Weight gain during pregnancy is inevitable and your baby’s growth and development depend on it. So don’t worry about having a ‘perfect’ celebrity-style bump. The amount of weight you gain can depend on your pre-pregnancy weight – if you had some weight to lose beforehand, you should try to eat a sensible, balanced diet and not put on too much weight during your pregnancy.
Because there’s no single size, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to weight gain. But as a general rule, if you’re a healthy weight before pregnancy, you should aim to put on between 25 and 35 lbs ( 11 -15 KG)during the nine months. Aim to gain 15 to 25 lbs ( 7 -11 KG) if you’re overweight. But remember, pregnancy is not the time to diet – you’ll have time to deal with any excess weight in the months after your baby is born.
