Brief Answer:
Normal in your case.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

According to your given data, your BMI was 27.7 (Over Weight) before pregnancy.

During pregnancy, NORMAL weight gain for AVERAGE weight and UNDER weight (before pregnancy) women is 11 to 16 kg (1-1.5 Kg + 5-7 KG + 5-7 Kg).

However, it differs in case of OVER WEIGHT and OBESE women. It should be around 8 to 13 Kg. You have gained weight nearly 6.4 Kg at the end of 2nd trimester. It is QUITE NORMAL in your case.

If baby is growing well with NORMAL scan report, then there is no need to worry about weight gain. You can consult with your obstetrician regarding this.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and successful motherhood.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Normal weight gain. Do one USG scan.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

Your current weight gain is NORMAL according to stage of pregnancy. However, I suggest you to undergo FRESH ultrasound scan to get detailed picture. It will be more worthwhile. Kindly, consult with your doctor after that.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.
