Dear Kylie
I think it can be individual. I have been caring for a woman who is
normally 110 kgs and usually loses weight (14-15 kgs) with each pregnancy
and the babies are fine. I guess it is done to how the woman is feeling in
herself and how bub palps etc.
Kind Regards
Sally-Anne

Subject: [ozmidwifery] Weight gain in pregnancy
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
