WEIGHT GAIN IN SECOND TRIMESTER
Weight gain in your second trimester will be more than your first trimester.
You will gain between 1 to 1.5 pounds ( 400-600grams )every week.
The weight gained does not go to the baby alone.
In the second trimester, nausea stops, appetite increases and you are comfyrtable because the baby is also not big enough to put pressure on your organs. However, excess weight gain can cause complications during delivery.
