Weight gain during pregnancy should be gradual with the most weight being gained in the last trimester.

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), you should gain about 2 to 4 pounds during the first three months of pregnancy and then 3 to 4 pounds per month for the rest of your pregnancy.

Total weight gain should be about 25 to 30 pounds. This will decrease the risk of delivering a low-birth-weight baby.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that women who have a low Body Mass Index (BMI) - the ratio of weight to height - should gain 28 to 40 pounds during pregnancy and women who have a higher BMI should gain 15 to 25 pounds. Check with your doctor to determine how much weight gain during pregnancy is healthy for you.
