Healthy Pregnancy Weight Gain
Weight gain during pregnancy is a natural and necessary part of supporting your growing baby. The amount of weight you should gain depends on your body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy. Tracking your gain helps ensure a healthy environment for both you and your baby.
Where Does the Weight Go?
Pregnancy weight gain isn't just fat. It's also the baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, increased blood volume, breast tissue, and uterine growth. Your body is undergoing incredible changes to support a new life.
Steady Progress
The rate of weight gain is usually slow in the first trimester and increases more rapidly in the second and third trimesters. It's often recommended to gain about 0.5kg per week during these later stages for women within a healthy BMI range.
