Top Asked Questions
What does it mean for my baby's development?
At 25 weeks, significant weight gain indicates healthy growth and development. The baby is building up fat, which is crucial for regulating body temperature and metabolism after birth.
How much weight should my baby be gaining?
While growth rates can vary, by 25 weeks, the average fetus weighs about 1.5 to 2.2 pounds (680 to 1000 grams). This period marks the start of more rapid weight gain.
Can I track my baby's weight gain through ultrasounds?
Yes, ultrasounds can estimate fetal weight by measuring various parts of the baby's body. These estimates can give you an idea of whether your baby's growth is on track.
What factors contribute to my baby's weight gain?
Your baby's weight gain is influenced by your diet, overall health, and the efficiency of the placenta. Adequate nutrition, avoiding harmful substances, and regular prenatal care support healthy fetal growth.
Should I be concerned about how much weight I'm gaining?
Your healthcare provider will monitor your weight gain to ensure it's within a healthy range for your pregnancy stage. Excessive or insufficient maternal weight gain can affect the baby's growth, so it's important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations.

It’s I’ve been told my whole pregnancy my baby is under weight first he was in the 17th percentile then went to 10 but I honestly think my baby does what he want literally every week after he gets a lil bigger at 30 weeks my baby was barely 3lb6oz as of last week he’s 6lbs2 oz . So don’t stress yourself mommy cause I sure was stressing all I did was just keep eating like I been doing

I’m starting to think that instead of me gaining weight, the baby is just eating my weight or something 😐. Week 28…still 124 pounds this morning.

Is anyone not gaining weight but their baby is? Not concerned lol. Just was wondering.
Bella
I’ve actually lost weight 8lb in my first trimester due to vomiting. I haven’t noticed my belly get bigger. However, my baby is growing with no issues and I’m thankful . I’ve been told that it’s too soon to start showing.
