According to the Institute of Medicine, USA, a woman whose body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 24.9 should gain from 25 to 35 pounds (11.4-15.9 kilograms) during the nine months. A woman who is overweight at the start of pregnancy should gain between 15 to 25 pounds (6.8 to 11.4 kg).Weight gain recommendations may also vary, depending on the woman's age, fetal development, and her current health. Excessive or insufficient weight gain can undermine the health of both the fetus and the mother.owever, this does not mean she should eat for two, i.e. her calorie consumption does not double, it just goes up.

Weight gain, if the mother is carrying just one baby, varies considerably.
