How much weight should i be gaining every week?

1/2-1 pound: For patients who start off at their ideal weight, we recommend 4 lbs in the first trimester, then 1/2-1 lb per week thereafter, for a total of about 25-32 lbs. The weight gain is different for twins, or for patients who are overweight or have medical conditions like hypertension or diabetes.

In pregnancy?: It's difficult to say in that early on weight may drop. We look at weight over time, 25-35 pounds throughout the pregnancy being optimal for a person of normal weight. 15 pounds is what we look for in an overweight person.

Depends: Weight gain in pregnancy depends on which trimester you are in and what your starting weight is. For a normal weight person gain 2-3 pounds every 4 weeks then after 20 weeks gain 4 pounds every 4 weeks is good. This would total 25-35 pounds.
