2nd Tri weight gain. Hi Mummies, I am 19weeks today and realised I gained 2.2kg in a span of 3weeks?

My pre pregnancy BMI was 26.2 so its slightly overweight and I have been trying to avoid excessive weight gain in fear of complications and a difficult delivery. My 1st tri I've gained 1.8kg and suddenly week 15+ till now a whopping 2.2kg. I don't look super different or anything. Just wanted to check if this is healthy or normal? Esp for slightly overweight ppl like me?#1stimemom #advicepls #pregnancy

My bmi pre pregnancy is around the same as yours. My dr said for my bmi, ideally i should be gaining 0.5kg every week second trimester onwards. Try avoiding more sugary food/drinks and go for more walks. See if that helps with your weight gain.
