Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator
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.
| Your Body Weight | Weight Gain |
| Overweight: | 28-40 pounds |
| Normal: | 25-35 pounds |
| Underweight: | 15-25 pounds |
| If you are expecting Twins: | 35-45 pounds |
Remember that your focus should not be upon how much weight you are gaining but rather to make sure that you are eating healthy so as to ensure a healthy child.
