Calculate Your Weight Gain During Pregnancy
So you're pregnant, and you're starving! How much weight can you "legitimately" gain while attributing it to that darling baby who's rapidly growing within? When your hubby or boyfriend hints that it's time to stop the late night munchies, pull out our pregnancy pounds chart and show him how close to par your belly really is.
How Much Weight Should I Expect to Gain?
Your weight gain will vary. You should be gaining weight throughout your pregnancy, since you are carrying a growing baby inside you, and gaining weight is important for your health as well as the health of your baby. The exact amount of weight gain will vary and depends upon how much you weighed before becoming pregnant. The pregnancy weight gain calculator will provide you with an estimate on weight gain; the chart below is helpful as well.
