You check the scale and realise you have gained 7 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that healthy? Too much? Too little?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number by itself cannot tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two women at the same stage of pregnancy can gain exactly the same amount and need completely different advice. One may have started pregnancy underweight. Another may have started overweight. Their appetite, baby’s growth, blood glucose, symptoms and medical conditions may also be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why weight gain during pregnancy should be interpreted, not simply counted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A chart can tell you where your number sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more useful question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat does my weight pattern mean for my pregnancy, and do I actually need to change anything?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaway:<\/strong> Healthy weight gain during pregnancy depends partly on your pre-pregnancy BMI and partly on how your pregnancy is progressing. Women who begin pregnancy at a lower BMI generally require more gestational weight gain than women who begin overweight or with obesity. A week-by-week chart is useful for comparison, but it is a reference rather than a personal target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
