When Should I Gain the Most? Although no two women are going to gain weight at exactly the same rate, there are some guidelines to follow: In the first trimester, you should gain 3.5 pounds if you're of normal weight. Underweight women need to gain 5 pounds, while overweight women should gain just 2. In the second and third trimesters, your weight gain begins to speed up. An average-weight woman will gain about a pound a week between weeks 14 and 28.
On a Trimester Basis: 1  First trimester: 1 pound per month ~ (about 4lb) in the first three months. 2  Second trimester: 1 pound per week for the next three months ~ (12 - 14lb) in total. 3  Third trimester: around 1 pound per week ~ (12lb) over the last three months.
