Other ancillary materials include whatever software tools and associated workbook tutorials an instructor may choose to use in the course. Because the possibilities are so varied and we have no intention of forcing all instructors into the straight jacket of a single tool, no such ancillaries accompany the book.
A. The healthy weight gain during pregnancy rate should be: 4 pounds during the first trimester. If underweight, add 1 pound. 1 pound per week thereafter. Add Â¼ pound if underweight. During the last month, itâs normal to gain less even though baby is still gaining. Average weight gain is 1-2 pounds, although that can vary. Most women gain weight during the second trimester, which coincides with the period of most rapid weight gain of baby (from 1 ounce to 2 pounds). Itâs not abnormal to bounce up 5 to 10 pounds quickly between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Second and Third Trimester. It is normal for pregnant women in their second or third trimester to be hungrier because their baby needs more fuel to develop at this stage. You will need an average of 300 extra calories a day to gain weight at a healthy pace while supplying enough energy to your growing baby. You can calculate your daily calorie need for these trimesters simply by adding an extra 200 calories a day compared to what you were eating during the first trimester.
