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.
If your weight is normal, you will ideally gain between 25 and 35 pounds. If you are overweight (weigh more than 35 percent above the ideal body weight), you may be urged to gain between 15 and 25 pounds. If you are pregnant with more than one baby, you will be advised to gain an even greater amount of weight.ome goes to the growth of your baby and some goes to the body changes necessary to support your pregnancy. Weight gain during pregnancy occurs in a predictable pattern. You will gain only a little weight the first trimester and will have a more rapid gain during the second and third trimesters.
