Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator

Recommended pregnancy weight-gain ranges on this calculator follow IOM-style categories based on pre-pregnancy BMI and are shown in pounds. They are population guidelines meant for education: your prenatal team may set different targets for twins, underweight or obesity history, or medical conditions. Height and weight inputs never leave your device.
