Through this calculator of the ideal weight in pregnancy, it is possible to control the weight gain in each week of gestation and compare it with the range of weight considered healthy for that period. Do not forget that it is essential to eat a healthy diet and exercise during pregnancy. This calculator of the ideal weight gain during pregnancy is a guidance tool that does not replace the indications of the doctor or gynecologist.

It is important to maintain an adequate weight and even more so during pregnancy, that is why we must have a healthy diet and do mild to moderate exercise during it.

How much weight should gain during pregnancy?

This depends on the initial weight of the pregnant woman and her height. With height and weight, we calculate the BMI of pregnant women. BMI= weight (kilograms)/height 2.

But not all cases are the same: It is not the same that the patient weighs 45 kg, because doctors will let her gain more weight (healthy weight gain), up to 16-18 kilos than another pregnant woman who weighs 100 kilos, in which case doctors will let her gain a little weight. In fact, they will put her on a diet and exercise if her pregnancy allows it. Nor is it the same that you are pregnant with twins or triplets as a singleton pregnancy. Pregnant twins, as is logical, are allowed a greater increase, which can reach 20-24 kilos gain during pregnancy.

How is pregnancy weight calculated?

The patient should always weigh herself at the same weight: it is best to weigh herself naked and empty stomach after the first urination in the morning, at home. If this is not possible, doctors will weigh her in the consultation, always with the same weight, removing shoes and heavy outerwear. What is done is to start from the initial weight and add it consultation by consultation.
