Confront Your Weight Gain Excuses
I recall visiting one of my older friends and she sweetly asked me to watch my weight gain. But I was quick to tell her that I was about 2 months pregnant, so that was why I had a fuller figure. (duh!!!) She gave me a sympathetic smile and still insisted I should be careful. Of course, my dismissal of her advice led me to gain a whopping 40kg by week 41.

By pregnancy number 2, I had gained a whole lot of common sense and knowledge. Common sense because I really didn’t want to go through all that weight-loss work again. And knowledge because I had gone ahead to get an American certification on Prenatal Fitness and Nutrition.

On the average, a woman is expected to gain a total of 10kg to 15 kg weight all through her pregnancy. And half of it should occur in the third trimester. The first trimester should see you gain a minimum of 1 to 2 pounds ideally, which is less than 1kg. And that is expected, after all, your baby is literally the size of a ‘tadpole’ so it need not show externally yet. Read full Article <<[url] https://theladysroom.ng/gain-weight-while-pregnant/[/url]
