Weight gain in the eighth month of pregnancy is normal, but it should remain within healthy limits. Eat balanced meals with whole grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and good protein, and avoid sugary and fried foods. Have small, frequent meals and stay lightly active with safe activities such as walking if advised. Follow regular prenatal check-ups to monitor weight and overall health.
