It is important to be aware of how much weight you should be gaining and when because it is important for the health of both you and your baby.
Slow and steady wins the race! Gaining too much or too little can lead to various issues during pregnancy and after you give birth - having an open discussion with your doctor or midwife is always recommended if you have any concerns.
How much weight you should gain during pregnancy is based on your
body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy. BMI is calculated by comparing
your weight to your height.
