1 Healthy weight (BMI of 18.5 to 24.9): If your pre-pregnancy weight was in the healthy range for your height at conception you should gain between 25 and 35 pounds, gaining 1 to 5 pounds in the first trimester and about 1 pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy for the optimal growth of your baby.
The appropriate amount of weight gain depends on your pre-pregnancy weight as well as your height. Here's the formula: Normal weight (kg)/height (square meters) = weight gain indicator. If your indicator shows less than 18, you are skinny. You should gain 44 pounds (20 kg) during the entire span of pregnancy. If your indicator ranges from 18 to 20, you are thin. You should gain 28.6-37.4 pounds (13-17 kg) during the entire span of pregnancy. If your indicator ranges from 20 to 23, you are normal. You should gain 26.4 pounds (12 kg) during the entire span of pregnancy.
