Weight Gain During Pregnancy

December 03, 2009

http://www.megavista-health.com/articles/health-condition-articles/weight-gain-during-pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is common and necessary for the proper growth and development of a fetus. Many moms are disappointed to discover that their pregnancy weight gain was more than expected, or that fat has deposited in areas other than the belly, such as the legs, thighs, arms, or face. Luckily, pregnancy weight gain can be a temporary situation. With a proper diet and exercise regimen, weight loss after pregnancy can be a reality.

Normal pregnancy weight gain is between 11.4-15.9kg (25-35 pounds). Women need about 300 additional calories each day to provide adequate nutrition and energy for both mother and baby. During the first trimester of pregnancy, you should gain about 1.4-2.3kg (3-5 pounds) and gain an average of one pound per week for each remaining week of your pregnancy. Using a pregnancy weight gain calculator can help you determine how much weight gain during pregnancy is appropriate for your height and body type.
Exercises for Pregnant Women

Exercises for pregnant women, such as pregnancy yoga, are an excellent way to avoid excess weight gain during pregnancy and aid in losing weight more quickly after giving birth. Pregnancy yoga and other exercises for pregnant women are gaining popularity due to increased awareness of the importance of staying healthy during pregnancy. As a result, there are many excellent exercises for pregnant women available through many programs developed by experts.

Some experts warn against strenuous exercise in the third trimester, and others warn against taking on new exercise regimens after becoming pregnant, if you didnt exercise prior to becoming pregnant. Use a pregnancy calculator to determine exactly how far along you are and gauge your exercise routine appropriately. Using exercises designed especially for pregnant women, such as pregnancy yoga, will help ensure your safety and the safety of your baby throughout your pregnancy.

Despite your best efforts, some weight gain during pregnancy is inevitable and its necessary for the health of your baby. A pregnancy weight gain calculator can give you a good idea of an appropriate weight gain range for your specific situation, although every woman is different. Dont get discouraged if you gain a few more pounds than anticipated or if your body looks a little less appealing than youd like. After the birth of your baby, you can begin a weight loss program that will get you back into pre-pregnancy shape in no time.

Here at Megavista Health, we focus on positive, holistic health and nutrition. If youre currently pregnant or trying to become pregnant, read on to learn about some excellent programs aimed at keeping you healthy and fit during pregnancy.
