Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the weight gain during pregnancy should be 6-10 kg depending on prepregnancy weight.So I suggest you to take healthy nutritional low calorie diet.Avoid rice,sweets,sugar etc.Dont worry it won't affect the growth of the baby.Exercise or walking for an hour daily is
also essential.
