Your doctor can advise you precisely how much weight you should gain when you are pregnant. Meanwhile, the following table provides recommended weight gains based on a woman’s body mass index (BMI) at the beginning of the pregnancy.

For women whose BMI is normal, the recommended weight gain over the course of the pregnancy is 25 to 35 pounds. Women who are underweight, or have a low BMI, should gain more weight, and women who are overweight, or have a high BMI, should gain less.

Normal BMI 19-25.9 25-35 pounds
