Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator

	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 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 right 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 somewhat 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 chart below is useful as well.Чалькулятор увеличения веса стельности - Calculatrice de gain de poids de grossesse - Zwangerschap Gewicht Winst Calculator - Schwangerschaft Gewichtszunahme Rechner - Ciąża - الحمل وزيادة الوزن حاسبة الحمل - Gravidez Peso Ganho Calculadora

	Calculate your BMI - Body Mass Index
	The BMI is calculated and interpreted as follows: BMI Below 18.5 is Underweight, BMI = 18.5 to 26 is Normal, BMI = 26.1 to 29.9 is Overweight, BMI 30 and up is Obese. 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).

First trimester: 1 pound per month (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 (10lb) 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.
