Check! Do I have the problem of postpartum obesity?

Although elders often say that one person eats two supplements, how to gain weight during pregnancy is more appropriate? And at what speed should I gradually lose weight after childbirth? There is actually a definition of postpartum obesity, and I'll take you to understand it now.

Weight gain during pregnancy is based on body mass index.

A few years ago, pregnant mothers suggested that the weight gain during pregnancy should be the same, regardless of height, height and obesity. But now, they take the pre-pregnancy "body mass index (BMI value)" as an examination, and combine the conditions of height, weight and singleton twins to make an objective weight gain plan.

Li, director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, said that if women are thin before pregnancy, the reasonable weight gain will be more than the average person, so that mothers can have more fat and energy for their babies to grow up. However, if you are already fat, you should carefully control your weight throughout pregnancy. If the weight gain far exceeds the recommended value, in addition to the increased probability of gestational diabetes, the fetus will also bear higher production risks, which will have a great impact on the health of mommy and fetus.

Lose weight by 4 ~ 5 kg immediately after delivery.

Single-term newborn, the average weight is about 3.3 ~ 3.4 kg. After deducting 700 c c amniotic fluid (about 0.7 kg) and 0.6 kg placenta, you can usually lose 4 ~ 5 kg immediately after delivery.

As for the mother who is pregnant with twins, she can lose about 8 ~ 9 kg immediately after delivery (the actual weight loss will still be different according to her physical condition). Director Li reminded that due to the limited uterine space, premature delivery of twin pregnancy is more common than singleton pregnancy. Twins are born at 35-37 weeks on average, and most of them weigh 2.2-2.7 kilograms.

Body mass index and body fat rate define "postpartum obesity"

Director Li explained that postpartum obesity is often defined as "the weight after 6 weeks of delivery is 65,438+00% higher than that before pregnancy"-suppose a woman weighing 50 kg before pregnancy, if her weight increases to 65 kg during pregnancy, she must drop below 55 kg after 6 weeks of delivery, otherwise it is defined as postpartum obesity.

In addition, if the body mass index value is used, it belongs to the normal range between 18 ~ 23, and beyond this value, it shows that the weight is biased. Furthermore, the ideal body fat rate of women before the age of 30 should be less than 24%, and over the age of 30 should be less than 27%. If the body fat rate exceeds 30%, it can also be defined as postpartum obesity.
