Weight gain is inevitable, but it should be done in moderation Not to mention that once you are pregnant, your family will give you a lot of supplements and exercise will gradually become less and less, so it is inevitable that you will gain weight. Although the weight gain after pregnancy is normal imagination, but the weight gain too fast can not be normal. And what kind of pregnancy weight gain is considered normal? As the months of pregnancy grow, the fetus develops, the body retains water, the total amount of blood increases, and the storage of protein and fat, pregnant women gradually gain weight. Generally, starting from the 5th month of pregnancy, the increase is about 0.5Kg per week, and the total increase is about 10Kg at full term. if the weight increase is too fast, pathological conditions should be considered. In early pregnancy, weight loss may occur due to early pregnancy reaction and loss of appetite. During pregnancy, women should pay attention to their weight changes, and if there is an excessive increase or the opposite, they should contact your doctor in time. 3. Being overweight and obese is bad for you and your child! Paying attention to weight nutrition during pregnancy can effectively prevent diseases from occurring in the mother and her offspring. For the fetus, during the critical period of its development, the mother’s nutrition and other factors can increase the probability of the fetus growing up with obesity, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and schizophrenia through the influence of epigenetics. For the mother, excess weight during pregnancy can lead to gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and many other difficult clinical problems, and obese women have a higher chance of obstructed labor due to the thickening of fat on the abdominal wall and perineum, which affects the force of labor and the birth canal; furthermore, prolonged hyperglycemia can lead to macrosomia, which can increase the difficulty of vaginal delivery. In addition, most of the literature indicates that low BMI during pregnancy and low weight gain during pregnancy in low BMI individuals are risk factors for preterm labor. Keeping your weight normal is the hard way! 4, rumor crusher: dieting is not good for pregnant women? In the perception of many people, the nutrition of pregnant women during pregnancy is very important, how can you diet? This is not to affect the development of the child in the stomach? However, through the study said there are many pregnant mothers despite the sea of food and drink, but the child’s nutrition is still insufficient. In an Australian study, 50 overweight or obese pregnant women aged 18-25 were found to have increased their dietary intake and weight within a short time of finding out they were pregnant, possibly due to psychological factors (possibly the thought of this being a stage where they could let go of their bellies and eat and drink), and to have favored fat-rich foods over fruits and vegetables. In the study, it was found that only 10 percent of all participants’ diets were structured to meet the standard for fruit and vegetable intake, and almost none for dietary iron intake. Such a diet for pregnant women would only increase their own fat, which is not enough for the fetus. Therefore, the diets practiced here for pregnant women are aimed at controlling caloric intake and balancing the diet. Studies have shown that even if a pregnant woman is overweight or obese before pregnancy, her pregnancy outcome can be improved by diet and exercise interventions during pregnancy. A recent study examined 11,444 pregnant women and documented the effects of diet and exercise interventions on pregnancy outcomes. Only 36% of the experimental group who participated in the intervention were overweight during pregnancy, compared to 45% of the control group who did not participate in the intervention. The dietary intervention consisted of a low-sugar diet, while the exercise intervention consisted of moderate-intensity exercise, including walking, aerobics, Pilates, and dance. Statistical data showed that women in the experimental group (who underwent the intervention) had a lower incidence of high blood pressure and a lower rate of cesarean sections and a lower probability of having heavier babies (defined as babies over 4kg) than the control group, which also means that the experimental group who underwent the intervention had a reduced risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes through the exercise and diet interventions. Moreover, dietary control is the best way to prevent pregnancy complications such as high blood pressure and diabetes. The results of this study have also been incorporated into the latest WHO evidence for the development of guidance on prenatal care, which is believed to soon provide systematic scientific guidance on weight management and dietary and exercise recommendations for pregnant women before and during pregnancy. 5.
