woman waiting for a child, especially the first, early starts to worry about weight gain.The number of kilos, which admissible added during pregnancy varies depending on the physique of the expectant mother and the number of fetuses in the uterus.The woman turns out to be more complete in early pregnancy, the fewer kilograms she "allowed" to call.This means that for large women rate of weight gain during pregnancy will be 3-5 kg, and it is actually only the weight of the growing fetus and the uterus.They are more than the subtle "colleagues" may be safely added and 10, and 15 kg.
determine which weight gain during pregnancy is optimal for you, simply.There are special tables and ratios.Here is an example of an approximate calculation.
first calculate the BMI - body mass index, that is, the body mass index.For this purpose the weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.Women whose index at the beginning of pregnancy or until it less than 19, are deficient in weight.By the 30th week, normally they have to add about 10 kg, and just before the birth increase will amount to 15 kg and more.
BMI ranging from 20 to 26 - is the ratio of average weight and height.9 kg at the end of the 30th week and the total gain of 13.5 kg for this category is considered to be optimal.
Owners BMI above 26 are automatically placed into the category of obese women, and a lot of effort so mums have to spend - no, not on weight loss.For a time, it is inappropriate diets.However, to keep your weight within, not go on about the hormones and increase the appetite quite capable of every one of us.Weight gain during pregnancy for overweight moms - 5 kilograms by the end of the 7th month, and about 9 kg to most genera.
What are the components of the sum weight gain during pregnancy? Consider them all.
- fetal weight - full-term fetus to 38-42 weeks weighs from 2500 to 5000g.The weight of the fetus before birth rather precisely defines UZDG doctor during a routine ultrasound.He does it, commensurate length from the coccyx to the crown, the length of the limbs and head circumference with some other measurements.
- amniotic fluid - 800 ml, 1.5 liter.
- placenta - 650
- breast enlargement - 0.5-1 kg.
- Increased blood volume - about 2 liters.
- body of the uterus - up to 1 kg.
All other programs and kilograms - a fat, without which the expectant mother and the child could well do without.
If weight gain during pregnancy is too large or the dynamics of the change in mass of women is too sharp, it is important to find the cause and time to correct these phenomena.
- puffiness.It is a common problem during pregnancy are swelling and fluid retention in the body.This is a particular problem of women in the state, and it is associated with an increase in blood volume, increased load on the kidneys and the violation of water-salt balance.
- Polyhydramnios.Severe polyhydramnios determined by ultrasound and, among other things, can cause an abnormal increase in the weight of a pregnant woman.
- multiple pregnancy.Normal weight gain during pregnancy, in this case - from 14 to 22 kg.
- Preeclampsia.Late toxemia of pregnancy develops in the third trimester and is characterized by not only a great weight gain, and high blood pressure and dysfunction of the urinary system.
to weight gain during pregnancy was not a cause for concern and does not poison the kid happy months of waiting, simply follow these simple rules:
- Limit salt intake in the first weeks of pregnancy.Sodium sufficient in vegetables and finished products, such as bread.Sodium is the salt causes fluid retention in the tissues, causing the scales steadily creeps right.
- possible, abandon unnecessary carbohydrates.Sweets - chocolate, bananas and cake - improve mood, but do not add health.
- periodically give yourself aerobic exercise: swimming (unless contraindicated), walking away from the polluted highways.
- Prefer boiled meat and steam fish, avoid fried, smoked and marinades.
