The ideal weight for a pregnant woman
What is the appropriate weight that I should reach during the months of pregnancy? A question that comes to the mind of many pregnant women, especially if it was her first pregnancy.
Dr. Jasser Al-Bishri, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, confirms that pregnancy is not the time when a woman should worry about her body after childbirth, and the appropriate
increase in pregnancy that is currently recommended for pregnant women ranges between 3, 11 and 13,5 kg, but the amount Actual recommended may be less or more depending on weight and height.
He added that the appropriate increase in weight increases the chances of giving birth to a healthier baby, but you have to achieve the increase gradually, and your body and your growing fetus alike
need a constant level of food and calories during pregnancy. For example, when the growth of organs is almost complete by the end of the sixth month of pregnancy, brain development begins, which needs special nutrition determined by the doctor.
But on the other hand, care must be taken from the beginning of pregnancy, to avoid obesity, reduce blood sugar, exercise or at least
walk for half an hour a day, and also stay away from smoking, stress and anxiety, and conduct medical tests constantly to know the level of sugar in the blood, especially Excessive weight gain causes diabetes in many pregnant women.
