Weight gain during pregnancy
-
During pregnancy, every woman gains weight. But how much does a woman gain weight on average and what is a healthy weight? This depends on her own BMI: this determines how much weight a woman may gain during pregnancy.
How much gain during pregnancy?
-
Anyone who is pregnant will gain weight. This is quite normal: the baby gains weight, more amniotic fluid is produced and the woman produces more fatty tissue and retains more water. Those who do not gain weight during pregnancy have a problem.
Why is gaining weight so important?
-
It is important that a pregnant woman gains sufficient weight during pregnancy. A weight gain that is too low means that there is more chance of a child with a low birth weight. This chance can increase up to 300%. The chance of premature birth also increases: up to 30%. Smoking and the use of alcohol can also increase these chances. Women who, in addition to smoking and drinking, also gain too little weight during pregnancy, can get into serious problems.

Too much weight gain is not good
-
During pregnancy the woman will have to be careful not to gain too much weight. Of course, proper weight gain is important for the health of the baby, but excess weight also causes problems. Women who were already overweight can benefit more from a Caesarean section during delivery. Babies of overweight mothers also die more often during or after delivery.
Pay attention to power supply

Every pound goes through the mouth, a statement that takes the bull by the horns. Women who are underweight do well to gain more weight during pregnancy. Dairy products are healthy and ensure that you gain weight faster, especially the full variety. Candy and biscuits are of course tasty and make for a faster weight gain, but are not healthy for both mother and child.
