It is important that pregnant mothers should know
how much weight they can put on after becoming
pregnant so that overweight does not give rise to
unwanted complications during the period of
pregnancy. Doctors suggest that while women of
average weight should gain 25-35 pounds, women
who are underweight should target a gain of 28-40
pounds to remain healthy. 15-25 pounds is what
overweight women should gain.

2. Keeping in mind that your baby needs a healthy
supply of calories and nutrients to grow
normally, you, as a mother will need to gain
weight gradually. You should aim at gaining
weight each week during the trimesters so as to
stay healthy. 3. Prepare a plan on how much
weight you should gain during the trimesters,
taking into consideration your BMI. Suggested
weight gain during the first trimester is a
maximum of four pounds. During this period if you
are experiencing morning sickness, you should
keep to that much calorie that you can withstand,
leaving the balance of calories for the next
trimester.
