Abnormal body shape during pregnancy is also common, and it is an essential sacrifice for mothers. During pregnancy, there should be a standard for a woman's weight gain. So, how much weight does she gain at five months of pregnancy?
There is a certain standard for the weight gain of pregnant women. The calculation method is to first calculate the pre pregnancy body mass index, commonly known as BMI. The algorithm is BMI=weight (kilograms)/height (meters) squared, and then reasonably infer the standard for judging the weight gain of pregnant women throughout the entire pregnancy based on the calculated BMI value.
If the BMI is less than or equal to 19.8, the pregnant woman has a low body weight and can gain 12.5-18 kilograms throughout the pregnancy. A BMI between 19.8 and 26 is considered normal weight and can increase by approximately 11.5-16 kilograms. If the BMI is greater than or equal to 26, it is considered a pregnant woman with high body weight, and the range of weight gain should be slightly smaller, 6-11 kilograms is sufficient.
It is worth noting that weight gain during pregnancy is not uniform, and typically, there is more weight gain during mid pregnancy. Taking pregnant women with standard weight as an example.
Early pregnancy: maintain basic pre pregnancy weight; Mid pregnancy: around 10 to 30 weeks of pregnancy (approximately 2 to 7 months), weight gain of 5 kilograms can be achieved, plus 3.5 kilograms of accumulated fat in the mother's body, for a total weight gain of 8.5 kilograms during this stage.
Late pregnancy: From pregnancy to the last 10 weeks of delivery, the rate of weight gain slows down and continues to increase by approximately 1.5 to 4 kilograms. In general, mothers can gain around 3 kilograms of weight at five months (20 weeks) of pregnancy.
