During pregnancy, with normal fetal development and proper nutrition, a woman gains 10-12 kg. Over a period of time, the weight can dramatically increase by several kg, it can remain the same, or it can decrease. Pregnant women lose weight in several cases.
In the first half of pregnancy, especially in the very first weeks, some women may experience weight loss. Why do pregnant women lose weight? This may be due to: - toxicosis; - illness; - stress; - improper daily routine Vomiting is a sign of toxicosis. The pregnant woman feels weak, she has no appetite, which leads to weight loss. During this period, you should be observed by a doctor. If the toxicosis is severe, then the pregnant woman can be sent to a hospital for special treatment. At home, it is necessary to set aside enough time for good sleep, eat easily digestible foods, B vitamins and ascorbic acid. During pregnancy, a woman's immunity weakens, so it is easier for her to contract infectious diseases. Illness can lead to weight loss due to fetal disruptions and impaired appetite of the pregnant woman. The pregnant woman is more emotional, vulnerable and prone to anxiety and stress. In order not to think about the bad, she needs to occupy herself with what she loves, to move more, to walk, and in the evening to relax, lying on the bed and listening to calm music. For a woman expecting a baby, the daily routine is important. Daytime sleep (up to 1.5 hours), long walks in the fresh air (in the park, not in shops), a varied balanced diet are required. In addition to all of the above, weight loss in a pregnant woman can be observed due to the fact that the fetus develops at the expense of the mother's reserves. At the same time, he grows, and the woman loses weight. Slight weight loss is not a cause for concern. All women gain weight in different ways during pregnancy: some - 4 kg, and some - 15. The main thing is that the expectant mother and fetus receive a sufficient amount of nutrients, trace elements and vitamins.
