| Managing your weight gain during pregnancy : Most women should gain somewhere between 25 and 35 pounds or lb (11.5 to 16 kilograms or kg) during pregnancy. Most will gain 2 to 4 lb (1 to 2 kg) during the first trimester, and then 1 pound (0.5 kg) a week for the rest of the pregnancy. The amount of weight gain depends on your situation. - Overweight women need to gain less (15 to 25 lb or 7 to 11.5 kg or less, depending on their pre-pregnancy weight). - Underweight women will need to gain more (28 to 40 lb or 12 to 18 kg). - You should gain more weight if you are having more than 1 baby. Women of normal weight having twins need to gain 37 to 54 lb (16.5 to 24.5 kg). A balanced, nutrient-rich diet, along with exercise, is the basis for a healthy pregnancy. For most pregnant women, the right amount of calories is: - 1,800 calories per day in the 1st trimester - 2,200 calories per day in the 2nd trimester - 2,400 calories per day in the 3rd trimester | |
