| How much pregnancy weight should you REALLY gain? Hi ,
I would say that 80% of women are worried that they're gaining too much, 10% are worried that they're gaining too little (really!) and the remaining 10% are happy with where they're at!
Of all the hundreds of emails I get, the biggest question is definitely, "How much weight should I REALLY gain?"
Before I answer that question, remember that every pregnancy is different.
Some women gain tons of weight (50+ pounds; 23kg), while others gain very little (15 pounds; 7kg). I gained 43 pounds (20kg) with my first pregnancy, and 50 pounds (23kg) with my second - yes, you read that right! So How Much Weight Should YOU Gain?
The answer lies in your pre-pregnancy body weight category. That is, it depends on whether you were under-average, average weight or over-average weight before you became pregnant.
For example, according to the charts published by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, if you are 5'4" and 120 pounds (163cm and 54kg) you would be considered to be of average weight. This means a healthy weight gain for you would be between 25 to 35 pounds (11 to 16kg).

But What if You've Already Gained More Than You SHOULD? If you feel you've already gained more than you should, it's never too late to turn over a new leaf!
If you haven't been exercising, start walking everyday (with your health care provider's OK of course)!
If you've been eating too much take-out food, do your best to prepare and eat home-cooked meals with lots of vegetables! If you HAVE been taking good care of yourself (eating right and exercising), but still feel that you've gained more than you need to - RELAX and keep up the good work! The extra weight gain might just be what your body needs to support your pregnancy (remember - those weight gain charts are JUST guidelines!). Whatever you do, though, DO NOT RESTRICT YOUR CALORIES! Pregnancy is not the time to cut calories. If you focus on staying active, eating healthy and following my program (i.e. and don't use pregnancy as a ticket to eat everything) - your weight gain during pregnancy and your weight loss afterwards should not be an issue.
