancy is too fast, it will not only make the baby's development face great risks, but also increase the risk of pregnant mothers suffering from gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
In addition, if expectant mothers gain too much weight, accumulate fat and have too thick pelvic floor tissue during pregnancy, it will also affect the smooth decline of fetal head during delivery, prolong the labor process of fetal delivery and increase the risk of dystocia.
How much weight gain is appropriate?
What is the most appropriate weight gain during pregnancy? Generally speaking, the importance of pregnancy follows the following principles: thin people gain more weight before pregnancy, and fat people gain less weight before pregnancy. According to whether the body shape before pregnancy is thin, normal and overweight, the corresponding weight gain during the whole pregnancy is about 14~ 15 kg, 12 kg and 7~8 kg respectively.
According to this theory, if a woman is thin before pregnancy (that is, she can't reach the weight corresponding to her height), then she should gain more weight after pregnancy than normal or overweight people. Experts believe that the ideal weight of thin women after pregnancy is to increase 1 1.5- 13.5 kg on the basis of the original weight. However, if you can't achieve this goal, don't worry-in fact, most thin women can't achieve this "ideal goal".
For women who are moderately obese before pregnancy, experts think it is more appropriate to gain 9- 1.5 kg. Women who are extremely obese before pregnancy should gain 7 kilograms. However, if you adopt a nutritious diet, you can still give birth to a healthy baby even if you gain less than 7 kilograms.
The "speed" of pregnant women's weight gain is as important as the "weight" gained. Weight gain should be 1-2 kg in the first three months of pregnancy, and 0.5 kg per week in the fourth to sixth months and seven to nine months thereafter. However, if you don't gain enough weight in the first three months, see if you have insomnia or anorexia-if everything else is normal, you don't have to worry about not gaining enough weight. You might as well eat more meals a day, especially healthy food, and replace boiled water with milk and juice. If you gain too much weight during pregnancy, it is probably because you eat too much, exercise too little or are pregnant with twins.
How to control weight during pregnancy?
Many expectant mothers will face the problem of gaining too much weight during pregnancy. How to control your weight during pregnancy? To control your weight during pregnancy, you must "keep your mouth shut and open your legs."
Keep your mouth shut: control your diet in the first trimester, the baby is still very young, and some pregnant mothers can't eat too much because of the reaction in the first trimester, so the weight gain of pregnant mothers at this stage will not be too much, generally increasing by about 0.5~ 1kg. However, the first trimester is a critical period for the development of embryonic central nervous system and cardiovascular system, so pregnant mothers must pay attention to supplementing folic acid and vitamins. If the early pregnancy reaction is serious in the first trimester, leading to malnutrition and affecting the baby's development, it is necessary to intervene in time. From the second trimester, the appetite of pregnant mothers began to improve. At this stage, it should be noted that the food we eat should be rich in protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and trace elements, but it should not be supplemented excessively to avoid overnutrition. Generally 4~5kg is suitable for weight gain in the second trimester. The third trimester is the fastest stage of fetal development, so we should pay attention to eating foods rich in protein and vitamins, and control the intake of fat and sugar. Five or six kilograms is suitable for weight gain in the third trimester. If pregnant mothers gain too much weight in a short time and gain more than one kilogram in a week, it will attract attention, indicating that they need to control their weight properly.
Separate your legs: Proper exercise In order to balance the absorption and consumption of nutrients on the basis of pregnancy, pregnant mothers should pay attention to proper exercise, such as walking after meals and cycling, which can not only avoid excessive weight gain, but also help to give birth naturally.
After a woman is pregnant, in order to provide her baby with enough nutrition, she must increase the nutrition appropriately. However, some people mistakenly believe that the more women eat and the heavier they weigh during pregnancy, the better. In fact, during pregnancy, women eat too much and the proportion of nutrients is improper, which can easily lead to overnutrition, thus making their weight beyond the normal range, that is, they are overweight during pregnancy. Overweight pregnant women can cause many diseases, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, pregnancy-induced diabetes and complications, and also increase the probability of giving birth to a huge baby, making natural delivery difficult, making caesarean section relatively increase, and ugly stretch marks are even more inevitable. How do pregnant women control their weight during pregnancy? Experts have given some suggestions, hoping to give you a reference.

Six reasons for weight control during pregnancy
1. It's easier to have children. Studies have shown that pregnant mothers gain more than 15 kg, the incidence of macrosomia is 7.46%, which is easy to cause dystocia, and the risk of cesarean section is three times that of normal. 2. Stay away from complications and gain weight, which not only brings the risk of back pain, pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetes and postpartum hemorrhage. Excessive weight gain during pregnancy will also reduce the mother's milk secretion, and breastfeeding is also difficult to achieve. 3. Say goodbye to postpartum obesity. Studies by Swedish scientists show that those who gain weight 16 kg or less during pregnancy can successfully return to their slim figure before pregnancy after delivery. Even if the postpartum is heavier than the original, the range can be controlled within 2 kg. 4, to be a healthy baby, the lack of weight gain of pregnant mothers will lead to stunting, stunting, and even premature birth. Excessive weight gain is likely to increase the incidence of macrosomia. Weight exceeding a certain range will also increase the asphyxia rate of newborn babies, and even the probability of miscarriage is four times higher than normal. 5, away from forceps and surgery, the skull is hard and the skull is not easy to deform. It is easy to cause birth injuries such as fractures at birth, so doctors have to use forceps or cesarean section to let the little guy come to the world. 6, don't be a little fat According to statistics, the probability of a giant baby suffering from obesity in the future is more than four times that of a normal-weight child. Adult diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases are also related to this.
