Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator

  
Weight gain is different for each woman and for each pregnancy. This calculator provides only a general guide to a woman's expected weight gain during her pregnancy. It takes into account her normal height and weight prior to the pregnancy and suggests a range for pregnancy weight gain.

Focus should not be so much on how much weight you gaining but how well you are eating!

How much weight should I gain?  .....  The correct answer is 'It varies.'

You should be gaining weight during your pregnancy, since you are carrying a little one inside you, and it is important for your health, and the health of your baby. The exact amount of weight gain will some-what depend on how much you weighed prior to conception. The pregnancy weight gain calculator will provide you with an estimate on weight gain, however, the charts below are useful.

The 'Pregnancy Weight Calculator' is intended for educational purposes only.
It is not intended to replace any medical advice from your physician,
doctor or health care professional

  

On a Trimester Basis:

  
  • First trimester: 1 pound per month ~ (about 4lb) in the first three months.
  • Second trimester: 1 pound per week for the next three months ~ (12 - 14lb) in total.
  • Third trimester: around 1 pound per week ~ (12lb) over the last three months.

But remember, these are average figures for large numbers of women so just because your weight gain pattern is different, it doesn't mean anything is wrong.

Focus should not be so much on how much weight you are gaining
in pregnancy; but how well you are eating in pregnancy!

It is recommended that women should aim for a weight gain related to their pre-pregnancy BMI:
  • If BMI was above 26, you should aim for a weight gain of between 15 and 25lb (7 and 11.5kg).
  • If BMI was between 20 and 26, you should aim for a weight gain of 25 to 35lb (11.5 to 16kg).
  • If BMI was less than 20, you should aim for a weight gain of 28 to 40lb (12.5 to 18kg).
Calculate your BMI - Body Mass Index
The BMI is calculated and interpreted as follows:
BMI Below 19.8 is Underweight,  BMI = 19.8 to 26 is Normal,
BMI = 26 to 29 is Overweight,   BMI 29 and up is Obese.
