Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator – Track Healthy Gains by Trimester

Pregnancy is a unique journey, and weight gain is a natural and necessary part of it. However, how much weight you should gain depends on your pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI), and it varies across trimesters. Our Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator is designed to give personalized weight gain recommendations by trimester based on your height and starting weight. This helps ensure a healthy pregnancy for both you and your baby.

How the Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator Works

Based on your input (weight, height, and current trimester), the calculator determines your BMI and compares it with standard pregnancy guidelines issued by medical authorities like the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Depending on whether you're underweight, normal, overweight, or obese, it provides an optimal weight gain range. You’ll also see an estimated weight gain up to your current trimester along with a visual chart to track progress.

Recommended Weight Gain During Pregnancy by BMI

• Underweight (BMI < 18.5): 12.5–18 kg
• Normal Weight (BMI 18.5–24.9): 11.5–16 kg
• Overweight (BMI 25–29.9): 7–11.5 kg
• Obese (BMI ≥ 30): 5–9 kg

Why Monitoring Weight Gain is Important

Gaining too little can lead to low birth weight and complications during labor, while excessive weight gain may increase the risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and cesarean delivery. By using our calculator, you can stay informed and take control of your pregnancy health journey.
