<human>: Hi doctor, My anomaly scan is done last week and my weighs about 486+_ 71 gms.. And everything is normal. But right from starting my weight increased by 10kg (from 56 to 66 kg now). Is this increase in weight will give any risk during normal delivery ?This is my first baby.
<bot>: Hello dear, I understand your concern. Usually the required weight gain in pregnancy depends on the pre-pregnancy weight. If the pre-pregnancy weight is :-1)Normal weight:-about 11-16 kg of weight gain is desirable.2)If overweight or obesity-not more than 7 kg.3)If underweight-upto 18 kg weight is desirable. So if the weight gain is more than the desired one any high BP and any diabetes in mother should be ruled out. So I suggest you to consult doctor and get BP and blood sugars done to rule out hypertension and diabetes. If they are normal nothing to worry. And depending on your pre-pregnancy weight check your weight gain. If the weight gain seems more avoid high carboy Chat Doctor. Avoid stress. Nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards.....
