I have another question for you all!
I know a woman who is pregnant, currently about 27 weeks. She has been told
by her doctor that as she is very overweight (100+kg) she should put on as
little weight as possible during pregnancy. At 27 weeks she has only put on
three quarters of a kilo, and doctor is very pleased! I didn't know what to
say to her. Is such a small weight gain safe for the baby? According to
the textbooks, average weight gain is 3-4kgs in the first 20 weeks and then
half a kilo every week after that (of course, wide variances occur and every
woman is different), but the books that I have don't say if it's different
for obese women.
Less than a kilo of weight gain at 27 weeks...any thoughts?
Thanks
Kylie
