Re:Newly pregnant - how much weight will I gain?
The average weight gain during pregnancy is about 25 pounds, which adds up to a half pound a week during the first trimester and a pound a week during the second and third trimester. But weight gain can be extremely variable.
If you are underweight at the time you get pregnant, you can easily gain 30 to 35 pounds and this will be a healthy weight for you and your pregnancy. If you are overweight at the time you get pregnant, you can gain less weight, even down to only 15 pounds for the entire pregnancy and the baby will be perfectly happy.
