Pregnancy is a time of incredible transformation, both emotionally and physically. As your baby grows, so does your body—embracing new changes to support the little life inside you. One of the most common concerns for expectant mothers is weight gain: How much is normal? What’s considered healthy? And how can you track it effectively?

Our Pregnancy Weight Tracker is designed to help you monitor your weight gain week by week, ensuring you stay on track for a healthy pregnancy.

How Much Weight Should You Gain During Pregnancy?

The amount of weight you should gain depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI (Body Mass Index):

• Underweight (BMI < 18.5) → Gain 13–18 kg
• Normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9) → Gain 11–16 kg
• Overweight (BMI 25–29.9) → Gain 7–11 kg
• Obese (BMI ≥ 30) → Gain 5–9 kg

If you’re expecting twins, your recommended weight gain will be higher, and your doctor may provide specific guidance based on your health and pregnancy progression.

Tracking Your Weight Gain with Ease

Gaining weight steadily throughout pregnancy is important, but how do you know if you’re on the right track?

Our Pregnancy Weight Tracker makes it simple:

1. Enter your pre-pregnancy weight and height to determine your BMI.
2. Log your current weight to see if you’re within the recommended range.
3. Monitor your progress weekly to ensure healthy weight gain. 

Why Does Pregnancy Weight Gain Matter?

A healthy weight gain isn’t just about numbers—it plays a crucial role in your baby’s growth and your well-being.

• Supports baby’s development – Proper weight gain ensures your baby gets essential nutrients for healthy growth.
• Reduces pregnancy complications – Gaining too much or too little weight can increase risks such as gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and high blood pressure.
• Prepares your body for labor – A well-balanced weight gain contributes to a smoother delivery and postpartum recovery.

Where Does the Extra Weight Go?

Wondering where all those extra pounds are going? Here’s a breakdown of typical pregnancy weight distribution:

• Baby: ~3–3.6 kg
• Placenta: ~0.7 kg
• Amniotic fluid: ~0.9 kg
• Uterus growth: ~0.9 kg
• Increased blood volume: ~1.4–1.8 kg
• Increased fluid volume: ~1.4–1.8 kg
• Breast tissue growth: ~0.5–0.9 kg

Tips for Healthy Weight Gain

• Eat nutrient-dense foods – Focus on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
• Stay active – Safe exercises like walking, prenatal yoga, and swimming help with weight management.
• Listen to your body – Hunger cues change during pregnancy, so eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full.
• Stay hydrated – Drinking enough water supports digestion and prevents excessive water retention.
• Consult your doctor – Every pregnancy is different, and your healthcare provider can guide you on weight gain based on your needs.
