4 Tricks to Prevent Excessive Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Dream - Loss of appetite, nausea, and dizziness are usually experienced by pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy or the first 3 months. This is due to drastic hormonal changes.

4 Tricks to Prevent Excessive Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Entering the age of 6 months of pregnancy and above, usually the body condition becomes more stable. When nausea and dizziness subside, the appetite of pregnant women tends to increase. If not controlled, the increase can be excessive.

4 Tricks to Prevent Excessive Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Safe weight gain for pregnant women is between 11 and 16 kg. During pregnancy, it is important for the fetus to gain weight, not the mother. The key is to consume a lot of protein and avoid carbohydrates or high-fat foods.

4 Tricks to Prevent Excessive Weight Gain During Pregnancy

"Excessive weight during pregnancy can also increase the risk of high blood pressure and high blood sugar. So how can weight be maintained at a normal level during pregnancy?"

4 Tricks to Prevent Excessive Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Listen to the tricks from Dr. Michelle Lim from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore.

1. Reduce consumption of high-fat foods.

Sometimes, we can't resist consuming cream cakes, pastries, fried foods, and coconut milk-based dishes. It is important to remember that excessive consumption of high-calorie snacks can cause extra weight gain during pregnancy and make it difficult for mothers to regain their ideal body shape after giving birth. Choose healthier snacks such as low-fat yogurt, fresh fruits, vegetables, or whole wheat biscuits when feeling hungry between meals.

2. Reduce Sugar Intake

Doctors and nutritionists agree that sweet drinks are not good to consume excessively, especially during pregnancy. Increase drinking plain water. If you want to add flavor, you can add slices of fruits and make it a delicious natural infused water.

               

3. Check Composition Label

Choose products that are low in fat, sugar, and salt, and high in fiber. Remember, portion size is important, so remember to stick to the portion size specified on the nutrition label because some low-calorie food portions can add a significant amount of calories.

               

4. Stay Active

"Although you are pregnant, you can still engage in some physical activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or light aerobics. Of course, it should not be too heavy, but being physically active has many benefits for both the mother and the baby. Start with 15 minutes of exercise and gradually increase it to 30 minutes a day, five to seven days a week. Report by Aykaputri Amalia/ Source: HealthHub"
