Track Your Pregnancy Weight Gain

Most women who deliver healthy babies gain somewhere between 25 and 35 pounds during pregnancy. This varies of course, depending on your body type and your weight before conception. If you were underweight before you got pregnant, you probably need to gain a bit more; if you were overweight, you probably need to gain a bit less. Being underweight or overweight throughout your pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of complications. That's why knowing your healthy pregnancy weight range is so important.
