Brief Answer:
Weight gain is slightly more.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Usually total weight gain during pregnancy is 10 kilos out of which at least 4 kilos is gained after 28 weeks of pregnancy. Till 12 weeks there is almost 1-2 kilo weight gain. Till 22 weeks you should not have gained more than 4 kilos. Your weight gain is slightly on a higher side. It is best to avoid taking fatty foods or calorie rich foods and try to have high protein and nutritious diet.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
