 ~ How much weight should I gain during pregnancy? ~

 

·          About 25 to 35 pounds.  If you are under-weight when you get pregnant you may need to gain more weight.  If you are overweight when you get pregnant you may want to gain only 15-18 pounds. 

·          It’s best to gain about 2-3 lbs. in the first 12 weeks and about 1 lb a week after that.  Talk to Dr. Thompson about how much weight you should gain.
