Weight gain during pregnancy varies based on individual factors, but general guidelines suggest that women should aim for a gain of 25-35 pounds if they start at a healthy weight. Those who are underweight may need to gain more, while overweight women should aim for 15-25 pounds. It’s essential to focus on a balanced diet rich in nutrients and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations. Gaining the right amount of weight can support the health of both mother and baby.
