But how many kilograms is it actually normal to gain? And when should you keep a closer eye on your weight? In this article, we\u2019ll explain what you can expect.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Want to learn more about a healthy pregnancy? Check out our knowledge base:<br><a href=\"\/en\/knowledge-base\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">\/knowledge base\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you gain weight during pregnancy?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaining weight during pregnancy is completely normal and necessary. Your body is making room and building up reserves for your baby. The weight gain isn't just from the baby itself, but also from:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The placenta&nbsp;<\/li><li>Amniotic fluid&nbsp;<\/li><li>Extra blood and fluid&nbsp;<\/li><li>Growing uterus and breasts&nbsp;<\/li><li>Fat reserves for breastfeeding&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many kilos is it normal to gain?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On average, pregnant women are between <strong>10 and 15 kilograms<\/strong> during pregnancy. This is a guideline; what\u2019s healthy for you depends on your body and your starting weight.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guidelines based on BMI:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Underweight (BMI &lt; 18.5)<\/strong>: approximately 12.5\u201318 kg&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Healthy weight (BMI 18.5\u201325)<\/strong>: approximately 10\u201315 kg&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Overweight (BMI 25\u201330)<\/strong>: approximately 7\u201311 kg&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Obesity (BMI &gt; 30)<\/strong>: approximately 5\u20139 kg&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your checkup at the office, we can advise you on a sensible amount of weight gain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may find that changes in your body are difficult for you\u2014for example, because you feel insecure about your weight. Please feel free to talk about this!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do you gain the most weight?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weight gain varies from person to person. Some pregnant women gain a lot of weight early on. For example, eating helps them feel less nauseous. Others gain weight gradually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common is:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>First trimester<\/strong>: little to no weight gain (sometimes even weight loss due to nausea)&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Second trimester<\/strong>: gradual increase&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Third trimester<\/strong>: the baby's greatest growth and, therefore, the most weight gain&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should weight gain be a cause for concern?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaining too little or too much weight can affect your health and that of your baby.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible points to consider:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Not enough arrivals\n<\/strong>: may affect the baby's growth&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Gaining too much weight\n<\/strong>: increases the risk of complications such as high blood pressure or gestational diabetes&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can step on the scale here if you'd like. It's not required. You can also weigh yourself during the Centering Pregnancy program, but you don't have to.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Learn more about prenatal checkups:<br><a href=\"\/en\/pregnancy\/\">\/pregnancy\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Healthy Weight Gain<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A healthy lifestyle helps you gain weight naturally:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eat a varied and nutritious diet&nbsp;<\/li><li>Be sure to get enough exercise (such as walking or swimming)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Avoid \u201ceating for two\u201d\u2014you just need a little extra&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A weight gain of about 10 to 15 kilograms is normal for most women during pregnancy. What\u2019s considered healthy varies from person to person.
