One-fifth of pregnant women in the United States are obese, and more and more doctors are advising them to watch their weight if they want an easy pregnancy and a smooth delivery. In May, the Institute of Medicine issued guidelines lowering the minimum recommended weight gain for obese women to 11 pounds, from 15. Now, a large four-year trial called the Healthy Moms study is going further, trying to keep obese pregnant women from gaining any weight at all. If they do gain weight, researchers want it limited to 3 percent of their baseline weight, about 5 pounds for a woman who weighs 170 pounds.
If you prepregnancy BMI was normal (18.5 to 24.9), experts now recommend gaining 37 pounds to 54 pounds; 20 to 30 pounds by 20 weeks; and 30 to 46 pounds by 28 weeks and the rest in the last trimester. Other recommendations for women pregnant with twins: OVERWEIGHT (BMI 25 to 29.9) Gain 31 to 50 pounds.
