Instructions:
This tool helps you track your weight gain during pregnancy. To get the most accurate results, please enter the following details:
- Your pre-pregnancy weight (in kilograms)
- Your current weight (in kilograms)
- Your height (in feet & inches or centimeters)
- How many weeks pregnant you are (from 1 to 40 weeks)
The tool will calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) based on your pre-pregnancy weight and height. Then, it will show you if your weight gain is within the recommended range for your current stage of pregnancy.
Recommended Weight Gain Guidelines:
The recommended weight gain during pregnancy depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI (Body Mass Index). Here are the general guidelines:
- Underweight (BMI < 18.5): Gain 12.5 to 18 kg
- Normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9): Gain 11.5 to 16 kg
- Overweight (BMI 25–29.9): Gain 7 to 11.5 kg
- Obese (BMI ≥ 30): Gain 5 to 9 kg
Remember that weight gain is usually gradual and depends on the stage of pregnancy. Please consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
