Frequently Asked Questions
Healthy weight gain during pregnancy depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Generally, underweight women should gain 12.5-18kg, normal weight women 11.5-16kg, overweight women 7-11.5kg, and obese women 5-9kg.
Proper weight gain supports your baby's development and reduces the risk of complications like preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure. It also helps with postpartum recovery.
In the first trimester, weight gain is minimal (0.5-2kg). Most weight gain occurs in the second and third trimesters, averaging about 0.5kg per week for women with normal pre-pregnancy weight.
