How many pounds is huge? Eight or nine pounds of huge children are now everywhere, and obviously too many pregnant mothers are not aware of the risks of huge children. People tend to think, "Huge baby, caesarean section is good".
In fact, getting pregnant with a fat boy is not just about the way of childbirth. A survey found that more than 60% of the huge children will become "big fat" in adulthood. Even if there are no complications at birth, the probability of high blood lipids, heart disease, and diabetes is much higher than that of ordinary people when they grow up.
What are the benefits of good weight control?
Taking Xiaobian as an example, I weighed 94 pounds before pregnancy, the weight gain during the entire pregnancy was controlled at 12.5 kg, and the baby's birth weight was exactly 6.8 kg (6-7 kg is my goal), smooth delivery, and the weight of one month after childbirth naturally recovered to 96 kg.
So weight control is good, good for both the baby and the mother.
How much weight gain is appropriate throughout pregnancy?
First of all, each person's pre-pregnancy weight is different, and the standard weight range gained during pregnancy is also different.
In simple terms:
Before pregnancy, it is relatively thin, and it is advisable to increase the weight of 12.5-18 kg throughout pregnancy;
Before pregnancy, it is not fat or thin, the weight is just right, and it is advisable to increase the weight of 11.5-16 kg during the entire pregnancy;
If you are fatter before pregnancy, it is advisable to gain 7-11.5 kg of weight throughout pregnancy.
What is thin and what is fat? If more rigorous is needed, the BMI (Body Mass Index) before pregnancy can be calculated.
The formula for calculation is: BMI = weight÷ square of height. (Weight unit: kg; height unit: meter.) ）
BMI
BMI 18.5~23.9 (Normal)
BMI>23.9 (overweight/obesity)
It's not enough to just know the weight gain throughout pregnancy! The first trimester soars, and it will be difficult to control it in the third trimester. Or the weight gain in the first trimester is too slow and the third trimester soars, so that the baby's growth and development will be affected. Therefore, we must scientifically and reasonably divide these dozen kilograms into the first trimester, the second trimester, and the third trimester.
In the early, middle and third trimesters of pregnancy, the standards of weight gain are different.
First trimester: weight should be gained by 1-2 kg as well, and weight gain should be 350-500 grams per week.
For pregnant mothers with early pregnancy reactions, weight may not increase but decrease, if it drops by 5kg or continues to decline within a week, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
Second trimester: the overall weight should be increased by 5 kg, with an average increase of about 300 to 500 grams per week.
During the period of steady weight increase, the baby is in the stage of differentiation and weight growth of various organs, and pregnant mothers need to provide them with sufficient nutrients and a reasonable diet.
Third trimester: the overall weight should be increased by 5-6 kg, with an average increase of about 400 to 500 grams per week.
This is a period of rapid baby weight growth, and pregnant mothers need to meet their baby's energy needs. But in the last month of pregnancy, pregnant mothers often want to eat sweets, and if the weight has almost increased, they must control themselves.
Pregnant mothers can take a pen to calculate, see how much their weight has gained, and if they grow too fast, they must control it!
Overweight, how to adjust the diet?
When you find that your weight gain exceeds the standard over the course of a week, it means that your diet is unreasonable and you need to adjust your diet and energy intake.
Reduce high-calorie, low-nutrient foods
Fried fried, puffed and other foods such as french fries, shrimp strips, pots, etc., high calories and low nutritional value, in addition to increasing the weight of the mother, there is no other benefit, to eat less; broth, such as rib soup, tube bone broth, pig's trotter soup, etc., the broth in the purine and fat content is very high, nutrition is in the meat, to eat more meat and drink less soup is appropriate. Carbonated drinks: This needless to say, drink two sips when hungry.
Be sure to control your dessert intake in the last month
The fetus finally needs a lot of energy to develop, which will give the mother a "I need energy" signal. Pregnant mothers will have a great appetite and have a soft spot for sweets. Cakes, breads, biscuits and other energy are replenished too quickly, and most of them eventually become fat. At this time, eat too much high-energy pasta, and the weight will rub against it... But weight control to the last month, can not give up.
Control the intake of staple foods, but staple foods can not be less
We want to control weight gain, but the basic energy is still to be guaranteed, the growth and development of the fetus, especially neurodevelopment and the metabolism of the pregnant mother's body require energy, and the main source of energy is the staple food. The staple food should not be too much, more long meat, but not too little, every day to ensure about 300g.
