How to control weight gain at 8 months of pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Weight gain during pregnancy should be controlled to about 2 pounds per month. Excessive weight gain can compress the lower limbs and may also lead to gestational hypertension, which is harmful to both the mother and the fetus. Therefore, try to control your intake of staple foods and avoid starchy foods, such as sweet potatoes. The food should not be too greasy. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and maintain a balanced diet.
