"Weight gain during pregnancy is based on your pre-pregnancy BMI, but typically a healthy weight gain in women who were of normal weight prior to pregnancy is 25 to 35 pounds (11.5 to 16 kilograms). For women who were underweight, recommended weight gain is 28 to 40 pounds (12 to 18 kg), and for overweight women, it is 15 to 25 pounds (7 to 11.5 kg).
Here is a more specific breakdown:
Underweight (BMI < 18.5): 28 to 40 pounds (12 to 18 kg).
Normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9): 25 to 35 pounds (11.5 to 16 kg).
Overweight (BMI 25 to 29.9): 15 to 25 pounds (7 to 11.5 kg).
Obese (BMI 30 or more): 11 to 20 pounds (5 to 9 kg)
