PREGNANCY WT GAIN: The Institute of Medicine Guidelines for Maternal Wt Gain in Pregnancy ranges from 0.2kg (0.5 pounds) to 0.6kg (1.3 pounds) per week depending on the mother's weight before getting pregnant. The doctor should be monitoring both mom's weight and baby's growth (by ultrasound) very closely.
