I am 29 weeks and baby weighs 1.3kg, but my gynae did not mention about my baby being heavy. I gained about 10kg so far. Anyone has any clue?
Ladies
From wat I learnt during the antenatal class, weight gain during pregnancy depends on the mummy's pre-pregnancy weight status ie BMI. Will sum up BMI vs Ideal Weight Gain (IWG) & Avg Total Weight Gain (ATWG) as follow
- Underweight (BMI < 18) = IWG 15.1kg / ATWG 12.5 to 18 kg
- Notmal Weight = IWG 12.7kg / ATWG 11.5 to 16kg
- Overweight (BMI > 23) = IWG 10.2kg / ATWG 8 to 11.5 kg
- Obese (BMI > 28) = IWG 7.6kg / ATWG 9kg
Hope the above assures all mummies re their respective weight gain thus far![]()
I think I'm in trouble. My bmi was 23.5, I gained 9 kg already
